This morning I woke up to find my Windows 8 gaming machine, that runs BOINC, was hung up chasing a binary rabbit that kept firing off a new browser tab to this URL: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Advanced_view.

Rebooting my machine seem to fix the problem, but 5 minutes later it started again. Attempts to do a normal shutdown through the keyboard failed and I had to do a cold restart. If I didn't log into my computer right away I would not be able to log in after 5 minutes because the "ALT" key seemed to be always down. I was finally able to get into my machine by disabling my network router and access the resource manager. I shut down all of BOINC and any modules that had fired off and the system began to run normally. I have since uninstalled WorldCommunityGrid from my gaming machine. I now will start removing it from my work machines as well. I can't have BOINC preventing me from using my workstations.

Sorry all, it looks like I'm out of this project for the duration.
