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. ![]() |

Hmm never heard any reports of this.
----------------------------------------What is the boinc version, I would reinstall BOINC 7.0.64 in the machine where this occurred. Also, what was the browser? AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz [Edit 1 times, last edit by Falconet at Feb 16, 2014 5:22:24 PM] |

This might be a shot in the dark, but it could merely be a keyboard problem. Try a different keyboard.
