I am having a problem with PC locking up while running Einstein @home as of 14 Aug 06. Prior to the download, einstein was running fine on BOINC 5.2.? I did some troubleshooting and confirmed it was only Einstein as the problem by suspending Einstein and running SETI only for one day with no problems. I then resumed Einstein only to have it lock up in about 30 minutes. I then detached from Einstein and d/l BOINC 5.4.11 with the new Einstein @home client.
After all that I reattached and started processing when i locked up again after about 25 minutes.
I am running Windows 2k Pro SP4, with an AMD Athlon 2200 processor, 512 MB RAM, and a NVidia GeForce 2MX video card.
Thoughts?
If you disable the screensaver, does it still lock up?

Does it work when you run Einstein@Home without graphics (i.e. when you set your screensaver to "Blank" or "None" and watch the progress in the BOINC Manager)? Does it instantly hang when you mark the running Task and press the "Show graphics" button in the Manager?
Our graphics code hasn't changed for years, but we are linking a newer version of BOINC with the new 4.24 App. If the graphics is the problem, would you give it a try and update your graphics driver?
