openSuse 15.3
i5-7400 3 GHz (4 cores)
16 MB RAM
15:43:44: GPU 1: Bus:1 Slot:0 Func:0 NVIDIA:3 GK208B [GeForce GT 730] 692.7
15:43:44: CUDA Device 0: Platform:0 Device:0 Bus:1 Slot:0 Compute:3.5 Driver:11.4
The PC stays on during about 12 hours a day.
Delay is always equal to 3 days. All computing are lost.
Rarely, delay is equal to 5 days.
This PC with this Nvidia card needs 5 days.

Is it possible that the PC may remain on with screen locked when not in use?

Yes, but the PC is in my room, then when I go to sleep I stop it.

So the problem is yours. If you lock & blank the screen (or just turn off the monitor) it should not bother you, but will still run and process the project WU. If you turn it off then the WU is lost.
Seems an easy choice to me.

Two choices :
- let the PC run 24/7
- replace your GPU with a good one.

Your card is still supported, as it does 64 bit Floating point math and supports OpenCL 1.2 or higher. (Nvidia has dropped support for your card)
However, it is a very slow card that may not be actually helping the researchers. If you can't run it 24/7, I would not fold on that card.
(Because, in general, researchers have folded simple proteins first, all future proteins are likely to be more complex)
