I got a message from another member asking me to check one of my computers 6995778 as it was causing a lot of inconclusive results and invalid results. When I checked, It only has a few invalid results. Is it possible that the results he referred to have rolled off? Will an inconclusive result always show up as an invalid result for me if my calculation was wrong?

Inconclusive results are not a problem in themselves.
Invalid results can be an indication that there is a problem with a computer - one every few weeks is "nothing to worry about", but if you start to see large numbers then it is worth taking a deeper look. There is a lot of guidance in "number crunching" as to what to look for such as possible hardware conflicts, driver conflicts, hardware that is failing.
Given that you currently have one "invalid" task I would keep a close eye on that computer and make sure you don't start to see a large number of them in a short period of time (a day or so).

Base Clock (MHz) 980

Your GeForce GTX 660

"Kepler GPU current clockRate = 1149 MHz"


Too much Overclock may lead to wrong Computing (usually false/more 'signals' found)
(other bad factors may be heat/temperature and unstable or low voltage (weak PSU))

The same WU done on other computer with GeForce GTX 550 Ti found one less 'Autocorr' (the same is true for a few other Stderr I looked at in your list of 'Validation inconclusive (127)'):

The first thing to try is to return GPU to the 'normal' MHz

(and yes, the results in categories: 'Valid (120) · Invalid (1)' will vanish from the web pages after ~24 h)

Thanks for the detailed information.I will start looking at my GPU setups.

Thanks, I am going to keep an eye on them for a while and see if it continues. Another person suggested I check the speeds on the GPU to reset them to normal. I had someone else build these for me and don't know if they overclocked them.
