For the last two days my Boinc running Seti@home has been only processing one task at CPU + 1.0 ATI GPU like it had been. I've been running Boinc for 8 years but am a newbie to manipulating the Boinc client so be gentle with me. Can anyone help? I'm wasting so much time not getting any work done.

You do know that Seti had an extended outage, due to a memory problem in one of their servers, and that therefore until yesterday no work was going out? You also know that since it's been effectively 2 days that they had their outage, that about all the computers they got attached are now frantically trying to upload & report all their done work and getting new, thereby overloading the feeder, servers and bandwidth?

If you know all this, then the answer is simple, right? ;-)

Anyway, project problems are always best asked at the project's forums. Also always glance at their news on the front page, it'll tell a lot.

I figured something was wrong when my work was just piling up. I'll check their page, as I said I'm new to this, never really had to check pages or forums for anything. It just always worked. I just don't understand what that would have to do with my pc only using the GPU to do work and not any of my 4 cores. That is my dilemma. Why?

Most probably because it only has work downloaded for the GPU, not for the CPU. Check the BOINC Event Log for that. And if you think you must post it, please don't do it all, but only the excerpt (10 lines each side) from around the request for work and answer there to.
