Mine seems to be locking up since Friday 4/22/16. I run both SETI and Rosetta but each time it's locked up, it's been stuck on Rosetta. It's running on an XP machine so I don't know if that's the issue. System logs don't show anything other than events stop happening. I've already uninstalled as well as completely wipe the BOINC folder then reinstalled. I have noticed in Task Manager that Minirosetta has recently been starting itself when I've been using the computer despite my preferences.

Since I haven't seen any other entries on the BOINC/SETI/Rosetta board, I presume that it is this computer or XP. As it stands, I'm going to remove BOINC for awhile since the issues with it just turning itself on while the computer is in use as well as it locking up have become too much to ignore. However, if this is happening to anyone else and they worked around it, feel free to post. I also wasn't sure which thread to post this in so I posted it in the top 2 threads concerning technical problems.

Does the SETI@HOME work use a graphics card with an Nvidia GPU? If so, the 364.* series of drivers for Nvidia GPUs has problems, so you might want to check whether going back to the 362.00 driver fixes any problems for you.

It does but, as it's a 9600GT, the highest driver is a 340.22. As I was running 337.88, I updated and then tried again. It has now outright crashed twice when I was running other programs. (Starcraft 2 when I was redoing graphics settings and SWTOR just now.) Because both crashes completely locked up the system to the point of needing a reboot, I couldn't check task manager to see if Minirosetta had started itself again. Reviewing the logs under admin tools didn't show me anything either.

I've uninstalled BOINC again and I'm just going to run this computer as normal for the next two days. If it crashes again during that time, then I'll know that it's something else wrong with the computer. If it doesn't, then I'm probably going to lean towards it being an XP/older graphics card conflict with BOINC.
