ATI HD 4200 Where to put it?

Mike, my first guess would be old drivers that don't have the right SDK package or no Open CL support. If it's and ATI GPU, then Moo! and especially Collatz should run on it. The only problem I can think of is if it doesn't have enough video RAM to crunch. You can check that possibility by going into the Event Log in BOINC, and seeing if it's disabling the GPU or whatever it's saying after it searches for what GPU is installed. It will be close to the top of the log when you first start up BOINC and next to where it lists your CPU specs.

Yeah BM says no usable gpu. Brand new box and thought the updates were already done. NOPE.. I'm updating the video driver now. Hoping that does the trick. Thanks.

success!! Looks like I got it crunching. Now I'll test it on Moo, then Collatz, MW is just too unstable right now.

NICE! It'll be "slow", but every bit helps! Moo! should give the best credits, with Collatz as a good option if the temps get too high on Moo!...

Yeah, No OC'ing it's an HP box. I'll watch it. I'm hoping to get one more on line before the Big Push. Thanks for the advice.

7+ hrs per wu. lol. At least it's something.

Get that thing doing some Mini-Collatz WU´s....Should be very quick to run, and they pay around 350-400 @ piece

I'm looking at add a box for the push that has a HD 4200. I'm not having any luck running anything, Collatz, Moo, etc. It's not seeing the gpu. It is an integrated gpu but says it's an HD 4200.
I check the settings in BM to use the gpu. When I check Bam it dose not have the check box to allow AMD work only cpu work. Any suggestions?

What version drivers are you running? Catalyst 11.11? Other?

Possible suggestion:
1. uninstall the video driver
2. run a driver cleaner app to really make sure it is gone
3. reinstall
4. Don't trust windows to update the driver. Get it yourself from AMD and install it manually.

Once the BOINC client acknowledges you have a GPU that can crunch, you shouldn't have any problem getting work from Collatz.
