When I last updated Boinc (6.6.20 seems to be working fine at the mo and with all the discussion probs best not to update!), it said in the installation wizard that GPU computation wouldn't work if you installed Boinc as a service.

Running as a service (running as a daemon or protected application mode) is a security issue with Vista. As far as I know it works under XP and Linux fine.

As for BOINC upgrades there are a few cuda related fixes after 6.6.30 so if you are running windows it might be worthwhile upgrading to 6.6.36.

Here is another case, I have 2 gtx295's that usually run a task 10-12 hours. I was supprised to see this yesterday when both had ran for 22 hours and still has 10-20% to go. I'm running 6.6.31 on vista 32bit 4gb ram.

I have heard of this but this is the first time I have seen it.

Stop and restart BOINC, make sure the science apps stop too ... simplest way is to reboot...

This is the dreaded 6.6.20 issue which though less common on later versions is still there. Worse, a friend actually had it hit him on CPU tasks ... so, it is a core problem that we have no clear idea why it is happening.

If restarting BOINC doesn't help you could / should check if your GPU dropped to 2D clocks (e.g. with GPU-Z).

Anyone can explain me this error:

POLISH NATIONAL TEAM - Join! Crunch! Win!

"incorrect function. (0x1) - exit code 1 (0x1)" with the app being terminated at a random code line. It's the most common error and mostly related to GPU-OC or defective hardware, but there can be other reasons as well.
