I have two Nvidia 285 cards and Win7 x64. the problem is that my system became unstable when using the beta drivers required to work this project. I would first get the message that my video card had stopped responding and had recovered but eventually I would get the blue screen of death. this might happen once a day, maybe twice a day. Once I installed the 197.45 drivers which don't support this project my problems went away. I don't know if the problem was the drivers or the project itself,all I know is that my system no longer crashes. |

Once I installed the 197.45 drivers which don't support this project my problems went away. I've been running 197.45 for a while with no issues. Did I miss something where the project said not to use these? Either they are fine to use or we're just lucky. |

I'm "just" guessing. If the problem was a GPU with 256MB, Windows Drivers AFTER 196.21 report less RAM & won't start running WU's.

tzpmrz, you had 1 task cancelled by the server before it began, 2 finish too late, one time out, and you have three in progress. I would suggest you reduce you cache, configure you cc_config.xml file to report immediately, and increase your patients ;) liveonc, GTX285's have way more than 256MB, but I think this is related to GPU RAM reporting. |

Thought he meant his other PC where I couldn't see his GPU. I wasn't talking about his GTX285.

tzpmrz is only using one PC with two Nvidia GTX285's, so plenty of RAM there. Don't know what the other PC is about but no work was done on it so perhaps it was attached it by mistake? |
