When issueing the command "boinccmd --quit" I have found that on 2 of 3 systems, I get an nvidia driver reset. About every 1 of 5 resets I get a Win7 BSOD.

I assume this is a problem with the driver version 285. However, I notice that if I bring up an "exclusive app" that I can stop the GPU programs and they restart when the "exclusive app" terminates. This is the way it should be and there is no nvidia driver reset. However, I am wondering if when boinccmd sees the --quit command if it could pause (or whatever) the gpu tasks and then wait a few seconds before doing the remainder of whatever it does when the --quit command is finally processed. Maybe this could mitigate the driver problem.
