All of a sudden CUDA tasks are no longer running properly on one of my machines running 6.6.20. BOINC would start a CUDA task, only to suspend it after a few seconds to minutes without starting another one. After sitting idle for a long while, the CUDA task gets resumed, only to get suspended again after another a short while.

Does anybody have any idea what's going on? I hadn't done anything to the machine before this problem started.

EDIT:
Never mind, I found out what happened: for some reason the option "Use GPU while computer is in use" got unchecked. I have absolutely no idea how that option unchecked itself though.

Its default setting was recently changed from ON to OFF, because of the slowdown problems that VLAR tasks cause.
