I get this error during processing. If I shutdown then start it up again, it seems to continue alright though. Could someone elighten me?

There is a "graphics" bug related to running Einstein 4.79 with BOINC 4.45. It could be causing your problem. A fix is in the Beta Application (see the link under More Information on the E@H home page).
Also, have a look through a

Also, have a look through a number of recent threads like this one for instance which gives more details on the possible causes of what seems to be a number of similar problems possibly related to graphics bugs. Were you trying to display the graphics at the time by any chance?
You seem to have three more work units none of which have yet errored out but if they do, it might be wise to give the beta app a run as suggested by Stick.
Cheers,

Nick,
Exit code -164 means it got an error while in the middle of recovering from an error.
Only one result has been reported and that one shows it got an access violation (0xC0000005) at instruction address 0x013E7CE9. Thats not a standard address for anything I recognize, and knowing what module its in would help a lot.
Would you download and run Process Explorer from the SysInternals web site? You can get the modules loaded for the Einstein@Home application and find out which one is loaded at that address.
To get the information start Process Explorer. BOINC and Einstein@Home should also be running.
In the top pane, click on the Einstein application. Look at the bottom pane and make sure it shows DLL's - you'll see a "Name" column and the names will end with .dll and .nls. It it shows something else press crtl-d - hold the ctrl key down and press "d".
You'll probably have to change the display options to get the right columsn to display, so right click one of the column headers and click "Select Columns". If you don't get that selection you could also click "view" and "select columns" using the menu bar at the top.
In the "select columns" dialog switch to the DLL tab and make sure these items are checked: Description, Version, Name, Company Name, Base Address and Mapped Size. Click "OK" and check the DLL's in the lower pane. (the field "Image Base Address" isn't needed, its not the same as "base address")
In the bottom pane, look for the module that starts before the address 0x013E7CE9. Sorting by address makes it easier, click on the "Base Address" header and it'll sort by that column. Click again and it'll reverse the sort. Then just go thru the list until you see one module before that address and the next one after that address. You have to be somewhat careful, Process Explorer doesn't display leading zeros, so its easy to confuse 0x1000000 and 0x10000000. The address in Process Explorer would have only 7 hex digits (0-9 and A-F) in it, six are too low, eight is too high.
When you find it, reply here with the details it shows. Unfortunately Process Explorer doesn't let you "cut and paste" the detail line, you'll have to retype the info in the reply
If it doesn't show any module at that address, click "show graphics" in BoincMgr to get the graphics window, that'll make sure the modules related to graphics are loaded. Then look again for the module.
Thanks,
Walt
