If I have tasks running and try to restart my system, it will hang for a couple minutes then blue screen. If I suspend all the tasks first or exit the manager, the system restarts normally. This behaviour started after the latest upgrade to Boinc. Has anyone else seen this? ID: 14006 ·

If it is suspended on restart, but then you start boinc running after a while, is it OK, or does it crash again? ID: 14009 ·

It might be overheating. If it is suspended on restart, but then you start boinc running after a while, is it OK, or does it crash again? I'm new to Vista, how can you determine the CPU temps? Boinc has never crashed my system (Dell Inspiron E1705, Intel dual core, 4GB RAM) until I try to shutdown or restart. During the shutdown/restart process is when it hangs then blue screens but only if tasks are running in the boinc manager. ID: 14038 ·

No version of Windows has ever included any tool to see system temperatures. Try SpeedFan (click on the "The latest version is SpeedFan 4.33" link). ID: 14051 ·
