Since the 9800GTX+ started making 'trouble', like overheating, which resulted
in faults, I first got a GTX470 which I traded for repairing an PII (Compaq).
Then I could buy a 'show-model', from which I've seen it work.
(All kinds of simulations), I bought it for €275 .(€485 normal+BTW)
I found out that these 'monsters', need a 650W(minimal), 850W is better, PSU
It draws 17A from it's 8 pin and 17A from it's 6 pin connectors and an additionel ~6 - 10A from the Mainboard. (ASUS P5E).
Now I have to find a way to get the 470 to work..........
But I'm glad I made the change, for GPUGrid it's working like a charm and on
SETI@Home, I now can run 3 MultiBeam's (0.04CPU+0.33GPU), at a time, so sometimes
BOINC 6.10.58, 64BIT, runs 7 SETI tasks and/or a mix of Einstein and other project.

I use driver 258.96 and CUDA 3.1.
And it looks like those KASHIF_HIVPR WU's, need to have compute capabillity
2.0. (2.1?)

Knight Who Says Ni N!

All of the KASHIF_HIVPR are generating errors on both of my machines.

Out of the first two pages of my Tasks (40 work units), I have had 24 work units error out, all KASHIF_HIVPR. It is killing my contributions as ftpd said, the GPU crunching halts until I notice the error message.

---

Probably best to do a system restart and then abort the download of any KASHIF_HIVPR tasks that you pick up.
Hopefully you will pick up other work units.

I reboot around every other day. If I see anymore KASHIF, I will abort immediately.

---

seems also that all KASHIF.. task fail at my Geforce 9800 GT :-/
(ok currently evething failed cause a OC attemp, but KASHIF task didnt work before OC ^^)

I have same error:

Only on KASHIF tasks. TONI always work fine.

I found a reason of my error. This is automatic suspend. After restart KASHIF tasks make an error.

I just had this one wrecked:

I don't have the faintest idea why it was restarted (or what "restart.coor" is good for at all), I don't run other projects on the GPU in parallel, and I wasn't doing anything on the machine at that time.
