I have a few machines that will suspend work on their own. Is someone familar with this problem and know the cause and cure? Thanks!

Your machines are hidden. Are they Windows? Linux? Mac?

Go to the advanced view to the tasks tab. What is shown for the status? Perhaps "waiting for memory"?

I had this after upgrading to the more recent version of boincmanager. They tended to default to using 50% of memory, so I got work suspended with "waiting for memory". I have the memory setting at 95% when working and 100% when not. Never had a "waiting for memory" since.

These are Windows XP service pak 2 and the status is "Suspended - CPU Benchmarks". I see that when I open advanced view but if I wait a min. or two the task begins to run otherwise it will hang like that indefinately.

Yes, I have Windows XP pro SP2. Do you have the latest version of BOINC 5.10.28? It's fixed some bugs since the previous release 5.10.20 and could resolve your problems.

Hi, if you unhide your computers we can see more info and help sort it out easier (but it still does not identify you), plus you can tell us which one has the problem.

But as Ace mentioned this biggest problem of the newer version has been the waiting for memory due to the new memory manager. Though I had a memer with a similar problem to you and updating fixed it (if a bug was fixed it it just gave it a kick I do not know ;-)

I've been waiting to get into my profile to "show" my computers but it's not been accessable for the last week or so but the status on these suspended machines is "Suspended - CPU benchmarks".

That happens automatically about once a week (unless the schedule has changed), but should only last a minute or so, after which crunching should resume.

If the benchmarks are "stuck" or looping, best bet would probably beb to Exit (not just close the window) from BOINC Manager and restart it. Use your Windows task Manager to make sure boinc.exe and boincmgr.exe have disappeared from the project list before restarting it. Maybe a total PC reboot might be in order...
