I run BOINC, 24/7, both on my PC and my Notebook, which I just had re-built with a 1TB hard drive, so I haven't had this problem yet (maybe).

My PC (contains 2x250GB hard drives), occasionally locks up, when I move the mouse, when I try to take control of my PC again, after running BOINC. But, even then it still takes about five minutes, for me to regain possession of my PC again, it being in a locked-up state.

Does anybody know, how I can stop my PC locking up - run less projects, or change some settings?

Mind passing by on https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=8600 and give a tiny bit more detail, please?
