Folding@home - Nvidia GPU won't fold

Hello,

I recently installed Folding@home as shown here: Arch Wiki instructions, however despite getting my CPU to work my GPU refuses to start folding.  I've tried messing with some settings in the FAH controls as well as reinstalling it, but all to no avail.  I believe I have all the dependencies required and Folding@home can find my GPU and attempts to start it folding, but it just can't seem to do it.

Technical details:

GPU:                 GTX 1060  (Shown in F@h as GPU:0:GP106 [GEFORCE GTX 1060 6GB] 4372)
Nvidia Driver:     430.26
CUDA Version:   10.2  (I have opencl-nvidia as well)

Checking the log with this command:

$ tail /opt/fah/log.txt

tends to produce the following:

17:31:41:WU01:FS01:Core PID:6440
17:31:41:WU01:FS01:FahCore 0x21 started

17:31:51:WU02:FS00:0xa7:Completed 800000 out of 2500000 steps (32%)

My suspicion is a driver issue but I'm unsure and so am looking to see if anyone here has any ideas as to what could be wrong?

Thanks
