Yesterday I installed 7.0.25 and began running Einstein@Home. Up until that time I had only been running seti@home without issue.

Since yesterdays changes I have had 3 major crashes (wipes of all applications) running in the task manager. Applications including control over the desktop just suddenly and silently terminate, requiring me to reboot the machine.

I am running a Win7 64 bit, 40% use of processors and do not allow use of GPU.

The problem is definetly associated with either Einstein or v7.0.25, or the combination.

Is anyone else having these types of issues? I do not look forward to troubleshooting this.

Also, does anybody know how I can downgrade back to version 6. I know I will lose some stuff, but at least it worked without issue.

Thanks.

From Jords Boinc 7 FAQ

Returning to BOINC 6
Due to changes to how BOINC 7 writes details about work to the client-state.xml file, you can't easily return to BOINC 6 when BOINC 7 has run on your system. Not without you having made an earlier backup of the data directory, and even then it'll be troublesome. Any work you have gotten since you ran 7.0, will be 'lost' when you return to 6. Only projects that have "resend lost tasks" on will resend them to you, but not all projects do this due to the severe strain on the database. (Only Seti and Einstein have it on, I think).

So here's what you can do to return to BOINC 6 in an easier manner:
- Set No new tasks on all your projects, run all the work to completion, upload & report it.
- Uninstall BOINC.
- Go to the data directory and remove the client_state.xml and client_state_prev.xml files.
- Install BOINC 6.xx, whichever flavor you liked.
- Run that.
(- Set Allow new tasks on all your projects.)

That's all.
