After the scheduler crash, one of my rigs has now slowly started to receive GPU work, and I have observed that one of the GPU has been consistently completing the work in about 15 seconds with -9 result overflow, as seen from the task list. The other seems to be crunching fine. Would it mean that there is something wrong in the hardware or has it got to do with the settings? Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

After a crash, the GPU can be left in an inconsistent state, with memory corruption. The best thing to do is to reboot the computer, as soon as possible. That normally restores normal service. |

I hope that is indeed the case. I have rebooted the system, now to wait and see. Thanks Richard. |

Uh, Richard, he said the Scheduler crash, not his rig. Restarting won't hurt, though.

Well I tried restarting but no luck. One GPU (card 2) is going through the CUDA WUs in 15 seconds while the other (GPU 1) is crunching fine. I stuck this GPU in another rig and the display was all faded out. I am now guessing that the card itself is giving out. I have taken it 'off the production' line until I can figure this out over the weekend. Eidt: The event log says 'no usable GPUs found'. |
