	Something strange has happened to my PC today. After strange errors from the NVidia driver, I decided to install newest one (and updated BOINC to 7.0.56), but all my CUDA tasks continue to error out with EXIT_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED error, and I see crazy times on my GF9800GT, like 1min (normally tasks are 15-25min). http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=2876991557 It's for the first time, and I don't know what to do. Do I need to abort all cuda tasks? ____________ Windows: "Where do you want to go today?" Linux: "Where do you want to go tomorrow?" FreeBSD: "Are you guys coming, or what?"

	Did you just update BOINC to one of the newer versions? I had the same happen when I moved from 7.0.28 to 7.0.56 the other day. My solution was to roll back to 7.0.28 and expected durations went back to the "normal" values. ____________ Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe?

	In will repost Claggys answer to me when I had the same problem: This is because of a change in Boinc 7.0.33, the flops value for GPU tasks gets increased by by times 10 (when no flops values have been supplied in the app_info), existing GPU tasks will be put on the verge of going Maximum time exceeded: client: when estimating FLOPS for an anonymous-platform app version for which no estimate has been supplied by user, use (CPU speed)(cpu_usage + 10gpu_usage) (--> add the 10*) Fresh GPU tasks will get revised <rsc_fpops_est> and <rsc_fpops_bound> values and will complete O.K, you can eithier reset the project and get your tasks resent, or use the -177 protection option in BoincRecheduler (but that'll mess up the time estimates) I reset the project and everything was OK after that. ____________

	Thanks, reseting the project. I hope new tasks will be ok. ____________ Windows: "Where do you want to go today?" Linux: "Where do you want to go tomorrow?" FreeBSD: "Are you guys coming, or what?"

	Thanks, reseting the project. I hope new tasks will be ok. They should be, it is because you were trying to complete GPU tasks with the new version of BOINC that had been started in a version prior to 7.0.33 Anyone else reading this who hasn't upgraded above BOINC 7.0.33, and who has no flops values supplied in the app_info, set NNT and run down you GPU tasks before upgrading, after which all new GPU task will be OK ____________

	It's working normally now, thanks again. :) ____________ Windows: "Where do you want to go today?" Linux: "Where do you want to go tomorrow?" FreeBSD: "Are you guys coming, or what?"
