1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Issues with Boinc 7.4.27 - GPU & ASIC (Message 1627962) Posted 15 Jan 2015 by Vas Vadum Post: Ah, well I got it working using an advanced uninstaller from system mechanic. My GPU now works fine with Boinc, though haven't overclocked it again because I had some odd crashes that might possibly have been related to it. Out of curiosity, if you would happen to know the answer (cause I've asked literally everyone else), what causes this? (Might be related to the explorer issue you mentioned) https://www.dropbox.com/s/v4e1uibi79yx4qc/Screenshot%202014-12-20%2015.49.56.png Every day or two, I open task manager and have to end 2-10 duplicate explorer.exe processes, no clue why.

2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Issues with Boinc 7.4.27 - GPU & ASIC (Message 1625716) Posted 9 Jan 2015 by Vas Vadum Post: Boinc can't be uninstalled properly. I'm going to try and reinstall without uninstalling it, because it can't be uninstalled. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qo1j7580obc56lh/Screenshot%202015-01-09%2002.28.24.png Nevermind, got it uninstalled and my GPU options back. Apparently, you have to download a new copy of boinc to uninstall it from there, then you can install again after. My GPU options are back again. :P

3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Issues with Boinc 7.4.27 - GPU & ASIC (Message 1625651) Posted 9 Jan 2015 by Vas Vadum Post: I assume that all my downloaded and currently in progress work will be safe when I uninstall and reinstall? Including all my configs and such?

4) Questions and Answers : Windows : Issues with Boinc 7.4.27 - GPU & ASIC (Message 1625382) Posted 8 Jan 2015 by Vas Vadum Post: Yea, I updated as soon as the new update came out. As for the mining tool, I suppose I can delete the file I made for it since I thought the ASIC miner would be more useful for something not useless (bitcoin mining is useless). Figured it'd be better than throwing it away after all. Yes, GPU is set to allow work and it used to do work, until I overclocked it by 17.5%. After that, Boinc won't use it again and I don't know how to get it to see it. The driver crashed a few times prior, when trying to find a stable clock rate, but I had found one at 910MHz, when playing some of my intense games. I reset the clock and turned off the tool I used to overclock it but Boinc just still won't get GPU work and it simply isn't giving me the option to use GPU like it did before. I used to always have "Suspend GPU, GPU on prefs, GPU always" options under the same CPU options, above the network options in Activity menu. Now all the GPU ones are gone. I did install it as a service. I thought that was supposed to be better, and give it a bit more abilities or something. What's the difference with service and non-service?

5) Questions and Answers : Windows : Won't get new tasks (Message 1625091) Posted 7 Jan 2015 by Vas Vadum Post: I had a separate post about this earlier, I'll link it so it can be discussed there instead. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=76392

6) Questions and Answers : Windows : Won't get new tasks (Message 1624840) Posted 7 Jan 2015 by Vas Vadum Post: Then is it a coincidence that I haven't been able to get GPU specific tasks for a while? I thought it might have been that I overclocked my GPU but even after resetting the clock, I still can't get new tasks for it, and the CPU tasks just stopped coming in sometime half way through yesterday.

7) Questions and Answers : Windows : Issues with Boinc 7.4.27 - GPU & ASIC (Message 1618891) Posted 25 Dec 2014 by Vas Vadum Post: I'm not sure why, but ever since I overclocked my GPU slightly with MSI Afterburner, it seems that Seti&Home is no longer giving my GPU any tasks, in fact, Boinc completely removed it from the list where I can select "Suspend, Run on Prefs, Run always" (under Activity). When I check the log, it says it won't use it cause my computer is in use, so I went into options and even tried setting it to always use, still didn't work. Also, I remember hearing that this new client can use ASIC miner tools, so I got my old bitcoin tool out that was just a basic ASIC miner, but nothing. I remember editing some config files to try and enable it too. Not sure what to do to make it work. I do however see this in my event log when it starts up my CPU. 12/25/2014 5:37:14 PM | SETI@home | Requesting new tasks for CPU and miner_asic So, why isn't Seti using my GPU anymore? And how do I make my ASIC miner work? This is the tool I used, however mine is slightly faster, 336MH/s http://www.amazon.com/ASICMiner-Block-Erupter-USB-Sapphire/dp/B00CUJT7TO Same device basically. In case someone needs to know the exact device.

10) Questions and Answers : Windows : boinc 7.4.27 windows x86/64 does not install, Can't find BOINC.msi (Message 1604773) Posted 24 Nov 2014 by Vas Vadum Post: Every time I try to install the update, it can't find BOINC.msi and cancels the installation. This is the BOINC it claims to be downloaded in.... Er, some directory other than %temp%. Sorry, I just tried again to get the error and it seems to have succeeded because I reinstalled / repaired using an older version, 7.2. Let me reboot and see if it worked, if so, then your installer might not be working correctly, or presenting an odd useless error that would confuse people.

11) Questions and Answers : GPU applications : How do you use "account_PROJECT_URL.xml"? (Message 1023474) Posted 7 Aug 2010 by Vas Vadum Post: I can't figure out where to put the file "account_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml" on another computer that also has boinc installed. Can someone help me with this? I'm trying to get Seti working on other computers in my home.

14) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Name Change (Message 1021117) Posted 31 Jul 2010 by Vas Vadum Post: I changed my name on the account as I originally registered under my "junk" mail name and account just in case this thing was going to spam me a lot. I can't get boinc to recognize my new name on this site.
