When pausing my GTX 560 Ti after it's been folding for around 7 hours, graphics seem to lock up. Yesterday my mouse pointer still moved but nothing else would respond while today, not even my mouse would move. The system doesn't seem to lock up as far as I'm aware since the 9800GT Eco I have folding can still be heard folding (it makes that high pitched squeal, so it's easy to tell if that card is folding or not).
I have Aero in composite mode (aka non-basic) and I'm running the 305.67 OpenGL 4.3 beta driver.
Any ideas as to why pausing the 560 Ti is causing my graphics to hard lock?

Re: Pausing GTX 560 Ti causes graphics lock-up
I don't see anything wrong in the log other than there is nothing in the log after the second pause (The entire computer crashed?). The first pause, was unpaused just fine, so obviously it does not happen every time. Anything more that you can tell me to enlighten?

Sometimes it does pause perfectly fine, as it has today. I did upgrade my driver to 306.63 yesterday, hopefully that helps.

Re: Pausing GTX 560 Ti causes graphics lock-up
I'd actually suggest that you spend some time (at least one pass, but overnight would be bettter) running MemTest86+. Invariably, when you pause and/or unpause there is a bunch of processes that will be changing their memory footprint. It is just speculation but when peculiar things start happening, a RAM problem is one of the things I will test first.
