BOINC v 7.7.2 is much better than 7.6.33 on gpu suspend/resume tasks, no bsod anymore on my machine (nvidia gpu). I think it shall be promoted as stable and replace 7.6.33 . |

Some observations: 1. There have been no changes between these versions with return to how GPU tasks suspend/resume. 2. You also changed your videocard drivers. It's much more likely you fixed your problem doing that. 3. BOINC by itself does nothing with the GPUs. It merely detects what kind of GPU is in the system, according to the drivers that you installed and what the capabilities are (CUDA & OpenCL mainly). It does not put load on them, which will usually cause the BSODs. 4. 7.7.2 was mostly a concept release to see if the developer in question could pack everything together, build a working client out of it and if the installer he built worked in the different Windows versions (which it doesn't). 5. In itself any 7.7 version will never become a recommended version, because of its numbering. Major.odd.revision means it's an unstable alpha/beta version. Major.even.revision means it's a stable release candidate/recommended version. So any next recommended version will always be a 7.8 |

Some observations: Indeed, I still got a bsod on suspend. |
