I think it's back again: 27-KASHIF_HIVPR_n1_for_ba3-3-100-RND1309-0 It's been running for 23:41 and is 14% complete and the time to completion keeps going up. Anyone else having this problem again? Since I have a slower card apparently (quadro FX3700) aborting this kind of thing really hurts. ID: 9820 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 16 May 2009, 9:16:23 UTC Yup, upgrading will resolve the never ending WU issue. Just to introduce another one; the ever crashing WU. For me, the problem seems to be aggravated the last 24 hours... (3 subsequently crashing WU's). Apparently older GPU's aren't tested anymore; my 8800GT ran usefully for about 50% during last week...

They do test with older GPUs and there's light at the end of the tunnel. MrS Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002 ID: 9834 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

ETA, you're right, I missed the progress on that thread. I hope you or nvidia will sort out the problems... Sorry for the temporary overflow of my patience buffer... I've assigned some more buffer space to give you guys some slack... ;o) ID: 9837 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

All your errors are due to the dreaded KASHIF_HIVPR and the new even more dreaded xxx-GIANNI_FB WUs here: http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=1064 ID: 9840 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
