My Boinc (6.10.58) screensaver may be causing my computer to ocassionally reboot. I turned the Boinc screensaver off, using a different screensaver instead. The computer has not rebooted since (4 days). Is there a error log that would tell me if the Boinc screensaver is the culprit and which graphics file might be causing the problem? Or if another program is the cause. I am using WIN XP Pro 32, a nvidia 8600GTS (256m) video card and 4 gig of ram. Any suggestions?

Are you using your GPU for CUDA computations at any project?

Hi, just wondered if theres an answer to this problem as the BOINC screensaver keeps shutting down my computer as well. Screensaver works in preview. Right click desktop, properties, screensaver, BOINC, preview.
