(moderation:
My computer has an nVidia Graphics card in it. I have a process which had been running with 1 CPU + 1 GPU now shows a status of "Waiting to run GPU missing". When I look in messages, I do see a " No usable GPUs found." What happened? I started getting this all of the sudden, I have not even turned off the computer. Why is it suddenly not recognizing the GPU? This machine has only on graphics card and it is working. The computer is running Ubunto Linux 10.10. Thanks in advance for any help.[/b]
GPU Missing?

Did you try that in the meantime? It sometimes helps even on linux systems. ;-)
Perhaps the driver got restarted.

I have rebooted the system, I have not tried a cold start. It's still"missing" the GPU.

What card is it ? My 320Mb 8800 GTS can't do E@H and run a display, too little memory.

It should show up in the computer details nevertheless.

It's a GeForce 315 with 1Gig of memory. The odd thing though is that it had been working until earlier this weekend. I haven't done anything with the card, or with Boinc. Ubuntu did install some updates, I don't know if one of them might have done something.

Usually (I use SUSE linux) after every kernel update you must install (i.e. compile NVIDIA driver) again.

Ok. I've been away from home for a while, but I just got back and checked. I do have the latest drivers from nvidia installed and working. Any other ideas?

This is getting weird. I booted up this machine earlier today, and still had the GPU missing. I just restarted though, and it suddenly found the GPU again. I did absolutely nothing to the machine, driver or Graphics card. Anyway, at least its working.
Thanks for your help.
Perhaps BOINC previously got

Perhaps BOINC previously got started before the graphics system was initialized and therefore couldn't find the CUDA device. The last time, the initialization might have been a little faster. ;-)
The next time the GPU is "missing", try restarting BOINC without reboot, to confirm that. There have been threads on the forum about methods to delay the start of BOINC at boot time.
