Dropping BHspin from my list.
Hopefully there are other tasks out there.
It's killing my other projects all my stats are going down fast.

Some BHspin V2 units are showing remaining times to be 1d 4hrs to 1d 6hrs to run, while others show the usual 5 to 7 hrs to process.

What's up with these long runs?

Boinc Manager is used in the following manner to shut down: Shut down connected client and after confirming the various message boxes, the client shuts down. Then I use Exit Boinc and exit the program. So no, your theory is not what I mean.

mmnonnin is more or less correct. After Boinc is shut down and exited, BH Spin tasks remain crunching outside of BOINC. I have to go into Windows Task Manager and kill them manually to get the load of my CPU so I can cool my system before shutting down for the night.

I thought they were a cause of excessive memory usage, but that seemed to be a BIOS/MOBO issue. Since the update, memory usage is down. Just to give myself more space in the memory I added another stick of 8 GB which was not cheap. Dang Bitcoin miners!

BIOS update solved the above problem of memory usage and system lock.
There was a stability issue that was corrected with this last update.
Memory usage is way down now and even though BH -spin tasks stay working after BOINC manager quits, its not a real problem.

I'm going to have to check if this work properly within BOINC. If not then I have to explore what I can still do for universe at home outside of those tasks. If nothing then I have to leave. Because my system is getting bogged down by something in BOINC and I have not monitored it other than at shut down. Talking about locking my system to the point where I have to hard reboot.

I'm getting the same thing now for the last few weeks.
I log out of the client or however you want to call it and then exit BOINC via the menu.
When I go to cool down my system for the night before shutting down I notice it is not cooling off.
I check task manager and I have one or two BHspin tasks still running despite BOINC manager not running and the local client being logged out.

How the heck can tasks still run without BOINC manager? I thought that was needed?
