Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo) 1.34 (opencl-intel_gpu) Mis

All those errors are from the Intel GPU app and the actual error is:
(unknown error) - exit code -1073741819 (0xc0000005)

What version is the Intel graphics driver?
If it's equal to or greater then 10.18.10.3345 then downgrade the driver to 9.18.10.3257. The driver can be downloaded from intel.com, look under Menu -> Support -> Downloads and drivers.

See the following threads for more info on this problem:

Don't use Windows update: go directly to the intel.com website that Holmis linked, and download the driver from there. Double-check that you are downloading the right one for your version of Windows.

If you want to use hardware

If you want to use hardware for anything more than it's basic function don't use the drivers from windows update, they almost always lack the extras needed for fully utilizing the hardware. In this case they lack the OpenCL part of the driver. If you download the driver directly from the hardware manufacturer you get all necessary parts.

Resuming all problems for

Resuming all problems for now: Binary Radio Pulsar Search opencl-intel_gpu gives miscalculation because the last update of the driver doesn't work correctly, when I try to downgrade it from the intel page there's a window that says "This driver is not suitable for your system, contact your system manufacturer for the latest driver version" and don't let me instal it. I cheked five times that is the correct version for my system. What can I do now? I'm not earnig credits from this project because this problem...

This problem sounds a lot like the issue with Dell machines a while back:

I don't know if you have a Dell machine or if Dell have finally upgraded their drivers but for some people upgrading their drivers directly from Intel is not an option.

Then try to go to your

Then try to go to your computer manufacturers website and search for drivers for your specific computer model, if there are an older Intel HD graphics driver available for download try that. It should be a driver that starts with 9.xx and not 10.xx for it to work with Einstein, I'm using v. 9.18.10.3257 successfully. Hopefully your computer manufacturer has not crippled the OpenCL support in their version of the driver.

If that does not work then the final option is do disable use of the Intel GPU in the Einstein@home preferences and choose to run on of the other searches available.

It seems that the manufacturer's website does not offer driver downloads. I should unable Intel GPU use on settings
