The screensaver screen says after a couple of minutes of running the task (there is some graphics for some time the screensaver is running):
No running tasks
Computing suspended while computer not in use

But the computer seems idle and the preferences say:
Suspend when computer is in use: [b]NO[/b]


BOINC 7.6.33 (x64)

Actually, I think this condition is met when you set Suspend when no mouse/keyboard input in last N minutes via the web site preferences.
Even if you use local preferences, those preferences that are set via the web site and are not in the local preferences - like this one - will not be overridden and thus stay in effect.

Else check which preferences you use, local or from the web site. It'll show that at the top on the local Computing Preferences window.
