No tasks available for MW@Home? Or just that I sometimes sleep my PC, and that screws it up?

Just curious. My GPU's been pretty idle lately, and it completed the single GPU task for MW@Home that I had buffered a while ago.

Haven't seen any new tasks, usually, there's a continuous stream of them.

Are they out of work, or has the "East Coast Internet issues" caused problems with MW@Home? (I'm on the East Coast.)
 
MW@home has been unreliable for the last few weeks. There are WU sitting there on the server, but for some reason they do not get sent my way. I just cant stand to let my heater sit inactive. I finally gave up and turned my gpu back to primegrid.
 
Not GPU'ing at the moment, so I allowed new MW tasks and updated and immediately began to receive 0 tasks. Downloaded in record time too! Log gives no reason why no tasks were sent.
 
Getting them right now, but it drops off a lot lately, keeping a few other projects open so nothing sits idle.
 
More strangeness. Yesterday, I had a full screen of "Computation Error" on MW@H.

Today, I've got WUs, that are taking 1:10:23 to compute. What gives? Has my GPU given up the ghost?

Or have MW@H WUs just suddenly gone from taking 0:00:13 to 1:10:23?

Task Manager shows "milkyway_1.42_windows_x86_64__opencl_ati_101.exe" running, taking up 28% CPU, on my G4400 @ 4.45Ghz, Windows 10 1607 64-bit.

WU that completed in 01:10:23 is "de_modfit_fast_19_3s_136_bundle5_ModfitConstraints3_4_xxxxxx_xxxxx_0"

Edit: Shut down completely and rebooted, in case something got screwy with the GPU. Still, tasks moving VERY slowly. I keep GPU-Z (newest version) open on the Sensors tab, to monitor load and temps. GPU is barely getting warm, shows idle clocks, with occasional bursts of full speed, but those could be due to my web browsing.

What gives? Some recent update to Win10, hose my AMD GPU / OpenCL drivers?

Edit: Crimson Control Panel, says OpenCL driver 6.14.10.14008. Crimson 16.6?

Edit: I installed "non-whql-win10-64bit-radeon-software-crimson-16.11.3-nov8.exe" from AMD's web site, and when I check the Crimson control panel for Software, it says OpenCL version is 21.19.160.769.

But my MW@H tasks aren't flying by like they used to. GPU clocks are still mostly at idle.

Edit: Overdrive says temp is 40C, fan is at 30%. So the fan's not dead, and it's not overheating. Just not being utilized. Weird.

Thanks! That thread explains the issues pretty well. I'll just wait for the proverbial dust to settle on the project's new apps.

Edit: I'm going to select "No New Tasks" for MW@H in the meantime, though. My current crop of 'em should last a few days at least, running on the CPU, competing for CPU time with my two WCG tasks.
