I'm running 7.14.2 on a 64 bit windows 10 machine. I've signed on for projects with Asteroids, citizen science grid, denis, milkyway, mindmodeling, universe, work community grid, and seti. Of all of those only SETI and Milkyway are actively working, Universe and World Community Grid are sitting under "ready to start" status and have been doing so all day. There are also tons of tasks for milkyway that are sitting under "ready to start (8cpu's) but aren't doing anything. I've got an eight core CPU, 16gb of RAM, and a decent gpu which isn't being used for some reason. I've got the settings set to use 75% of the machine regardless of use 24/7. Anyone have any tips on how to get more activity going on this machine?

Immediately above your post is: When requesting help on these forums.
From the first post in that thread:

* Post the first 40 - 100 lines from your BOINC Event Log (CTRL+SHIFT+E), including it showing what your BOINC is doing, which project tasks it is running.

That info may help us to help you.

One specific point from that: you are using a relatively old driver for your graphics card. That, in itself, is GOOD: scientific computing doesn't, in general, need the constant updates that gaming does.

But you are missing a component often used by BOINC projects: there should be a second, similar, line giving details for an 'OpenCL' driver for your GTX 960. Go to nvidia.com (or your local country equivalent), and download one of NVidia's own drivers: that will have all components included.

The very latest drivers have a technical bug which causes problems at some projects. Don't select anything newer than 436.48 - and when you install it, choose the installation which excludes 'GeForce Experience', and choose a 'custom install' and exclude other optional components. All unless you know you need a specific tool for your other, non-BOINC, uses of the machine.

Argh - CORRECTION. My mind was elsewhere.

Don't choose any driver later than 431.60 - it's the 436 series that introduced the problem.
