So you've booted three times in a row?

When BOINC came up at ~7:05 this was your third attempt, correct?
And you've shutdown at ~9:20?

It's likely that the error which gets displayed in ~/.xsession-errors
prevents BOINC already from logging anything.

When this happens again, please do not reboot, but do the following:
% sudo -i
% cd /var/lib/boinc-client
% ls -lt | head

This should give you a list of the least recently changed files.
Please paste this, and inspect the least recently changed ones -
hopefully those are logfiles.

You could also try enabling apport (/etc/default/apport) and look for a
crash file in /var/crash.
Unfortunately, apport won't let you report this directly to Launchpad
(because the package is from a PPA), but this might be useful for
inspection nonetheless.
