After reformatting PC with Windows 10 Pro 64bit, Boinc can no longer see the GPU. System Information: Windows 10 Pro 64bit Boinc 7.6.33 x64 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 NVIDIA drivers 378.49 01/24/2017 (latest) installed through GeForce Experience With previous installation (Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit) and GeForce Experience, latest NVIDIA drivers etc everything was working fine.

23-Jan-17 1:42:19 PM | | Running as a daemon (GPU computing disabled) The key essential lines. You installed BOINC as a service. Which means that through a Microsoft security measure, the drivers that the GPU needs are separated from the user account you run BOINC under. Fix: Uninstall BOINC. Reinstall BOINC with the installer. Third screen in click Advanced. Uncheck "Service install" Continue installation. Mind: the non-service installation is the default installation. To have BOINC install as a service, you or whomever else installed BOINC before has at one point changed the installation to be done as a service. If you then ignore the blurb that states the thing about the GPUs... you get into this situation. Doing an advanced 'no limit' search on these forums on "Running as a daemon" will yield a lot of results. |

Thank you Ageless. Indeed that was the issue. I could have sworn that in my previous built I was running BOINC as a service and GPU computing was working but obviously I am wrong... :( In either case, that was the issue and now my GPU is happily computing... Cheers! |
