Hi peoples :)

I'm running BOINC 7.6.33
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit SP1
Problem doesn't seem to be project related, I regularly focus work on GPUGRID, SETI and COLLATZ on this machine, however RNA, POEM, Milky WAY Rosetta and EINSTEIN are also attached.

So pretty much out of the blue BOINC has stopped resuming from idle (meaning it used to resume fine) I don't recall changing any settings or drivers. There have been no hardware changes.
I currently have the 'suspend when computer is in use' checked in local prefereences
The 'Suspend GPU when in use' is checked and greyed out when the above is checked.
I have the 'In use.......' definition field set to 1 minute.
Non BOINC CPU box is unchecked and empty.

After 1 minute, nothing happens and the system just sits there saying that the computer is in use.
I can 'force' computing by setting the 'Activity' to 'Run always' . This will run CPU tasks but will not run GPU tasks, GPU still sits there saying 'GPU suspended - Computer is in use.

I have tried updating BOINC to this version.(not sure what previous version was.
I have uninstalled BOINC. Rebooted machine. Re Installed BOINC to this version.
I have suspended all projects not currently working on and tried making all of the remote preferences the same as local preferences, including BAM
I have updated my video card driver to 381.89

If anyone has any ideas, that would be awesome thank you! I'm not good at manually turning BOINC on and off when I want to use the computer myself so would love to get this going again.

Ian
