See the stderr output of the results you reported. This is a "general access violation" (code 0xc0000005), which can have many reasons. By far the most common is a graphics driver that crashes when Einstein@Home is trying to show its graphics (screensaver).

When you get new work and have an Einstein@Home task running, mark it (in the "Tasks" tab of the manager) and click "show graphics". If it gives a client error immediately, this is most likely the problem. A short term solution would be to disable the screensaver (or set it to some other than the BOINC saver) (and of course don't touch the "show graphics" anymore), in the longer term I would suggest to update your graphics card driver.

There is a small chance that something else is broken, e.g. a file of the project (in this case resetting the project would help), a bad memory or CPU that gets too hot sometimes. If it's not the graphics driver as mentioned above, check your hardware.
