I see you have a few mid-run failures over the past several days.

- exit code 98 (0x62)

ERROR: get_Dvec() element 0 (b)
called boinc_finish

This might be related to a problem discussed in this thread.

Alternatively, you might have a system or GPU issue.
When you get a grouping of failures such as you did, it's usually a good idea to restart your system. Check your systems temps, fan speed and if you are overclocking reduce it a bit. Are you using fan/temperature controlling software such as EVGA Precision or MSI Afterburner?

Hi skgiven,

I restarted the system yestrarday morning and since then I had no errors.
5 WU completed and validated.

At the moment I am using boinc version: <core_client_version>6.12.34</core_client_version>

gpuz:
GPU Core Clock: 781.1 MHz
GPU Memory Clock: 1002.0 MHz
GPU Shader Clock: 1564.0 MHz
GPU Temperature: 65.9 C
FAN Speed: 26%
GPU Load: 69%
VDDC: 1.0630 V

I am using factory defaults.

Graphic card: ASUS GTX 580 DirectCU II
Fan Control: Asus provide the application Asus Smartdoctor. On the Fan control tab, the "auto fan control" is set.

So I think it was only windows.
the only difference this time is that I waited 1 minute before logging in. (just to give time windows to load all the drivers)

I waited, because I 've already had issues with windows 7 on my laptop and vpn.
If I log immediatly then the cisco vpn doesn't work. (I have to wait 15 seconds to have no problems. (SSD and i5)). This is why I waited 1 minute on my desktop. The disk is no so fast and the procesor is a Q9550

Best regards,
Alejandro
