Very likely because it does not have a full driver installed. I would try reinstalling the NVidia driver for your card and see if BOINC doesn't pick it up then.

Has it always been this way?
Your computer was created on 13 June 2020
I am guessing this is a laptop?
You could check in control panel - hardware and sound - device manager : to see if there is a problem there
If you can access the BIOS, give that a go
I don't know how changing drivers may help, but maybe try that? - if it is a laptop best to use the manufacturer's recommended update.
Or if you want to throw caution to the wind (probably don't do this):

I don't know - someone should hopefully post more useful advice soon

Avoid using the GPU on a laptop. Stick only to light work like seiving to limit heat output. Laptops are not designed for intensive processing the same way desktops are. |

Can you save your data and re-install windows from scratch? |

You can do a clean reinstall on a different windows partition without deleting your data, also I suggest you revert to the NV driver version Rather than use the OEM's driver.

From the Your account, hit Community preferences (just above your badges)
You will find how to add an image and a signature
My avatar is just under 25 KB so you can upload an image of that data size
I use the same image for 2 things - so in case I've said the wrong one - the other place to find add an image is from Your account and in the top right of the page is Create profile. I have view profile - I think if you do not have one it will be create profile |
