Okay, I exited completely and restarted. It's working now. Seems like a pretty obvious thing to have tried *facepalm*

One more related question- the GPU is running at ~50% on einstein@home (don't know about other projects). Is there a way to get it to use 100%? I've tried upping the priority in task manager, but it only goes up 2-5%

I have two GTX 570s, but one of them gets much hotter than the other. I would like to prevent BOINC from using GPU0 for any projects. I am currently using BOINC Manager 7.0.18 x64, and I have added

"<ignore_cuda_dev>0</ignore_cuda_dev>" and "<ignore_nvidia_dev>0</ignore_nvidia_dev>"

tags to cc_config.xml. Unfortunately, even if I do Advanced -> Read config file in BOINC Manager, it does not prevent the use of either GPU. Am I missing something?

I am not new to BOINC, but it doesn't seem to want to run properly on my new computer (specs follow). I attached to SETI@Home, and it downloaded the tasks to do and began them (I have it run all the time, not just when it's idle). However, when it reaches 25-30% complete, the task restarts at 5% and it does this over and over again, so I get no credit. Why is it doing this and how can I fix it?

My Specs:
- AMD Phenom 9500 Quad-Core at 2.2Ghz
- Vista Home Premium 32
- 3GB memory
- Set to run all the time at max 80% of all 4 cores
- Set to use max 20% of a 500GB HD
- I have DSL, so always on

My old HP laptop (1GB memory, Intel Dual-Core @1.86Ghz, 100GB HD, XP Pro) ran it just fine, and I got my credits.
