All of my tasks the last several days have been returning the following message:

<core_client_version>6.10.58</core_client_version>

These are the applications I have been running:
ACEMD2: GPU molecular dynamics v6.15 (cuda31)
Long runs (8-12 hours on fastest card) v6.15 (cuda31)
Both are returning the same message.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? It seems likely to be something at my end but I'm not sure what.

Thanks for your help.

1) Shutdown Windows, wait 5 minutes then reboot. Sometimes that's all it takes.

2) Have you cleaned your fans and cooling fins recently? Gotta be done at least once a year. Remove the fan (if you have one) so you can ALL the dust out of the cooling fins.

3) How hot is your CPU and GPU running? Install GPU-Z, CPU-Z or FanSpeed or whatever W2indows people are using and see what the temps are. "It doesn't feel too hot" doesn't cut it.

4) If you're overclocking anything then drop back to stock speed and see if the problem goes away.

I'm not overclocking so I had not thought about the over temp issue. I will check into that when I get home.

Thanks for the ideas.

You seem to have fairly old drivers (258.96). I suggest you come up to 266.58 which will give you cuda 3.2 support (the apps use cuda 3.1). Choose the clean-install check box when you do it.
