Is SETI compatible with this board? I've enabled GPU in general preferences, as well as for SETI - tasks for SETI@Home advanced 6.03 running fine , but just on PC's quad CPU's.

only for Assropulse, S@H needs to lunatics apps installed to fully use any ATI GPU. Currently the Lunatics unified installer is unavailable.

Which brand is the card ?
There are different versions available with other capabilities.

It's an AMD Radeon HD 6450 card.

AMD makes GPUs, but generally supplies them to third party companies which put them on boards. I think the board brand is what Mike was asking for.
Your computer 6872359 doesn't show a coprocessor, indicating BOINC may not be seeing the board. OTOH, if it does but is for some reason not using the board, there would be some indication within the first 30 lines or so of the event log at BOINC startup.
AMD supplies drivers, some don't have the APP components needed for using the GPU as a coprocessor. My guess is that's the most likely cause. Joe |

an amd 6450 has only 160 streaming cores and while it is opencl comparable
the hd5570 has 400 streaming cores is opencl capable and can be bought
on ebay used for as little as 25 dollars as I did just 3 months age.
do not install catalyst above 12.8 yet or you will have problems.
as Joe said no coprocessor is listed so catalyst the diver for ts card
is probably not installed, if the card works the genaric windows driver should
work well enough to get some video but the card can not do all that it should
with out catalyst, to test card plug monitor in to it while off, turn pc on if
you get video install drive remember catalyst above 12.8 will cause problems.

Not all 6450 cards available are OpenCL capable.
Thats the reason i asked for the brand.
Download GPUz and see if OpenCL is checked.

the amd web site says that the chipset is opencl 1.1 complient
good to know some are not.
the suggestion to use cpu-z was good I should have included it
msi afterburner can also be vary useful.
I have noticed inconsistency's in cards less capable than the hd5570
and have found them to be vary affordable so I recommend them as a place
to start for anyone that want's to try a gpu without spending a lot.
the 6450 with only 160 streaming core's is only a little faster
than a cpu.

Looked at the startup log - you're right, doesn't see the GPU. Ran GPU-Z, and it does say have OpenCL.

You're done a 'protected application execution' installation (aka a service installation), you're never going to detect a GPU whatever drivers you have installed,
Stop the Boinc Service, uninstall Boinc, reinstall Boinc and this time go into the Advanced menu and untick ''protected application execution'

Claggy - aha!! That was it. Was trying to get it to run from a non-admin account - didn't need that option too.
World Community Grid - Help Conquer Cancer app now running on 1 CPUs + 1 ATI GPU.
Will wait and see if SETI Astropulse tries to use it too.
Thanks very much to you - and others - for the help.
