Hi,
I'm new on S@H project (and my English is not too good, huh) :)
Problem: I have many (about 2 hundreds) WU's waiting to process (status: 'waiting'). My GPU (GT250) is not working, because computer is in use (when idle, GPU works fine, it's not problem).
But, why CPU doesn't process any WU's??
BOINC version: newest (6.10.37), Win7 x64, Core i5 750, GT250 512MB).

Hi, welcome to SETI@home, did you look at your account, some settings needs to be adjusted, f.i. you CPU is set to only use 25%, of it's capacity by default, if you want no limit, just fill in "0".
Settings in your BOINC manager can override these WEB/account-settings.

That's because you only have CUDA tasks downloaded. I don't know why, but it might be a problem with your BOINC version (6.10.37 is no longer recommended).

Perhaps a temporary workaround would be to disable CUDA tasks in your online SETI@home preferences.
