A few days ago my recent average credit dropped massively (by a couple thousand) and I am having trouble finding a solution. Other users still have high numbers, and many have surpassed me, so it seems to be individual to my computer. Strangely, the windows taskmanager displays that I am using 100% of my cpu though I'm sure I'm not due to my RAC change, and because RealTemp only shows me using about 66% of my cpu. I'm stumped.

Windows seems to be giving the wrong indication of cpu load to BOINC, and BOINC is limiting itself according. I proved this using Prime95, though the task manager still indicated 100% load, as it had while under load from BOINC, my cpu temps went up, and RealTemp indicated a full 100% load instead of a 66% load.

The project I am on is Docking@home. I'm running Windows 7 on an Intel i7 920 clocked to 3.8ghz (don't worry, its stable, I've got a massive cooler on it and have been running it at 3.8-4.0ghz for months).

Here's a screenshot to demonstrate:
