I run the 185.xx driver since the installation of Windows 7 RC 64 Bit at release day. I have no errors except the known KASHIF- and IBUCH-WU.

My System:

8800GT @ stock 515 MB
Windows 7 64Bit
Boinc 6.6.28

Now with 182.5 driver on 1 GTX 260 + 1 8800 GT, and boinc 6.6.2 I have 0 error.

If I update graphic driver(185.85), I have 100% errors.

Host : 8400, vista 64.


As I mentioned above it doesn't look like the new drivers install correctly, at least under XP.

If you go into the Nvidia control panel and click on the System Information link, (or Help -> System information) does it say its running 185.85 or an earlier version?

I run the 185.85 under Vista with a 8800 GTS and all but 2 WU´s recently finished fine.
Even a new 10000 credit WU KASHIF_HIVPR_dim.

The only task type failing was 1 2 KASHIF_HIVPR_n1.

I've had a 105-GIANNI_FB WU fail out on my GTS250 (G92b) on 185.85 with Boinc 6.6.28.

http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=676567

The error is below:

WARNING: parameters.cu, line 568: Found zero 10-12 H-bond term.
WARNING: parameters.cu, line 568: Found zero 10-12 H-bond term.
MDIO ERROR: cannot open file "restart.coor"

Well to be honest it is recommended you first uninstall the old drivers and boot you system set to vga screen.
I normally do this and also clean my system from nvidia residu ( very advised also by nvidia ).
But sometimes i forget to clean up and sometimes end up with some weird problems with the drivers.
To be honest i do this no matter which brand i use ati or nvidia i allways clean my system with some tools to get the old crap off my system.

Fedora 10 (64bit) - gtx260

After installing 185.18.14 all WU's failed with compute errors. Switching back fixed the failure problems.
