It's a driver issue. I've had it before as well. Can't remember exactly how I fixed it but I think I rebooted in safe mode, I uninstall the driver, cleaned out the registry (CCleaner) then only install the driver and nothing else from the installer.

Well, something is messed up for sure.
I've never seen that before, but things are pretty tangled if the system thinks that a GPU is an ejectable device....LOL.

Perhaps the fix for HDDs coming up as ejectable could be adapted to PCIe.

Thanks for suggestions, I'll try them due time.
Unfortunately, this issue severely reduced output from that host.

Before it had iGPU (monitor attached) + 2 NV cards, GSO9600 + GT9400 (nothing attached) and all cards were able to crunch BOINC (CUDA23 for NV cards was the best option).

After changing those NV GPUs with recently donated GTX570 host config becames highly unstable.
Actually, it can't steadely crunch on 2 GPUs (embedded iGPU + GTX 570)
So far I had no occasion to plug both cards together to monitor, but some of attempted configs (I change primiry display in BIOS + extend /clone desktop in Win7) resulted in 2 cards visible for BOINC after boot.
It even crunch for some time.
But at some moment it just loses NV card and screen goes blank in case monitor was connected to it.
Currently it works OK with monitor connected to iGPU but w/o NV crunching.
Cause I had more complex config on very same host before (3 cards instead of just 2) it's quite discouraging.

Would appreciate any suggestions how to make both GPUs visible to BOINC (mostly, how to keep this visibility after boot for long time).
Seems any attempt to watch some video, even online streaming, killing setup.

P.S. since first post it seems host learned how to unplug it, hehe (black screen instead of that message)...
