How did Boing get suspended and how do I fix it?

First off, it's BOINC, with a 'C', not a 'G'.
The 'C' stands for Computing. I wouldn't want to guess what the 'G' would have to stand for. :-)

BOINC pauses at:
1. Right-click BOINC icon->Snooze (does this for 1 hour).
2. BOINC Manager->Simple View->Pause.
3. BOINC Manager->Simple View->Preferences->Do work only between the hours of X and Y.
4. BOINC Manager->Advanced View->Activity->Suspended.
5. BOINC Manager->Advanced View->Advanced->Preferences->Unchecking "While computer is in use".
6. BOINC Manager->Advanced View->Advanced->Preferences->Every day between the hours of X and Y not being equal to each other.
7. BOINC Manager->Advanced View->Advanced->Preferences->Day-of-the-week-override set.
8. Project Your Account->Computing preferences->Suspend work while computer is on battery power? (when laptop/notebook) Yes.
9. Project Your Account->Computing preferences->Suspend work while computer is in use? Yes.
10. Project Your Account->Computing preferences->Suspend work if no mouse/keyboard activity in last X minutes is set to something else than 0.0
11. Project Your Account->Computing preferences->Do work only between the hours of X and Y not being equal to each other.
12. BOINC doing benchmarks will suspend it for a minute. BOINC benchmarks itself every 5 days.

And:
1. BOINC Manager->Advanced View->Tasks tab->Any task selected and set to Suspend. The Status column shows what was done. Suspend button will have change to Resume button.
2. BOINC Manager->Advanced View->Projects tab->Any project selected and set to Suspend. The Status column shows what was done. Suspend button will have change to Resume button.
3. Any error message showing problems with Waiting for Memory and Out of disk space.
4. Account Manager problems.
5. Not attached to any projects.
6. No work from any project eligible to get work.

That would be 'Gomputing' the Saxon version of 'Computing' :-)

For some kinds of suspending, the reason is told in the log, e.g.

21/10/2009 14:00:01||Suspending computation - time of day
