When running three work units on the computer I have had work units that never end (10+ hours and stuck on 1 second to complete). Shut down the computer and restarted and work unit got submitted. Now I have three work units that instead of taking just over 2 hours are now at 3 plus hours and 1 hour to go. Held the jobs and rebooted. Work units went back to zero work done. Laptop is quad core with hyperthreading. Only allowing 3 work units at a time and this happens. A fourth unit can start and finish without problems. Summary of problems: 1.) work unit seems to go into a forever loop and never finish. 2.) Pausing work unit and shutting down computer does not work and all work done is lost.

Those tasks are probably broken. You can abort them and see if other tasks will run like they should.

This might be the same issue: Work unit 96813621 put no load on my GPU at all. I aborted it after a reboot failed to solve the issue. Also, someone else crunched this work unit on a CPU, and the work unit timed out as seen in https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/result.php?resultid=225982292. My result was at https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/result.php?resultid=226803514.
