Just noticed today that F@H has started to hang. I tired restarting it, but it eventually hangs. I then deleted the work folder and started again, but then it hangs again. (Done this twice and on the second time went for -smp 32) Once when HFM said it was hung I left it alone for over an hour and it then came back with the tpf jumping from 15m to 57m.

I dont think it is your machine scorp, I have looked into it, looks like a bug in FahCore_a3 and _a5 causes this problem but. Only thing you can do is try new workunits as you have been doing, one of my machines went haywire the other day for the first time so there may be some dodgy work units out there.
Cheers. I think I've picked up a workable unit. Seems to be progressing ok at about 17m TPF. A tad slower than normal.
