Sometimes, when I leave my computers to crunch, application suddenly stops crunching. Still, BOINC says that application is running. Windows Task Manager shows CPU usage to be almost 0% and I cannot see the graphics, although I click the 'Show graphics'-button. This happens at least with BOINC 5.5.10. I have two computers and this happens on both of them. What is wrong?

BOINC 5.5.x is always an ALPHA version of BOINC. If you aren't testing BOINC, go with the normal version, recognized by the even middle number. If the middle number is odd, it's a testing version, which will have lots of bugs.

And so you ran into a big bug of 5.5.10, which is fixed in 5.5.11. 5.5.11 has its own bugs. And unless you are truely alpha testing these builds, you shouldn't put them on all your machines. If you do find bugs, you report them to the BOINC Alpha email list.

5.5.11 does not seem to have that bug. :)
