Hmm, so if you put your computer into sleep or hibernation while computing CEP2 will the work unit revert to the last checkpoint as it would if the computer was completely shut down or will it remain at the current percentage?

0.0 Great! That means I *can* work on this project :D! I've switched my "shutdown" button to put the computer into hibernation mode. YES! Thanks! :D

Sometimes I've had running WCG science tasks crash immediately on resuming after hibernation, so before hibernating, I do Activity > Suspend in BOINC Manager
(You must have LAIM set).

Of course. you must remember to do Activity > Run when you resume :)

The crashes may only be a problem on overclocked machines, but keep your eyes open until you've checked that running tasks don't crash when resuming on your hardware.

BTW:
Windows seems to find many excuses to silently fail to hibernate. If you get this, check:
- that hibernation is enabled in Control Panel > Power settings
- that you have enough space on the boot partition of your disc to hold the complete uncompressed image of all of your physical RAM. Filename: hiberfil.sys (may be hidden).
- Hardware devices. If a device driver does not support hibernation properly, Windows won't even try to hibernate.
Windows 7 introduced Hybrid Sleep, which is the same as ordinary Sleep, but first backs up images of all tasks to disc. If power is lost, Windows has to start up from scratch, but it then loads & resumes the tasks. Should work for BOINC tasks. I haven't tried it - anyone??

Hello
I got that problem several times in the past and then changed the LAIM setting to yes.
Unfortunately, this does not prevent the CEP tasks to be restarted from the beginning quite often (mostly CPU overloaded, i think).
I will consider stopping CEP2 after the silver badge
