I'm just bringing up a new PC. It has an ATI Radeon HD4550 card. I do not have local over-ride preferences set on BOINC on the new host. My Einstein@home preferences have "no" selected for "Use Nvidia GPU".
Yet I get this message a lot "Your Computer has no NVIDIA GPU".
And I also see in the message log "Requesting new tasks for GPU".
My BOINC client version is 6.10.58.
As soon as the SETI site comes back to life, I do intend to have a try at using the ATI card on SETI Astropulse, using the new Lunatics release.
If there is something I can fix, please advise. Otherwise I've just added this comment to this thread, as it appears the current BOINC release and web site preferences may interact differently than those commented on in earlier comments in this thread.

I presume your new host is asking for new work for its ATI GPU - you can check that by setting in the logging section of cc_config.xml
And because Einstein doesn't have an ATI app, it won't get any work, but it'll keep asking (at least once per day), once things settle down.
And, also because Einstein doesn't have an ATI application, there's no way you can stop the client requesting the non-existing work - because the "Use ATI GPU" preference is hidden, but defaulted to 'yes', while there's no ATI app.
I've suggested to BOINC developers (several times) that "Use xxx GPU" should be defaulted to 'no' at the server if/while no matching application is installed, but they haven't taken it up.

It is a Boinc status message nothing more. As long as it is true you can safely ignore it. Dr. A, of Seti and the guy who wrote Boinc, says status messages are there so we know what is going on and are not error messages.
I have 3 machines with Nvidia cards and 6 other machines with ATI cards, they both get the status message saying that no ATI/Nvidia gpu is present depending on what they do have.
And, also because Einstein doesn't have an ATI application, there's no way you can stop the client requesting the non-existing work - because the "Use ATI GPU" preference is hidden, but defaulted to 'yes', while there's no ATI app.
So these messages are not an indication of something wrong with my configuration, and there's nothing practical I can do to make them go away.
Thank you again Richard for precise and helpful answers.
There are several indications that this newly built system is sick in ways unrelated to BOINC (once it hung up on the BIOS screen after saying it was auto-recognizing drives but before displaying the found drives--just for one example). As I am new to Windows 7, I am trying to sort which oddities might be related to my suspected hardware issues(s) and possibly corrupt Win7 installation concerns, and knowing which are just normal behavior. Putting this one in the normal behavior bin inches me down the road a bit.

It does mean that your computer has no nVidia GPU. ;-)
You don't have to address it, since your computer doesn't need a GPU (of any brand) for crunching.

Are you sure that the new PC is in the same venue where "Don't use GPU" is set?

Quite sure.
For one thing, that option is set for all four locations (a.k.a. venues).
If anything, I am less certain that I did not accidentally set a local preference override. I'll check that point when I return in a few hours.
Thanks.

But the local preferences override only the global preferences, not the project ones. :-)
