Well I dunno whats happened but the last 16 work units have errored out. I went back from 6.6.3 to 6.5.0 as it was not getting any new work, but its not helping. I cant carry on like this its ridiculous. So I'm suspending any new work for the time being. | |

I've got the same problem but with my slower card only, the 8800GTS. It did one 6.62 application with Boinc 6.6.3 and one when I went back to 6.5.0 but since the February 1st it hasn't been able to complete a single task successfully. | |

So far the 8800GT OC Card I'm running has been okay with the 6.62 Version, are you both running the 181.22 Nvidia Drivers ... ??? | |

No. I'm still running 178.24 after an abortive try of 180.48 last year. Since going back to 178.24 I've had no problems until Feb 1st so I am not sure that is the answer. Of course 6.62 may be using features only in the 181.22 drivers but I've not seen any posts to that effect. | |

I know you meant to say 8600 GTS...;) ____________ Consciousness: That annoying time between naps...... Experience is a wonderful thing: it enables you to recognize a mistake every time you repeat it. | |

I'm running 181.20 + reverted back from 6.6.3 to 6.5.0 | |

Well, it has failed again and I'm downloading 181.22 so we'll see how that goes with Boinc 6.6.4 first. First task failed within 30 minutes! Second one is still running after 40 minutes. If this fails I'll try another gpu project to see if it could be the card has developed a fault. I don't really want to swap cards with GTX260 as it was such a fiddle getting that one in the box due to its size! Phoneman1 | |

The BOINC manager is not doing the actual crunching, it's the science app and this one is reporting the errors. So don't put too much effort into switching BOINC versions (as long as you use one which is known to work reasonably well, e.g. 6.4.5. or 6.5.0). | |

Thank you MrS. I had forgotten that change. | |

Since a few days ago I'm getting "compute error" but only with the kind of units which grant 3718.48 points. The error units are mainly in the gpu1, but I have two of them made OK in that gpu core. | |

@Chris Yes you are right, it is a factory overclocked card, and I may have been a bit overkeen with the clocking ! I've wound it back some now, ansd reverted to 6.5.0 which seems to be working. Fingers crossed. I should have been able to push the card further but maybe not after all. Seems you were right, thanks for the advice. | |

Good to hear that it's working again! Regarding the "should clock higher": if you compare with typical overclocks you find in forums they are likely not that stable. In games a graphical artefact every now and then doesn't matter much.. | |
