Anyone else find that if they try to resize the BAM window it bombs out? Then has to be restarted.
Second time its happened to me.. For the life of me I cant see why resizing a program window would cause it to stop and need to be restarted.

Ask the authors (not many people here use BAM)

Sorry my bad, BOINC Manager is the program I'm using.
Same question.

My pc is similar to yours.

Hi LT,
Nowt in log, single monitor, but doing 2 WU per GPU, so maybe that's the problem, next time I try to resize I'll suspend all activity 1st and see what occurs.

I noticed that you are running the latest video driver 344.48.

If there were no problems before switching to this driver, you could revert to an earlier version.

It helps to always select the Custom Install option and click the Clean install box.

edit: I've run as many as 6 mb's at once and 3 ap7's. The 970 doesn't like to "idle" with just one-anything- at a time. My ASUS will downclock and turn the fan off if I do that...

Hi LT,
That's a problem, I'm running GTX970 GPU's and earlier pre 970 series drivers will not install for GTX970 series. Installs error out with 'no suitable' errors.

I got around that problem for a while by installing NV cuda 6.5 and it loaded a prior driver, but then when I upgraded my 2nd GPU to a GTX970 my OS decided to load the 344.48's again.

And installing a driver via CUDA 6.5 doesn't leave a valid driver suite to re-install.

There are two previous drivers that recognize the current 970/980 cards: 344.11 and 344.16.

After a short stint with 344.48, I have gone back to using 344.16 and it is fine.

ps I don't know what "CUDA 6.5" is or why you thought you needed that. The Lunatics app you crunch with doesn't need it.

It Was fine.

344.16 just downclocked on me and I had to restart again to get the card back up to a reasonable speed (Pstate P2). I was crunching 2 ap7's when it idled.

OK, Nvidia needs to fix the drivers for these new cards.

Hi LT,
I installed Nvidias Cuda 6.5 in order to get a pre- 344 driver to install, it installs a pre 334.x driver and that's the only way to install such a driver.

I had problems with 344.11 & 344.16 causing other [non boinc] software to crash.

I don't just install drivers in order to crunch using Lunatics:-)

In any event I'll suspend GPU tasks if I want to try to resize in future and see if BOINC manager still bombs out.
