Today i notice that my computer with id 5867601 has too many invalids. Is this normal? This is caused by the wu's, or something with my gpus? Tim |

You find to many signals. Indicates dust bunnies or heat problem. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Just check the temps of your cards. I dont know they are water cooled or not. I´m not a nvidia guy but too many signals indicates that. Edit: It seems only device 5 has this problem. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Today i notice that my computer with id 5867601 has too many invalids. How many WUs are you running on each GTX295 (device 5)? I was having the same or similar errors until I reduced the number of WUs on my GTX460SE. I seems that with the increased vram and the high GPu usage that was causing a lot of the errors that I was getting, expecially when using the machine for anything else. I also have unchecked the box to use the GPU when the computer in is use. This allows me to use the machine for other purposes, such as games, crusing the internet, etc. I would also check to see if there are any dust bunnies that might be causing your card to run warm to hot and that could also cause errors. Even though it is air cooled dust can still accumulate in the radiator behind the fan. or the fan blades might need cleaning. |

Today i notice that my computer with id 5867601 has too many invalids. I run only one wu, with no overclocking. I already removed the device 5, so i will wait and see. |

I checked your first 10 errors also. you have a lot of -12 and -177. Yes, it is the same gtx 295 (device 4 and 5). It is out of the system now,and i just wait for those pendings to clear. |

Not sure about the -5 errors, but I started getting a lot of -177 and -12 errors on my old 8800 a few months back. Ended up being bad vRAM on the card. Had to RMA it with eVGA. If you find nothing obvious check your power supply and stress test the card. Traveling through space at ~67,000mph! |
