 I have one specific computer running windows 8.  For some reason whenever boinc runs.  Whether I run it manually or wait for it to go when my comp is idle.  It kills the graphics on my machine.   What I mean is.  lets say the system is running fine before boinc starts and if im getting for example 70 fps.  Whenever boinc runs, it now only gets between 3-10 fps, permanently.  No matter if I shut boinc back off again it stays running at such a low fps till I restart the computer.   It also doesn't matter if I have it set to compute with gpu or to not use the gpu.  if boinc runs it does it every time.   Even with a fresh install it seems to still do it. Does anyone happen to know what the problem is or if there is a fix for this other than uninstalling it from this machine? |

 Mind passing by on this thread to read up on what minimal information is needed to be able to answer your question? For info of Windows 8 and frames per second is not enough.  Minimum: - Hardware used. - Project or projects which affect this. - What 'graphics'? Edit: (lol, I'm lacking in speed. Anyway, now you've been asked twice) |
