Intel iMac - Screensaver and Energy Setting

(moderation:
I think this is probably an OS X issue, not necessarily an Intel iMac issue...here's what happens:
1. Per my screensaver settings, BOINC starts after 5 mins of inactivity;
2. After 30 mins, the monitor screen turns off (energy saver setting), apparently turning off the screensaver;
3. Computations stop after the screen turns off.
Anyone know a way around this? I want to keep my monitor settings so it turns off after a period of inactivity, but also want the computations to continue from screensaver mode! I know you can run the BOINC program in the background all the time as well.
Thanks!

Make sure that your energy saver settings are not set to put the computer to sleep after some period of inactivity. That's the only thing I can think of that would cause this, unless you've got BOINC set not to do work between certain hours.
