So my first pass at GeekBench Stress Test ran about 10+ hours and stopped consuming CPU, just stuck on 10+ hours time.

I restarted it, it's clock says 3 hours 15 minutes 18 seconds and isn't counting up, and Activity Monitor says it's only consuming about 100% of CPU (of the normal 400%).

Avg score 7198
Top score 7976
Latest score 6996

It's a MacBook Pro, so I'm expecting some CPU throttling, but I'm not expecting it to stop running, is that software or hardware?

MacBook Pro 13", Early 2011 (MacBookPro8,1)
OSX 10.8.4, new install
2.7GHz i7 (2 cores, 4 threads)
16G DDR3-1333

    I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We've been quite busy with the release of Geekbench 3.

    I don't think this is a hardware issue. I think this is a bug in Geekbench 2. When you see the processor utilization at 100% instead of 400% can you see which executable is using the processor? Is it "Geekbench" or "geekbench_x86_32"?

    Also, are there any Geekbench crash logs on your system? Crash logs are located in the Library folder. To locate the Library folder, choose 'Go to Folder' from Finder’s 'Go' menu and type:

    ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/
    

    Please send us any files in that directory that have Geekbench (or geekbench) in the filename.

    Thanks,
    John
