They do try to balance the points/time but in reality there are some projects which run more efficiently than others. My farm can fluctuate from 26K to 34K depending on projects (i cycle through them nowadays)

1. Check Free-DC machine stats to figure out which computer is causing the drop.
2. Check BOINC log. (Advanced->Event Log or Ctrl-Shift-E) Look for error messages or other strange notifications.
3. Check projects on the WCG site. I'd suggest running multiple ones, single projects can run out of work occasionally.
4. Reboot your cruncher.
5. Rebenchmark CPU from within BOINC.
6. Reset the project from within BOINC.
7. Reinstall BOINC.
Thanks guys. I think running the bench's is a good idea. I'l try that first then I'll try the 7 step program.
