I'm at my wit's end. I just installed the latest BOINC for Mac (v7.6.34 v3) and I can't get rid of an error message that says: << BOINC suspended; CPU busy.>> I'm running El Capitan on an iMac. I have been running SETI@Home on BOINC without any problems for years -- until the current file that seems to refuse to do anything further. This has been going on with a file I got in January, roughly 2 hours into the file. It has about 59 mins. remaining to finish the calculations. The file was due back in March. It's now May. The file won't finish and it won't delete itself and give me a new file. My Preferences do not request that BOINC be suspended for any reason. How do I overcome this obstacle? Thanks much.

What have you tried so far? Have you looked at the settings for when and when not to compute? Give us more info, maybe someone can help.

Also, another strategy is to ditch the task or maybe even uninstall and reinstall, maybe with a new account... ya know, start fresh.
