(Message 1575985) Posted 22 Sep 2014 by Aaron7 Post: CPU only works fine. I'm 100% sure it's a driver issue with the ATI software as that's the only common denominator between both systems having issues! Like I said in the initial post, both systems have fresh updated installations of Windows, drivers, and the Boinc software.

(Message 1575002) Posted 20 Sep 2014 by Aaron7 Post: No no, I meant the problem will happen regardless of when I start Boinc. If I disable the two entries for it in MSCONFIG the PC boots and behaves normally. I will check event viewer later at work today and let you know, but I do know it's the video driver that's crashing as I did see that error once before the screen went black. That's why I tried a fresh install of everything to see if it was corruption; but it wasn't. Wasn't sure if there were known issues with the newest ATI drivers or anything like that.

(Message 1574568) Posted 19 Sep 2014 by Aaron7 Post: I have tried setting the program to both "Run always" or "Run when idle" but that made no difference. I know what lag you speak of when referring to bootup and program loading, but this isn't that. By lagging I mean the system is barely usable before it hangs fully. Power supply on System 1 is a 700w PCP&C unit; more than sufficient. Power supply on System 2 is a basic 450w; also sufficient. I should also state that NO other 3D programs or games cause EITHER system to crash or behave abnormally! Furmark & Crysis... work fine.

(Message 1574314) Posted 19 Sep 2014 by Aaron7 Post: I've been having this problem for some time now and it's caused me to stop running Seti here on my work computers :( I have two systems that are on 24/7. One I built just for Seti, my other is my workstation. Specs are outlined below for reference. Both systems have fresh installations of Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit SP1 with all the updates and Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus. Everything is up to date and nothing is running in the background. Zero chance of infection. Both systems have driver version 14.1 (CCC ver 14.6) which is the newest from ATI/AMD's site. I did also try the newest beta driver, 14.2 (CCC ver 14.7), with no change. The systems boot up normally and the client loads in the system tray with a red mark to show that it's still loading. Soon as the pause mark goes away the system starts lagging badly. Very soon after, the screen goes black and you're left with a frozen cursor. The CPU and GPU fans still ramp up and down and there seems to be hard disk activity every now and then, but as far as I can tell the system is hung. Nothing changes if you wait even for days. One time I did see a popup from either Windows or AMD that said the display driver had stopped responding and was recovered. I'd chalk this up to some incompatibility with the system or its drivers and the Boinc software but I have TWO that do the same thing! Neither system is overheating either! Are there logs I can check to possibly find the solution? System specs: System 1: Asus P5Q-E Intel Core2Quad Q9400 (stock clock, Zalman cooler, new paste) 8gb DDR2 Sandisk Ultra 120gb SSD 2x AMD Radeon HD 5770 1gb in Crossfire System 2: Foxconn A74ML-K AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ (stock clock, stock cooler, new paste) 4gb DDR2 WD Velociraptor 80gb AMD Radeon HD R5 230 2gb
