3 of 4 cores seem to be fine. The other one is spending 3 seconds on a WU and then ending & uploading it... over and over. I'm running v7.0.64 of the BOINC manager... just updated today. Win 8 on an i5-3330 with 8gb ram and nothing else of significance running. I've tried rebooting and changing the projects I want worked on and it's still just mowing through WUs for different subprojects every 3 seconds. This happening to anyone else?

Go to the site, login, and check your computer's tasks. Maybe, they get errors for that core. Check a few tasks for the WUs.

I tried several things but eventually resorted to uninstalling and reinstalling the BOINC software. That seemed to do the trick... not sure why, because I was on the current release.
