I have this happen frequently. It happened when I ran Linux as well, but I just chalked that up to Linux. Now that I'm a reborn Windows user (XP SP2 was the last Windows OS I used regularly), it's quite annoying! When I play games on my PC I will snooze the GPU. It doesn't happen every time, but frequently enough that I'm making a post about it. It's quite annoying when frames drop to 30-40. My Linux box was a Xeon X5675, 8GB of ram. Linux Mint using kernel 4.9.0 and Boinc 7.6.33. It was only a 460 GTX so I had to snooze the GPU when I was using the computer. In the middle of a movie and it resumes crunching GPU WU's... ugh. Current box is running Windows 10 Pro with Boinc 7.6.33, Ryzen 1700X, 16BG RAM, 1070 GTX. |

Did you use the snooze option in the notification area icon? If you used then that is what it's supposed to do, pause CPU/GPU computing for 30 minutes or 1 hour, I can't remember how long the pause is. If you need computing to pause until you say otherwise you need open the Manager and suspend computing from Activity menu. |

If you need computing to pause until you say otherwise you need open the Manager and suspend computing from Activity menu.Or use the exclusive applications options from the menu (BOINC Manager->(View->Advanced view)->Options->Exclusive applications), where you can set programs that suspend BOINC when these programs are detected in memory. You can set separately for CPU (suspends all of BOINC) and GPU (suspends only GPU calculations, while CPU calculations continue). This does require that Activity for CPU and GPU is set 'run based on preferences'. |
