Hi All,
I have an N-Body work unit that when started stated that the remaining time was just over a day. It is now on 60,000+ days with completion at 0.003% after nearly two days, it is using 4 CPU's.
Anyone know what's going on?

It's an i7 7700HQ CPU @2.8GHz, 8Gb ram, Win 10 Pro.

Thread bump.

I have a similar problem, though it isn't at 60,000 days.

Anyone?

Anytime you have a "stuck" WU, you should stop Boinc and restart it. If that causes the WU start properly incrementing its percentage completion, then all is good. If the WU continues to just stall out, then abort the task and start another. Usually, this will fix most of these kind of issues. But if the condition persists . . . . further troubleshooting with the Boinc client and host hardware will be necessary.

Yes, you are likely not allowing BOINC to use 100% of CPU time.
