Topic 203516

I bought a new Dell Inspiron desktop PC that has two Intel GPUs. All is running smoothly with BOINC manager except for one problem.  My new computer is not able to retrieve any Intel GPU work units on Einstein@home project. Specifically, my new computer has Intel HD Graphics 520. I did change my project preferences but this did not help.

How can I make this work?

Because you have your

Because you have your computers hidden I can't check the server logs of the last contact your computer made so can't say for sure but I suspect that it has to do with what driver version you have installed for your Intel GPU and restrictions set by the project.
There has been problems with tasks not validating for newer Intel GPUs and newer driver versions.

I believe that enabling "Run test applications?" in your Einstein@home preferences will allow you to download tasks and test if they run as they should and validate.
Please do keep an eye on how things work out and report back.
