I am experiencing frequent system crashes when I need to access my system, Musimatch is playing and the BOINC/Einstein@Home screensaver come on and run for more than a few minutes.

SETI, LHC and ClimatePrediction do not cause similar problems.

Bug in BOINC/Einstein@Home Screensaver

Are you using the 0.03 or 0.18 beta application for Einstein@Home?

If you are, have you tried updating your videocard drivers? Since the error I see in the only unit showing that has errored out, is "Incorrect function. (0x1) - exit code 1 (0x1)". See the Boinc Wiki on that. And update your videocard drivers.

If you weren't using the beta EAH application yet, then look here for how to get it.

There is a known "graphics" bug related to running Einstein 4.79 with BOINC 4.45. It could be causing your problem. A fix is in the Beta Application (see the link under More Information on the E@H home page).
