im stuck on benchmarking any help?

When it loads up, my computer freezes on the "benchmarking" stage in folding, it just stays there. I tried getting rid of the core and I restarted the thing and it downloaded another one, but that didnt do anything. Do I have to wipe out the whole thing?

Thanks

Is your system stable? Can you run Prime95 torture test for 8+ hours with no errors? Just an idea.

Happened to me once. Turned out my old 2GB HDD was not reliable enough for running Windows. I wound up running Overclockix instead and used the HDD for a persistent home.

Ok guys, I fixed it! Thanks for your suggestions, but yep, my comp is stable, it turned out to be the clock. Somehow my system clock got set to 2131 or something and that just screwed a bunch of stuff up. I set it to 2004 and it works, just to test that theory, I set it back to 2131, and it messed it up again, so anyways, if you see anyone else having this problem, wouldnt hurt to tell them to check their system clock.
