After the computer restarts, the system and other programs can recognize the GPU, only Einstein@home shows that the GPU is lost
One thing to consider is the Quadro M2000 was a high-end professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched in 2016. Unless it has been updated with a much newer video BIOS, it may not have what is needed for computing the tasks of today. Mikey had given good advice on running NVIDIA driver and not the one supplied by your Windows 10, and make sure that you only have one driver installed. You may even want to get an older video driver since the latest ones like the 566 Mikey mentioned are essentially for running the latest games and I kind of doubt whether your Quadro M200 can use the driver so new. I'd recommend running an NVIDIA driver from the late 400's to early 500's.
Also, just a bit of advice, Einstein does have a problem running two different tasks on the same GPU, some more than others. Since you are running O3ASBu and BRP7/MeerKAT at the same time with a 4GB memory GPU, it might be a good idea to choose one or the other, but not both.
.....[EDIT].....
After double checking your NVIDIA driver, if you have BOINC installed within your VirtualBox you may want to remove it and see if that helps. I do not know if the M2000 card you have installed is compatible with version 7.0.6 that you have installed.
That card may just be too old for some of the applications. So have higher Compute Capability requirements than that cards CC 5.2. Also the new apps require OpenCL 3.0. You card supposedly supports that but the drivers also have to support that and more importantly report so to BOINC. Your logs show that it meets the OpenCL requirement. Haven't found any definitive report on what the minimum CC requirement is for the current gpu apps. The older, deprecated apps had a CC 7.0 requirement.
Install BOINC without the VirtualBox included, just the base standard BOINC and see if the gpu is seen in Boinc after reboot.
You should also use the coproc_debug logging tag and see what it reports after installing Boinc, then see what it again reports after quitting Boinc and then restarting to see what if any more information is reported in the log other than the gpu is now missing.
[EDIT] Also found your exact error message at Boinc Github issues.
Boinc 8.02 doesn't recognize ATI cards. But just for grins. Revert back to Boinc 7,24.1 instead of the latest Boinc and see if the problem is still there.
im running a T1000 8GB NVIDIA and this is what I've had to do as I have the same issue as you.
sudo modprobe nvidia_uvm
sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart
restart boinc and it should work. Also do not put boinc in startup as it loads faster than the drivers can load. aka no gpu found. I hope this helps. :)
Anyone who has this issue withe the GPU card not recognized, could you please check the next:
1. Does this happen when you update BOINC and run BOINC from the installer (on the last step checkbox is checked)?
2. Do you see this error if BOINC is started as a normal start after OS restart or after manual start of the BOINC (e.g. from the start menu)?
3. Are you sure you didn't install BOINC to run as a service?
Please report back to the issue on GitHub.
Thank you in advance.
