Has anything, hardware or software, changed on that PC since the last time that things were working well?

Nope. System has run in current config for about a year.

The only recent thing was a run of IOLO Technologies System Mechanic. It is possible the automatic cleanup may have removed something essential to CPDN. If that is the case, I should be able to stop BOINC, DL and install the latest vers, and restart.

I'll do this and report shortly.

Well, that was er, interesting.
I could not kill the BOINC app with the process manager. Despite showing the icon gone, the CPU remained at 100%. So I rebooted, waited while the system ran Chkdsk on C:, unfortunately a large disk. It finished before I got too hungry. :-}
Upon reboot, BOINC came up completely normally!

Apparently, the reboot required by IOLO SM was somehow holding the CPU test from completing. Darned if I have a clue how. But all's well that ends.
