Posted 23 Dec 2008 by ![]() Post: Well the drivers now gone, and my nvidia control pannel is on the fritz, so attempting a system restore to see if that fixes the problem. I still haven't seen the error message pop back up |

Posted 23 Dec 2008 by ![]() Post: Sorry to hear. But at least a laptop is easier to take along when running for a flood... not that it's as important as photos and papers... or kids. :-) Very Very True :) and the 5 dogs, 4 cats, 1 rabbit, 4 turtles :) Luckly the very heavy desktop was on the second floor, wouldn't have floated anywhere, but I doubt that kind of water would have been acceptable for a watercooler :) |

Posted 23 Dec 2008 by ![]() Post: I build my own computers normaly, but the laptop was a special treat after the floods here in Iowa, myself and my family lost most everything we owned, so I figured I'd spoil myself and buy a computer instead of building another one. |

Posted 23 Dec 2008 by ![]() Post: Thank god, don't have to worry about the opening voiding the warrenty though, to change memory or swap drives you have to take the whole underside of the computer off anyway, and instructions are in the book for it, vauge, but in their so no worries their. Just to be on the safe side though, I've removed the driver and went back to the original one. Nice to know what the thing has under the hood though lol. Thanks though Jord, Hopefully your right and it's just the driver doing it, it did it once and hasn't since. I haven't noticed any games going crazy so I think I'm clear. |

Posted 23 Dec 2008 by ![]() Post: Okay got it open, if anyone could see anything capacitors on these cards they way their installed I would be amazed. Can't see anything with this config. Except a lot more dust on the dual fans then I thought their would be after only 4 months. |

Posted 23 Dec 2008 by ![]() Post: It has Nvidia GF8700m Gt's x 2. Their supposed to be stand alone cards. All the programs read as Sli. I made sure it wasn't installed as a service. Had to reload it the other day. Now I'm freaking out and trying to very very carfully open this thing up to look at the cards... not sure the warrenty will cover this event or not. |

Posted 23 Dec 2008 by ![]() Post: If you start getting a message that your NVLDDMKM driver has quit and recovered and you are using and EVGY GT graphics card. Open your computer and check the graphics card for ruptured capacitors. I run six multi core computers and I have had to shut down BOINC on three of them that had the 8 and 9 series GeFORCE GT cards after switching over to the new software. Good god I hope not, $3,000 laptop. It has Nvidia GF8700m Gt's x 2. Hear of any problems with those? Otherwise the cuda driver's getting the boot real fast. |

Posted 23 Dec 2008 by ![]() Post: First of all, soorrryy for posting on the wrong forum, i've only been up for 27 hours taking care of a family member whom had surgery. It only detects 1 card. Doesn't matter if sli is enabled or disabled, and yes reboot is required. Shows 1 cuda device found. I'm also judging the time by the percentage shown, and no, not faster. Could be the batch of wu's, this is possible. Okay, good to know the timer is somewhat flawed. |

Posted 23 Dec 2008 by ![]() Post: Okay a few questions... With the cuda active, it only allows 1 wu to run at a time, I have a dual core cpu and dual video cards running in sli. I've also tried it with the sli disabled, and no change. Second, the timer is really really wrong. My first wu with cuda said it took around 4 minutes to complete.. when in reality it was more like 1 - 1 1/2 hours. It's doing the same thing with the next wu also. Third, It seemed so much faster without the cuda running. The dual cores could kick out 2 wu in about an 1 - 2 hours. Now that it's only letting me run one at a time, and taking longer for that one, I don't get the hype. Can someone help me understand this, is their a seting, a bug, a glich, anything? |

Posted 1 Jan 2007 by ![]() Post: If you look around the board a bit you will see many threads discussing that Seti has been having problems all day. Unfortunately, the Seti servers seem to always pick a long weekend, when there is no one to fix it, to go flaky. Ah I see. Thanks Aurora. I thought maybe it was just my computer being evil again. It does that from time to time. Good to know that it's not just that. It figures it would do this on a long weekend as you said. |

Posted 29 Dec 2006 by ![]() Post: Okay about the overflow error, it said results overflowed by 9 or something like that, is their any setting I need to change? Yeah, I don't have the overheating problem beings I'm running 13 fans in my computer, it never gets over 127F. The overclocking might be the problem on it, I haven't had any problems with it on overclocking other then that. I guess all things considered, 1 or 2 out of 75 or so isn't too bad of a deal. It's a great deal when you add in the fact I'm running a pentium 4 2.8ghz at an overclock of 3.6ghz with no problems. Although... I added some memory and it sent my computer into a seizure, and apparently did a little more then boost the memory |
