Hi, I have been away from the SETI@Home project for many years, and decided to get back into it. Since Downloading BOINC, my computer has been shutting off. This problem does not happen when the program is not active and running. When I shut the program off, my computer stays on.

I am wondering what if anything I need to do. Reinstall the program, change a few settings what?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

It's most likely insufficient cooling, or a power supply problem.
Try taking the side off of the case, and put a small desktop fan there. If things tsay good, it's a cooling issue, if not the next step is to check the power supply- the usual method being to substitute the suspect one with a unit that is known to be good. If you have a multimeter you could check the rails yourself to see of the regulation is failing under load.
