I fixed it by doing a clean install of Windows 10. I guess Windows 11 just isn't ready for prime time.

Hi, I've been having a problem with my mini PC running BOINC on Windows 11 crashing almost daily. Looking in the Event Viewer recently I found the following:

update 2: Since there are AMD drivers for Windows 10 as well, I decided to see if Windows 10 did better at GPU computing than Ubuntu. I installed Windows, the AMD drivers, and BOINC with VirtualBox. That did the trick! GPU computing underway now

Update: I found AMD drivers for the v1000 series but found they are only for Ubuntu 20.04. So I installed that then the driver. Still no gpu computing in BOINC

Hi,
I got an Udoo Bolt v8, which has an AMD v1605b SoC with Radeon Vega 8 Graphics.
I installed Pop_OS 21.04 and BOINC from package repository and was hoping it would do GPU computing since it does have Radeon Vega 8 graphics and does support OpenCL per AMDs website, but GPU computing is not showing up as available.

Is there something I can do to get GPU computing working?

thanks!

same, just noticed my Windows PC hasn't updated to SU in 3 days. All 3 of my linux boxes have updated just fine.
