Unlucky!
I can empathise, after having to abort task 1796870; it fan for 148674sec (41h), but it was a Beta.

this was not a beta! 6.71 cuda 2.3

Until now still the same problems.

All units cancelled after a few seconds and not only the 6.71 cuda 2.3.

Can someone look at it?

XP - 6.10.18 - gtx295 driver 196.34

I think this may the the line ion the log that the techs can help identify the root cause of the errors from ...

Cuda error: Kernel [shake_step_1] failed in file 'shake.cu' in line 79 : unspecified launch failure.


Are your cards downclocking?
Have you excluded the BOINC directories from your AntiVirus scanning?
Are you running BOINC with the same account you installed it as?
Have you tried removing, cleaning up and reinstalling drivers with a tool like DriverSweeper?

Thanks - Steve

No downclocking.

Installed new driver 196.75 for gtx295.

Job 6.71 cancelled after 6 hours (both)- output file absent.

No problems with boinc-manager.

Stop processing GPUGRID.net???

Stop processing GPUGRID.net???

No.

Have you excluded the BOINC directories from antivirus scanning?

Have you checked your anitvirus logs to see it it is stopping the ACEMD2 application? ACEMD2 is the program that GPUGrid uses to process WQUs.

Have you rebooted your machine?

Have you tried switching SLI on / off?

Have you tried switching Physix on/ off?

---

Thanks - Steve

No problems with McAfee virus-scanner.

I have rebooted the system.

I have tried to switch PhysX and Multi-GPU.

Tonight 1 job finished and 1 job cancelled after more than 5 hours.

At this moment driver 196.75 and physx/multi-gpu = on - gtx295

Any ideas?

Remove Driver 196.75

Nvidia: "We are aware that some customers have reported fan speed issues with the latest 196.75 WHQL drivers on NVIDIA.com. Until we can verify and root cause this issue, we recommend that customers stay with, or return to 196.21 WHQL drivers. Release 196.75 drivers have been temporarily removed from our Web site in the meantime."

http://www.incgamers.com/News/21293/nvidia-19675-kills-video-cards

incgamers.com: "We're getting reports where users are getting intermittent low FPS after installing these drivers. It seems that it is related to the fan control included in these drivers not working correctly and is causing the video card to overheat on 3D applications."

I am back to 196.21

I've been using 196.21 all along and have also had the error issue. I have two GTX 295 cards running on two separate desktops. One machine is getting the errors, the other GTX 295 machine, as well as my 4 machines with 9800GTX+'s are completing the workunits without errors.
