Since it seems that the only thing that could be causing all of the BSOD I get when I run CUDA and BOINC and SETI I want to try an earlier version of BOINC. I don't want to loose all my work units tho.

Can someone please instruct me how to save my current WU and get them running again under an earlier version of boinc.

I'm running windows 7 x64 enterprise.

Thanks

Adam

You can always make a full Copy of your BOINC Data Folder, install
the older Version over the current Installation, disconnect from the
Internet and try it. If something goes wrong you can use your Copy again...

Try turning off hyperthreading. It worked for me.
