So the latest status is that Intel GPU is detected by Boinc but no crunching on it.

Actually BOINC has not detected your iGPU. I think you might have mistaken this line for the iGPU.

27/03/2015 20:38:56 | | OpenCL CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz (OpenCL driver vendor: Intel(R) Corporation, driver version 3.0.1.10878, device version OpenCL 1.2 (Build 76413))

Which is just the CPU. Also a good way to tell is by the messages stating there is no iGPU.

27/03/2015 20:38:56 | | app version refers to missing GPU type intel_gpu

If BOINC had detected the iGPU you would see something along the lines of this:
3/27/2015 3:13:02 PM OpenCL: Intel GPU 0: Intel(R) HD Graphics 2500 (driver version 10.18.10.4061, device version OpenCL 1.2, 1298MB, 1298MB available, 53 GFLOPS peak)
3/27/2015 3:13:02 PM OpenCL CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz (OpenCL driver vendor: Intel(R) Corporation, driver version 3.0.1.10878, device version OpenCL 1.2 (Build 76413))

Ok. So boinc does not detect the intel gpu. However the Intel gpu is now showing on the device manager among installed devices.

from gpu-z

rops 4 / tmu 8
shaders 16
picel fillrate 2.6gpxels/s
ddr3 bus with 128bit
memory size 0MB

gpu clock 650mhz
memory clock 933mhz
multi-gpu disabled

open cl is unchecked

Then try installing the GPU driver now.

You may need to reload the graphics driver. OpenCL is required to crunch.

which of these should i download and install?

OUCH. None of those - those are for developers, not end users. What OS were you running again?

You were looking at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24593, which is a pretty good one. Go back and read what I wrote at message 1654640 - with the GPU enabled in BIOS, that should work now.

I just followed the rules and the intel drivers for IGPU are installed. The question is should some additional drivers in addition to the standard device drivers be installed?

You may find that a monitor needs to be connected to the iGPU output, and/or the Windows desktop extended to include the iGPU. Claggy is the expert on this.

This is what I am afraid of. Getting a connector to the igpu port. I hope it does not need to be permanent.

I found that I only had to extended the desktop when starting BOINC. Once BOINC was running I could switch back to a normal desktop until I restarted the system or BOINC.

I found an extra HDMI cable. Intel graphics settings popped up after plugging it in. Then a boinc restart did the trick. I changed config so that it runs only one WU at a time. Previously the config was set to 3. A long time (calendar-wise) to get the Intel IGPU working. Thank you for your help. Now it will be easier to replicate the process for the next workstation.

In hindsight I would summarize it into 3 key steps prior running Boinc:
1. Enable the IGPU in bios.
2. Install the drivers.
3. Connect the HDMI port.

Step 1. took longest time to work out.

That's a useful summary - thanks, Mark. Well done on getting there in the end.

I installed the drivers on another workstation. The Intel IGPU errors out.
I temporarily connected the HDMI port to activate the IGPU when starting boinc and disconnected it from the monitor. Does the HDMI need to be connected all the time for the computation to work?
