Hanging WUs on Large Collatz?

[cineon_lut]

I've been running the Enigma challenge on the same machine as my 7970/Collatz work. Saved 1 thread for the GPU (1 out of 24 including HT) I have a slightly OC'd 7970 that can get through a Large collatz in about 5.2 hours. Last 2 days, they've been hanging on me at 60-ish percent. See pic. I suspended Enigma and started a new task. All the while, my GPU meter reads like it has activity.

I'll be really sad if something is wrong

I get these from time to time on my 7750, 7790 and 7950 running Collatz and especially Bitcoin Utopia. The best solution I have come across (credit: Zombie67) is to use Boinc Tasks to suspend any work unit that runs past a certain amount of time... say 5 1/2 hours. Sometimes these units will complete when you suspend, let another WU run, then resume. Sometimes not, but it's usually worth a try.

It got better when I suspended Enigma. Now I took my percentage of cpus down to 85% to hopefully free up a physical core in addition to a HT core. See if this makes it run any better. I like the Boinctasks idea, gotta learn that. I'm running ghetto now with VNC into each machine.

Bitcoin Utopia is a real pain, it crashes with a windows popup that "sgminger" failing blah blah and goes stupid. Very unreliable for me but wow it pays nice when it works.

You can disable that Windows Crash pop-up so the WU simply fails, but moves on without user intervention. That's part of Windows Error Reporting.
