I just removed the E@H project and then after a pause added it again.  It promptly downloaded a CPU task :) I guess I must have scrambled something (again).

You must have...  I don't know about you...  I wish I could look over your shoulder and watch what you do every time you have something go wrong.

Your first problem is because you didn't load the Nvidia drivers for your gpu from Nvidia itself, the ones that come with Windows cannot do crunching, or gaming very well either for that matter, and you will need to go to nvidia dot com click on drivers and put in your gpu model and OS and then download and install the driver. After that restart your pc and you should be good on the gpu tasks.

When I look at one of my pc's under the gpu heading I see this:NVIDIA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (4095MB) driver: 511.79 but when I look at your pc I see this: AMD Radeon (TM) RX 480 Graphics (4096MB)  you can see there is no Nvidia driver version number meaning you didn't manually install the driver.

Now as far as your cpu tasks on the Arm, I'm guessing a R-Pi but am not sure, they are doing just fine: Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo) v1.51 () arm-android-linux-gnu Completed and validated.

You can quickly find out by going to the computer in question through the website and looking at the list of tasks assigned to it.

If you click on the Task ID link for any of the failed tasks you will see the information that was sent back to the project about that task.  I picked a failed task at random and the key bit of information is on a line by itself (not far from the bottom of the output log) which reads:-

Global mem size: 0

This means that BOINC can't identify any GPU memory to use which probably means that you don't have the necessary OpenCL libraries installed.

I don't use Windows at all but from what others have said, Windows may not install GPU drivers which include the OpenCL libraries.  You probably need to go to AMD to get a complete driver package for your particular GPU model and version of Windows.

 

Cheers,
Gary.

He's using an AMD RX 480.  Didn't you take a look???

Make sure your Boinc Log includes a OCL driver when Boinc starts up.  Not just the radeon driver.  Its in the BOINC log in the first 30-40 lines or so.

Amd.com has a Windows-based "automatic" Windows GPU installer.  Might try that first.

That installer might install some motherboard/cpu drivers.  It probably will be helpful.  Let it please.

If that doesn't give you clear crunching then "back grade" to the oldest (at least a year old if possible) Windows driver.

If that doesn't "work" keep switching drivers older/newer till you find one that does work.

Stop :)  when you find one.

Another idea is examine any of the Windows systems which are running Radeon gpus in the top 50 list.  What driver version are they using?

Probably a typo from a mental error.  We "never" make physical errors.....  :)
