I upgraded to the latest beta drivers last night, in an effort to fix an issue where the stable drivers (285.62) would periodically crash on my machine, resulting in a temporary freeze and black screen.

So far, it seems to have worked, but unfortunately, I now get systematic errors when running work units, both standard and long. It's always the same:

<core_client_version>6.12.34</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[
<message>
The system cannot find the path specified. (0x3) - exit code 3 (0x3)
</message>
<stderr_txt>
# Using device 0
SWAN: FATAL : Unable to enumerate devices
Assertion failed: 0, file swanlib_nv.c, line 390

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

</stderr_txt>
]]>

I've suspended the project so as to not waste server resources by fetching WUs only to crash them.

I don't know if this is something specific to my machine or if this will eventually affect anyone upgrading to the new drivers when they become WHQL certified.

I'm getting these errors as well with the latest beta drivers:

<core_client_version>7.0.8</core_client_version>

I'm getting those errors aswell with the latest stable drivers 295.10. Going to not do any GPUGrid work at all anymore, this problem is over 1 Month old already since initial post and apparently no one cares.

Good Job there.

Hi, The solution is Linux and it's faster. Greetings.

I recommend you uninstall the drivers, make a clean instalation and go to the boinc version 6.12.34

I upgraded to the latest beta drivers last night

<core_client_version>7.0.8</core_client_version>

Beta drivers imply NVIDIA is not sure they are 100% right
From boinc web page:

7.0.22 Development version(MAY BE UNSTABLE - USE ONLY FOR TESTING)
6.12.34 Recommended version

I don't think it's posible to a project with limited resources to atend bugs that are caused for the development of other teams.

There are other projects that have testing sites because the have a lot more ressources and they can improve BOINC.
