Has the team been sending out crap just to fill in our time?? My tasks have 977 invalid, 664 error and 2988 pending. I don't think my numbers have ever been this high before. Anyone know whats up with that??? Also my RAC has dropped from 29,000+ to 10,000-, Again anyone tell what's wrong? Chuck |

Since your computers are hidden not much we can tell. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

And until you un-hide your computer/s just suspend all SETI work. ;) Cheers. |

Has the team been sending out crap just to fill in our time?? Same thing happened to me. It was a faulty gtx 295. From the time i removed it from my pc the invalid tasks started to drop. Check at your tasks if the invalids are from the same source. |

I have unhidden my computers. Hope you have some time to look. Thanks Chuck |

Hm... you running stock CUDA app. You could try to install last optimized NV GPU app via Lunatics installer. At least that new build can be more verbose and could report what is wrong... |

I have unhidden my computers. Hope you have some time to look. I did a quick check of your most recent invalids - they are all coming off the GTX 570, giving way more spikes and sometimes more pulses than your wingmen. There are also some -9 overflow messages, where the card found 30 or more signals. There are a couple of threads here with suggestions on what to check, and how. Usually it is either high gpu core temps, memory issues, or a bad gpu. I'm sure others will chime in with more specifics. Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

Your RAC dropped because of all the invalids and errors. Once those are ironed out, things will start climbing again. Have you tried rebooting both machines to clear out the memory? What sort of temps are the GPUs running at? When did you upgrade to the 27x.xx drivers on those boxes? Any correlation to the start of the invalids/errors? As Raistmer suggested, the Lunatics opti apps are suggested and will increase the processing speed, however they will increase temps and usage of the GPUs and are not set and forget. Dan |

And, just to state the obvious: Has the team been sending out crap just to fill in our time?? No, the team hasn't been sending out crap. The errors and invalids are specific to your machines: other people have been completing the same tasks successfully. As other people have said, look to heat problems, overclocking (if any) gone bad, and memory or power issues. |

Thanks guys, will try the upgrade for the GPU. I have been running it overclocked and try to keep the temp below 80. Chuck |

Thanks guys, will try the upgrade for the GPU. I have been running it overclocked and try to keep the temp below 80. Go back to stock speed & see if the errors continue. No amount of driver or application updating will help when the hardware is at fault. Grant Darwin NT |

Did you check for dust bunnies ? Cleaning the fan sometimes do wonders. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |
