You can check your cpu-load with windows task manager and the gpu-load with gpu-z.
TV-card sw normally makes heavy use ether of the cpu or uses the gpu. If your load is very high it will result in unstable picture and sound and video up to 5 seconds apart.
Sorry to say that, but 208GFLOP GPU and TV and GPU-wu's are not the best combination ..

One other thing..the NEWEST project requirements are "* BOINC 7.0.27 (and newer)". I found it in the News section.

We lowered that to 7.0.25 for the time being as newer versions had some problems detection OpenCL cards.

The program doesn't think so...I JUST attached to Albert with another of my pc's and got a message saying that my version of 7.0.25 was insufficient, I upgraded to version 7.0.28 and it downloaded a new unit just fine. Of course the message is gone now! Okay I just attached from another pc and got his:
"7/7/2012 7:52:23 AM | Albert@Home | Message from server: Newer BOINC version required; please install current version"! This pc too is on version 7.0.25. In the Notices area of Boinc I got two new notices, one saying you have a new BRP and one saying I must upgrade to a newer version of Boinc. The Project IS attached but NO units were downloaded, if I upgrade to 7.0.28 one new unit WILL download and be ready to run! So somehow the Server isn't doing what it is supposed to do.

I know you are going to ask so here is the FIRST line of my latest pc, Backup2 to me:
"6/14/2012 3:26:54 AM | | Starting BOINC client version 7.0.25 for windows_x86_64"

and here is the offending line:
"7/7/2012 7:52:23 AM | Albert@Home | Message from server: Newer BOINC version required; please install current version"

NO the pc has NOT been restarted since June 14th. The pc is a Boinc ONLY machine, as are most of mine.

Oops, indeed. My statement does only apply for Mac OSX. For Windows and Linux, 7.0.25 won't do. But now 7.0.28 is the officially recommended version.

Sorry for the confusion.
