Have you installed or updated any other software lately?

Cheers.




Might have been a couple new GPUGRID, thought it was SETI because they hit computation errors during the graphics card driver failures. But, seems to be running the SETI fine right now.


Well, I confirmed it; looks as though under GPUGRID v8.14 (cuda55) Long runs - if your PC has an abnormal restart for any reason and the BOINC Manager doesn't suspend the jobs normally - the jobs become corrupt and have to be Aborted. Not only that - something gets so disjointed, you have to Reset the Project to clear it - otherwise any new jobs for the same app will constantly reset the video card driver, aptly named a video card driver death loop until BSOD.

Sorry to get folks worried; I couldn't find a way to archive or delete my thread; but, at least you are able to see the resolution - albeit for another project.

Thanks!

Hmmm...

Will keep an eye on it.
Thx

Hey Folks...

My system just pulled a bunch of new files, and my system immediately began continuously crashing the video driver. It's definitely not normal; I've been running on this driver since mid-Nov, and using the newer BOINC Manager v7.2.33 (x64).

Thought I would see if anyone else was having this issue. I currently have SETI suspended, and didn't want to abort anything if I could figure out how to get it fixed and retry it.

Thanks!

Hey All...

After a lot of hair pulling, and article searching - I followed the example below, and got my system working also; but, am wondering if I should retune for the settings for my system? Could someone please advise me on what might be good settings to use?

I'm running GPUGRID, MilkyWay, SETI@HOME, and World Community Grid. SETI@HOME was the only one giving me fits, and the only one that I tuned using the app_config with the settings; but, I think I could probably tune it slightly differently, as I have the GeForce GTX 690, which is a dual-GPU card, and was causing the cuda_fermi to have fits before the tuning.

It only appears to run a single task at a time; but, it doesn't give Computation Errors anymore though. I had also tried the Environment variable tweak listed in another thread.

I am running the new client also (7.0.64). Any thoughts/suggestions on more efficient running of the WUs would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Paul


THANKS ALL!
I followed all advices and made it work!

I did some testing and found that the optimal is:
On my EVGA GeForce GT630 1GB on Intel E5400 2.7 (2):
3 tasks on GPU + 2 on CPU: 92% GPU load, 800mbGPU used 69C
From initial:
1 tasks on GPU + 2 on CPU: 73% GPU load 450mbGPU used

With:
<app_config>

<app>
<name>setiathome_enhanced</name>
<max_concurrent>5</max_concurrent>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.33</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>0.2</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
