There is a large queue of workunits waiting for validation.
It is likely that your work is sitting in that queue.
Just wait a bit and you will recieve credit and your Rac will go up again.

That explains a lot, but can someone explain briefly how RACs increase/decrease again? Being a noob, i assume its the total credits/amount of workunits done, is that assumption correct?

Thanks.

RAC is affected by many factors. The best place to look for a simple explanation is probably the Unofficial BOINC Wiki. RAC is explained here.

If you have a question which is not specific to Windows, you may get a quicker reply in the Number crunching forum.

Actually, no, itis not credits/work units. It is the amount of credit that your computer has earned per unit time (I don't know the units). It is calculated as an exponentially reducing average with a half life of 2 weeks. The calculation is very time sensitive, and since many results are backed up in the validation queue, when they do all get credit, there will be a spike in your (and everyone elses) RAC which will take a while to decay back to normal.
