I had twice a problem with two computer.

These computers crashed, and when they restart, the WUs were being repeated from the beginning!

Two were at 97%, and the other one, i don't saw when the computer crashed, but when Boinc restart, the CPU time was at 20 minutes, and the progress bar start at 0%.

I don't understand why these WUs are restarting from the beginning.

Those WUs are
67203
65187
and the last one is crunching on another host.

As you can see CPU time is the double as usually for this host

edit: another problem with a WU.
This one, the progress bar and the time aren't progress anymore!
Even if i suspend and restart the WU.
I had to cancel this WU.

It seems odd that 2 of your machines are affected. Otherwise I'd speculate that the PC-crash coincided with wirting the checkpoint to disk and thus the checkpoint file became corruted. Could be a dying hdd or board or something else. But on 2 PCs at the same time? Unlikely.

on mine, when my PC locked up (as oppose to crashing and restarting), the WU errored out. It also errored out when I updated the video drivers and restarted. Im running server 2008 x64 with BOINC 6.3.10 x64
