Seems to be a little flurry of failed units, to be expected on the upgrade I suppose.

Best thing here was the link to the FAQ. One would not normally look in a message board for a FAQ. I have bookmarked it. Thanks so much.

But a new BOINC Version is not needed or? Still have 6.10.58 on the GPUGrid Mainmachine.

My experience of the best way how to install new Win drivers:
- XP> stop Boinc core, install drivers and reboot, then start Boinc core
- W7> reboot to windows safe mode, install drivers, reboot to standard mode, then start Boinc core

...and don't forget to check the "exit scientific applications" checkbox on exiting.

Except that on install of BOINC software, I always elect to disable this bloody-annoying 'feature', and cannot for the life of me find a way to otherwise exit the manager in this manner.
If one has disabled this (nagging) request, then surely the BOINC manager should add an option on the File>Exit menu to File>Exit & Quit & ShutDown & Everything! so that I don't have to use Task Manager!

(Please excuse the Australian idioms.)

If one calls six months 'a fair amount of time', yes.

I just started very recently. I did notice that the newest boinc had issues with my 460 and 570 with long projects failing at start quite a bit. I ordered another 570 to replace the 460 and since have not failed a unit.
