	All has been going quite well, until this arvo, Australian time when a run of wus decided to run for 5 secs and then die. Card is a gigabyte GTS 250 1GB mem, running on XP pro on an E6850 3Ghz. Driver version 190.38. Have had the occasional failure in the past, but not a run like today's. Should I switch back to the 2.2 recommended driver?

	First thing I'd try is a reboot. And to check GPU-Temperatures, would be a shame if the fan failed or something. And apparently you already downgraded to 185.85, which should work. Guess we'll see in 24h. MrS ____________ Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002

	I'd suggest you upgrade to BOINC 6.6.37 or 38. There are fixes in it for some cuda initialisation. Apparently you are running 6.6.28? I have 4 GTS250's crunching quite happily, without errors for GPUgrid. Greetings from Sydney's eastern suburbs. ____________ BOINC blog
