On one of my computers, never seen this before, I have a GPU running folding at home. The card is not well supported and the tasks for it are rare. So I told boinc to run einstein on it, and pause for fahcore_22.exe. It obeys 99% of the time, but every so often it starts einstein for 20 seconds then stops it again. Is there a debug option so I can get more in the log than "GPU computing resumed"?

I have never used it but perhaps priority_debug?

I must admit, I removed FAH as it and BOINC didn't play nicely together a bit too frequently for my liking.

I'll try.

It works for me. I've put my GPUs on it since there is no biology for AMD GPUs on Boinc. I simply told Boinc to use a couple less CPU cores, so the Folding GPU could get fed.

priority debug seems to fill the messages with it's own stuff, but I can't find the GPU off and on messages. Boinc is omitting most normal messages!

I saw it running the GPU incorrectly, and stopping. So within 1 minute I look at the messages expecting GPU stopping for exclusive app, and I can't find the stopping message in the last 5 minutes!?
