      Open BOINC Manager->Advanced view->Advanced->Preferences->change the line While processor usage is less than 25 percent to 0 percent (zero)->click OK.

      This will enable the BOINC override preferences (as long as BOINC is set to run based on preferences).

      If you do not want to use it through the override preferences, change your Seti computing preferences for the line of Suspend work if CPU usage is above 25% to 0% (zero), save the changes to the web site, then open BOINC Manager->Advanced view->Tasks tab->Select Seti->Click Update.

      This feature isn't for everyone who has been using BOINC for ages and are running it 24/7 without looking at it much.

      It's built in for completely new people, people who were complaining that despite BOINC's applications running on the lowest possible priority, it taking up CPU cycles that would slow down their computer.

      These people would complain about that, uninstall, leave and tell other potential crunchers negative things about BOINC. It's added to help those people, for if they come back, to see that even they are listened to.

      You can easily disable the function by setting its value to zero.


      The feature checks the amount of CPU cycles that non-BOINC programs are using and will suspend BOINC completely when the CPU cycles of any program reaches the threshold. Non-BOINC programs are any programs that run outside of BOINC (so not boinc.exe, boincmgr.exe or any project science applications executables).

          You can also make this setting on Collatz if you don't have a SaH account.
