Hi,
i have upgraded my PC to Debian 7 wheezy, and i have installed the nvidia proprietary driver for GTX 560.

After this, all WU start correctly, but if they are suspended fail to restart with this output:

<core_client_version>7.0.27</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[

Hello: Have you checked that is not marked - Leave aplicacionbes in memory to adjourn - usually cause problems. Greetings.

Marco, I agree that LAIM should be on and use GPU when system is in use should also be on.
What driver is it and are the recommended lib files installed?

Don't know all the details, but I suggest you do two things,
Use fan control settings to set the fan speed and reduce the GPU temperature.
Don't use all 8 CPU threads to crunch on, use 7 at most.
The following FAQ might help,

"Leave applications in memory" should not apply to GPU tasks anyway, they're always exited to avoid problems. But the driver version could cause such issues.

I suspended the project until the release of a new version of the driver...

Is this maybe related to this problem?

Possibly the same thing that is triggering the driver restart issue on Windows but the Win phenomenon seen from Vista onwards is WDDM related. Marco is using Linux - Debian 7 wheezy. Don't know what driver he is using on his system, as its not reported on Linux rigs.

My guess is missing libs, bad driver or an upgrade issue (but from what to what I don't know, possibly to 7.1 as it came out 15th June).
The SIGSEGV: segmentation violation suggests an access/security issue but it could be lots of things causing this, including hardware. Might be worth checking the user and Boinc has the correct folder security (read and write).
