GPU stuck on idle

It seems that a lot of GPU problems revolve around specific versions of drivers. Though NVidia has their own support structure, you can often learn from information reported by others who fold.

At this point, the biochemists at F@H are still working out which proteins they want us to analyze; when they do, they will be a high priority and get offered for Work if any are available.

Rumor has it, they would need to recompile the client to offer a specific choice, which would still just be a hint.

So take this time to configure your computer so when our aid is needed you are ready.

(The idle selection I am used to just means that F@H only runs when the computer is otherwise idle)

My GPUs have been folding for months. Suddenly yesterday I noticed they had stopped. Solutiion:
On the FAHControl app
Status tab
Folding Slots
Slot 01 Status is yellow reads: "Pause waiting for Idle" instead of green: "Running"
Click on the yellowed out status. Pull down the menu and note that Idle is checked. Click on that and it will switch back to Green Ready and be folding again.

@JimboPalmer: If they recompile the client please tell them to include the FahViewer.exe from FahClient 7.4.4 which can show proteins of FahCore_22 GPU work units successfully.

I have no contact with 'them', which as far as I know is one guy named Joseph Coffland.
