I've been running milkyway@home on my two AMD r9 280xs, and up until recently boinc has been using both of my graphics cards. However, recently boinc has stopped using one of my graphics cards, I can see that it's being detected in the log, however it's not running any tasks. I've looked over this thread, and I've added the

<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>

however boinc still only uses 1 GPU.

This just happened recently and I was wondering what I should do, thanks!

Are you on the latest version of BOINC? If both cards are being detected in the event log, maybe you're reaching some sort of internal task per day limit. I've heard that the R9 cards crunch pretty fast on MilkyWay@home.
