Sometimes I see WUs stuck and they keep running for hours on end. I have to manually abort them. I know some WUs are longer than others, but hese WUs can run for 12 hours or more with only 80% completion. I'm running 3 WUs on a HD 6850, using anonymous platform from Lunatics using latest ATI drivers.

Anybody else have the same problem?

I had the same problem when using Lunatics ATI. The last was maybe 2 weeks ago.
But I didn't abort them, I just stopped their execution, then resumed. So you don't loose all the elapsed time, only a part of it. This works also!
Observation: Some seconds after resuming both - elapsed and remaining time - were modified i.e. became much smaller and then the WU was finished normally.

Have you freed a CPU core ?
Its very important especially with a AMD CPU.

I did just before posting this thread. Didn't think freeing up a CPU was necessary due to the low CPU allocation BOINC gives to these WUs (about 0.04).

I'll try suspending/resuming like Mike suggested next time. Hopefully the freeing of a core will fix the issue.

freeing up a cpu core or 2 will allow the GPU to freely load the tasks which will more than make up for the idle CPU cores

Still getting these stuck WUs, the last ones were around 50% completion after 15 hours! I just suspended these.

Check in system log if you had videodriver restarts recently.
