    I have noticed that any time I put my Macbook Pro to sleep or connect/disconnect an external display, it results in a computation error on the work unit that I am currently working on.

    I'm running Mac OS X 10.8.2 on a late-2011 MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM and an AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB.

    Any solutions for this?

      The error you get seems to indicate that the task corrupts in memory, or that your memory corrupts. The easiest way to solve this is to stop, suspend or snooze BOINC, before you invoke computer sleep or hibernate.

      If your computer goes to sleep at specific times, you can set BOINC up to suspend doing work minutes prior to that, then the computer can go to sleep at ease without working corrupting.
