The only problem I see ( and it would NOT be causing GPU tasks to error out) is that you allow the GPU to crunch while the user is active at the keyboard. This setting causes many computers to become unresponsive. Of course YMMV. BOINC WIKI |

Okay, here is something I notice. First off, if I Uninstall Boinc, remove all folders then reinstall, it works fine until I shut my computer off. When I restart I start getting the errors. Next thing I noticed but I'm not sure yet, it seems that when I see the errors start, the WU's usually start out at 13.99%, if I suspend that current WU (the one that is about ready to have an error) then BOINC will skip to the next WU and complete it without any errors.... |

I guess its info for whoever got their crayon out and wrote the programming for BOINC. They don't seem to be too ontop of trying to fix the problems that everyone keeps talking about on these message boards. |

OK, so a quick check show you are using a BETA version of the Nvidia driver, so roll back to the current advised production version. Nvidia advise for your card you use version 301.42. If you run Beta version you must expect problems, they are sent out by manufacturers as a cheap way of stress testing.

If you run Beta version you must expect problems, they are sent out by manufacturers as a cheap way of stress testing. I've tried all versions of Nvidia from 2xx to 3xx. Currently on the beta 306. It seems to have stabilized somewhat. It running some WUs. It still seems to be encountering errors when it finishes up and changes to new WUs. I don't know if it is helping but I manually snooze the cpu before I shut the computer off. WUs start up again when I turn the computer back on without the error. I don't know what is going on, they definitely have some glitches in the matrix. I don't know what is going on, they definitely have some glitches in the matrix. |

With this having continued through a number of versions I would start to look at the common element - your GPU. The fact that you are saying it is better soon after a restart makes me think this is a thermal problem rather than anything to do with software. GPU are "famous" for being very good dust collectors, and when the cooling fins and fan get coated in dust they run hot. Not quite "too hot", when they shut down, but hot enough to start to throw errors, visually they work OK, but for intensive processing they are just not right. Next time you power down take the card out and give it a good clean (I use a vacuum cleaner on mine every few months).

(I use a vacuum cleaner on mine every few months). Great way to lose a piece of hardware! Vacuum cleaners, especially the hoses and thus mouth-pieces, are famous for building up large amounts of static electricity when they run (suck dust). I'd rather use an old toothbrush and if it's really stuck a toothpick to pick the dust off. |

Dust is not the issue. Brand new card, just installed it about 2 weeks ago. When I mention restarts, I mean turning the computer off and then turning right back on so there is no time for the CPU to cool down. |

I have same geforce 210 card Running windows 7 with 500GB hard drive with 400GB free space. I have 4 GB DDR3 ram ... this video card geforce 210 does not have a fan on it and it gets VERY hot to the touch when Im running basic stuff on the net . It gets what looks like the picture is separating in lines and sliding a little like if you pushed it back up it would make one picture again. The computer completely freezes on me I cant ALT+TAB+DEL to the task have to force power down by holding the power button and restart it. I too am getting the 0000005 error whatever it is when it does it. Im pretty sure it has something to do with this card or GPU however possibly overheating? I take my card out and I get no errors my computer runs fine. I am running Avg internet security for virus... spybot S&D... and Malwarebytes Anti-Maleware...If not the card overheating its causing an error writing back to memory or something to that effect. Would love to hear anyone elses opinions or ideas on how to fix this issue I too JUST bought my card about a month ago and I think they are putting out some stinkers. |

What does any of this have to do with Seti or BOINC? You have no computers attached to the project. |

The 210 I have has a small fan, it is the 1 gig DDR3 card. It was on sale for only $30 from CompUSA. If you want to keep your current card, I think you can buy an auxillary fan for you tower. Check out Compusa, they always have stuff on sale. |

Okay, here is something I notice. First off, if I Uninstall Boinc, remove all folders then reinstall, it works fine until I shut my computer off. Maybe something is not fully loaded (after computer restart) when BOINC try to start the apps. (What happens if you restart BOINC without restarting the computer?) You may try in cc_config.xml <cc_config> <options> <start_delay>33</start_delay> </options> </cc_config> Did you possibly have set to sleep your HDD after a short period (1 minute)?

Nope, don't have the power setting set to put the HDD to sleep. The only thing I have it set for is the BOINC screensaver. Maybe I should point in another direction. I have both Norton and Microsoft AntiVirus installed on this machine. I exluded the BOINC directories from the scans but maybe I'm missing something. |
