I have a WU that is 100% complete with zero time remaining, yet it keeps running, its elapsed (23+hours); MSI Afterburner is showing GPU underload, I'm fairly certain its defiantly crunching something. Should I delete it, or let it keep working? Did I find something important? The Normal run time for a WU is about 75min. I'll keep it suspended until further notice, fyi having a WU suspended interrupts the flow of work.

I'm running windows 10, Boinc ver 7.16.11 X64 on AMD 3900xt with Radeon RX 580

Hi, if you ever see a task/WU like that, please terminate it or close BOINC and reload as this often occurs when a GPU is unstable, a driver bug is encountered or there are resource clashes leading to kaktwoos just stalling and/or BOINC not getting the message it's done. Normally if a progress update hasn't been submitted in the expected time, BOINC will report a compute error, but this isn't reliable and we've had to make it rather long so real tasks don't get killed off (as when we tried to adjust the initial run-time estimates and bounds).
