BOINC is using my computer's default local preferences for computing instead of BAM! settings. I mostly sure that I haven't changed any local settings, so I'm not sure why it's not using BAM.

What should I look for? (See below for event log)

It says it has preferences from BAM!
You might want to go to your machine in BAM! and see if the BAM! preferences are chosen.
Newer BOINC versions introduced two sets of prefs, which the older versions didn't provide you with.
This might affect your BOINC experience.

Also, if you look at the preferences in your BOINC Manager, you should see which prefs are used.

My problem was I never picked a Work preference for my host in BAM. I had a Work Preference set up, but never assigned it to my host.

I went to:
Host -> [Machine who's preferences I wanted to edit] -> Edit -> Work preference -> [Work preference I want to assign]

Thank you for your help!

You're welcome!
