When trying to suspend GPU usage in BOINC 6.12.33(x86) under Win 7(32) the screen blanks for a couple of seconds and then a baloon appears saying that Nvidia driver 280.26 has been restarted. Everything else is OK, GPU app is stopping correctly and can be resumed. Didn't try to use different versions of BOINC, but it seems that it begins with a driver update from 275.xx
Did anybody seen something similar?

Yes, both the cause and the solution are known - follow the links in message 113544. Unfortunately, we have to wait until Einstein can make some minor changes in the application and re-release it - they're a bit busy with other matters, like hosting the BOINC workshop, just at the moment.
