Hey, I'm new to this and I think I have an issue. One of my GPUs have been working on project 14310 and it seems suck at 99.99%. It's been like this for about 12 or so hours now.

[i am just a user like you and have no special knowledge of F@H. But I slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night]
As a guess, Windows crashed and the Folding@Home software just does not know it. (It wold be in the Event Viewer if you were curious) I would reboot and get another Work Unit.
If it re-occurs, we will have to use Event Viewer to find out what Windows hates.

There is a known bug for some posible crashes that I do not fully understand. If the FAHCore crashes, the FAHClient is supposed to notice it's not running and to take corrective action, but it doesn't always. Sometimes FAHClient keeps recording increaseing estimated completion values until that number reaches 99.99$ You can examine the log and genrally find the conditions of the undetected crash, When you notice the problem there will be a checkpoint file that was written before the crash and FAH can resume processing from that point.
Please report any information you discover, as it might help Development identify and fix the bug.

Thanks for the info guys. I updated and restarted my PC and the project seems to have resumed and working fine for now. But I will keep an eye on the logs and submit them if it happens again.
