Why Mint instead Win? Don't Ask. So difficult to say :/
Just for giggles try 72 Watts instead of 70.
Then run nvidia-smi without sudo.

I have never had any problems with setting the power limit with Mint 21.1 and driver 535.183 or older.
My 4090 usually runs with -pl 220 with Einstein, Primegrid etc.
The utilization of the gpu can also be checked with nvtop.
Hi All: This message relates to NVIDIA (GeForce MX550 (2047MB) driver: 546.59) Hope this does not double post...I lost my draft copy. This is concerning my Einstein PC 13185787, AKA Charlie 1. With too few hosts, I am trying to do justice to both Milky and Ein. I decided to add my personal business PC into the mix to get a few more credits. Milky downloaded great and started crunching immediately...but remember that is now CPUs and NOT GPUs. I downloaded the GPU for EIN. No joy. EIN is listing the PC in its list, but is NOT downloading any work for the PC. EIN IS communicating with this PC. I also tried download it from scratch, with or without BAM. No luck. Next I checked to see if I had the latest version software version and it is the latest......
Are any of you using NVIDIA MX550? It is not a screamer but I thought it would give me at least a few more credits.

Thanks, Folks
I doubt your GeForce MX550 is compatible with anything with Einstein or even BOINC. It needs to be capable of using CUDA computations. Check to see if your GPU is compatible by checking NVIDIA's websites:
Thank you GWGEORGE007 for taking the time to respond. After going through various NVIDIA web comments re Cuda, I think it could work. However, the complexity is way beyond my knowledge level, so I will just let this little, kinda slow host plug away for Milky, and let the machine handle my personal business needs which it does very well. This brings up another point...Trying to survive and squeeze a little extra production out is not always easy, but there are always a number of people in here that are willing to help those of us with less knowledge a helping hand....Thank you! Reminds me of a situation, I had a major mainframe crash at work years ago.....Told my brother about it---he was an amazing code writer...he placed his hand on the mainframe and said, "Computer, Heal thou self" and it wrote a thousand lines of code and worked perfectly. So, in my next lifetime, I am going to.............

James,
When you get a chance would you restart your boinc manager and post the first 30 lines of the log here?
There might be additional information that lets us give you even more useful advice. It is entirely possible that you just don't have enough memory to run e@h applications on that GPU.
If you want to explore other GPU-available projects or possibly running Asteroids at home on that GPU it certainly may be possible.

I'm using 535 with all my Linux Mint boxes, both v20.3 & v21.3. Worked with a 1660ti (not installed now) and works with 3070, 3080 and 4070 cards.

72 doesn't change anything -

72 doesn't change anything - still nvidia-smi shows 100/72 , but:
if I increase pl to 120W it shows 115/120 and temperatures and frequency goes up
Something is preventing pl to be lowered.
OK.... pl works with MooWrapper, but not with PrimeGrid. Thats fine for me as well for our Mother (as She doesn't know what She crunches :) )
Now pl is set to 70 and real is about 66-70
Other host with Ubuntu and 3070 doesn't have that problem: Einstein, Moo and PRimeGrid is limited to setpoint
But still - has anyone know why is that so?
I have never had any problems

Personally, I think it is just too old.

This is what I know:
NVIDIA MX550 Notebook
Cuda 7.5
GRD (latest Game Ready driver) 556.12 Win10/11
Einstein GW (Gravitational Wave Search) tasks need more than 2GB (approx. 2.5GB)
Happy crunching S-F-V
