my cpu shows little to no activity, 0-3%. AMD 6100 @4.0ghz. I appreciate your help. I think it's something with this pc. about a month ago a brown out started the problems. After that it would open the wallet and started from the beginning, after 3 hrs or so the pc would blue screen and restart. I replaced the power supply and ram, that fixed the blue screen but wallet would not load. I deleted all the wallet files, reload 11.1 and added a backup wallet.dat file, after a day that fixed it. I decided to shut down the system when I didn't need it which worked for 2 weeks or so until 2 days ago. Not sure what now, but I have another pc with this wallet that did comeplete and is up to date, but I have all my stuff on this one and don't really want to change. Oh, I also earlier today when I ran the other one and it finished, I sent my bitcoins to my other pc with an electrum wallet. I just hate to have to switch out my favorite pc, Guess shit happens...............Thanks
If the machine is in the same network you can rule out that its a network issue.
#1 boot both machines
#2 start core on the machine you know its working, lets call it A
#3 figure out the IP of A. Lets say its 10.0.0.1
#4 let A sync
#5 start core on the machine with the issues (B), but add
-connect=10.0.0.1 as a start parameter, e.g. on Windows hit Win + R to open the run menu and enter
c:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe -connect=10.0.0.1
Now B will connect to A and only A. If its still not syncing over a LAN its a problem with the machine. If its syncing just fine, it was a problem with the peers you connected to.
