Hi. I just bought a brand new Sapphire 5870 and i have a problem :/ When i shout down my monitor then boinc says "ati gpu became unusable" and "milkyway trying to use missing ati gpu", so i leave monitor "on" but in few hours i have got the same situation.I can't check that the monitor is still "on" becouse it is in my work - so i just can get on computer by remote desktop. I have latest ati drivers (9.12) and win7 x64 - I think the problem is whit some settings in drivers - but i have no idea which it is :/ Can somebody help me ? |

If your using a Screen Saver turn it off, I think I seen this happen one time to 1 of my Box's and turning off the Screen Saver cured it ... |

Yep getting rid of the screen saver fixed that problem for me as well. I now turn the monitors off the old fashioned way, I use the power switch on them. |

Make sure in "Power Options" in the Control Panel, it's not set to shut down monitor after xx minutes. |

Make sure in "Power Options" in the Control Panel, it's not set to shut down monitor after xx minutes. for example, in my case this option just works. it switches off the monitor after 10 minutes and MW gpu client does not losing gpu chip, just continue to crunching. and there is no problems when i manually switch off monitor and i do it very frequently. MSI 5870, xp sp3, latest ati drivers 9.12, screen saver set to "blank screen" after 5 minutes, and power setting is to turn off display after 10 minutes. oh, i have same gpu losing problem, then my primary graphics was NVIDIA and ATI was secondary and in control panel there was set no secondary display. in what case boinc can't find ATI gpu. |

People have gotten around it by using VNC instead of remote desktop. |
