Running BOINC on an ASUS Vista Home premium SP1. Runs fine, but even though I can pause BOINC or it recognizes user activity and pauses my computer is hosed from that point on and I have to reboot. Computer is fine again until after BOINC runs for awhile.

What info is needed?

ASUS G1
intel core 2 duo T7700 @2.4ghz
3 GB ram
32 bit.


Running more tests, disable power save and screen saver to see if they are helping the problems along...

What do you mean with 'my computer is hosed'? Does it hang? Is it slow?
If it hangs or becomes unbearably slow, check that you have all your chip set drivers installed. Perhaps your HDD forgets what it was connect to and at what speed.

By hosed, really slow, can't load any programs or shutdown. But not frozen. mouse and keyboard OK.

Disabling the screensaver took care of the problem. Any ideas?
