Ok for some reason the GTX550Ti's on my Q6600 have suddenly stopped crunching.

The tasks running at the time become suspended and no matter how many restarts that I do I can't get the GPU's to start crunching again, here's my start up log.

I hope that someone can come up with something that I havn't thought of.

Tripple check that "Use GPU while computer is in use" is ticked on your local preferences?

It most certainly is ticked.

The strange part is that it just stopped using the GPU's mid crunch.

Cheers.

Your AV programme hasn't clobbered any of the GPU files?
Double checked your app_info file isn't corrupted concerning the GPU settings? (although i can't see that killing things mid crunch).
You don't have anything set to update automatically?

Well after checking out everything that I could I just bit the bullet and reinstalled drivers, BOINC & opp app's so both GPU's are working fine again but it has me stumped what went wrong.

Thanks for the assistance anyway.

Cheers.
