Windows crashed with a BSOD. After successfully rebooting my SETI client shows no projects or tasks. How do I get hooked back up to SETI and get all the tasks I was working on?

Now it looks like all the tasks this computer had in its queue have been abandoned.

S*** happens.

If you cannot find the BOINC data directory, just attach again using the same email and password you used before.

The BOINC data directory is typically either:
c:\ProgramData\BOINC
OR
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC.

Note that ProgramData and Application Data are both hidden by default by Microsoft.

Windows crashed with a BSOD.

So what did it say? A Blue Screen of Death isn't something you shake off without checking upon, it must have happened for a reason. So why not check in Windows Event Viewer if there's any mention of its cause?

Or try BlueScreenView:
