I have a new machine, i7-2720QM, nVidia GeForce GT 555M.

This is the first time I have ever had graphics that were noticed by any project.
I saw in BOINCStats that my credits were flying up, and that one project in particular was making huge outsized gains.

Sure enough, it is crunching with the graphics.

I do not want to crunch with GPU because of the heat. This is a laptop which I run 24/7.

I have aborted all existing WU's from the project and marked it for no new work.

I am running BOINC 6.10.43. I see in Local Preferences no choice about GPU except a box to not check re: GPU when computer is in use.

How can I get this project to run only on CPU?

Deselect at that project's preferences page, 'Use Nvidia GPU', then you'll no longer get GPU work from that project,

Thanks, I thought of that also; but there is no configuration that even asks on their Computing Preferences.

Should I be looking somewhere else?

Not Computing Preferences which is Global across all Projects, But Project Preferences, which are the Preferences for that project,

Thanks, found it, sorry for the trouble.

You should also be able to use the <no_gpus> option in cc_config. This should solve the problem once and for all, so even if a project introduces GPU processing, you won't run those tasks.

Thanks for the tip.
