I recently upgraded to a 64x2 and am running the AMD Cool'N'Quiet power management utility. I have had the system lock up in the screen saver. I found that when BOINC (running SETI) runs, it does not cause the Cool'N'Quiet utility to kick up the CPU voltage, which I assume is causing the crashes. When I run the BOINC benchmark utility, it does rev up the CPU.

This must be a bug in BOINC. Anybody else seeing this problem ?

Or a bug in cool 'n' quiet more than likely. Shouldn't you expect Cool'n'Quiet to be a little more aware of what's going on?

I have a couple of Athlon64 machines with Cool'n'Quiet running BOINC but I don't use the screensaver. I've not seen an issue when it's just running as a service.
Wonder if the issue is that BOINC runs at the lowest priority... C'n'Q might not be noticing it kick in because the priority is set so low (just a guess)
