Since I installed the 6.10.58 BOINC manager, I have had problems with the screen saver crashing upon return to using the computer. This crash is so hard, it locks up the computer, no mouse or keyboard input makes any difference. I must hit the reset button to do a total restart.

I have the SETI@Home project as my only project. My PC is an AMD Athlon 64 2000+ CPU, 3 GB of RAM, 50 GB of available hard drive.

My video card is an ATI Radeon X700 with the ATI 8.342.0.0 driver, and the ATI Catalyst 07.02.

Operating system is Windows XP Pro SP 2.

Thanks,

Chad

Please check what the contents are of stderrscr.txt and stdoutscr.txt
You can find these files in your BOINC Data directory.

P.S: Any reason why you haven't fully updated Windows XP? It can be that you're missing (part of) a driver that's included in Service Pack 3 or later.
