Could be a driver issue, try updating to the latest (beta) driver.

Greetings from TJ

Unclear if these are crashing the driver; there is no message saying that it has.

Task http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=7393220

Several of these errors, usually with the screen going black for about a second:

10/23/2013 6:21:36 PM | GPUGRID | Task trypsin_lig_12_2-NOELIA_RCrep_eq-0-1-RND5589_0 exited with zero status but no 'finished' file
10/23/2013 6:21:36 PM | GPUGRID | If this happens repeatedly you may need to reset the project.

I couldn't find the beta test drivers. However, when the 331.58 and 331.65 drivers came out, I installed them. No such crashes under either of these.

Correction - the 331.65 driver makes such crashes less frequent (perhaps every other day), but does not stop them completely.

Crashes less frequent with the 331.65 driver, but not gone. GPU workunits for other BOINC projects still running properly.

Another -97 error:

Another repeated Windows crashes until I aborted the workunit:

That computer now has GPUGRID on No new tasks. I plan to leave it there until I install some update that looks likely to fix this problem.

My other computer (with a slower GPU, Windows 7, and probably an older driver) still has GPUGRID enabled since it isn't showing showing this problem.

some update that looks likely to fix this problem.

I'm waiting for an Nvidia driver release, a BOINC release, or a GPUGRID application release before I enable GPUGRID workunits on that computer again.

I've now installed BOINC 7.2.28 on the computer with the problem. I tried installing the 331.82 Nvidia driver a few times; it never installed correctly. I'm back to the 331.65 driver.

GPUGRID workunits have run properly on that computer for the last few days, with no more driver crashes.

This wasn't enough to fully fix the problem; however, the driver crashes no longer crash Windows also. I'll watch to see if the new crashes cause enough problems that I need to put GPUGRID back in No new tasks on that computer.

I've been trying to crash NOELIA tasks on my 660T1 by repeatedly (20 X) suspending and resuming them but I can't. This seems like a Windows bug to me. Suggest installing Linux to fix it or a script that peeks at the names of the GPUgrid tasks in your cache every 60 secs and aborts them if they're NOELIA. Either way would be a path of lesser resistance leading to greater productivity and oneness with the Buddha ;)

BOINC <<--- credit whores, pedants, alien hunters

The 8.14 application version fixed the problem that this thread described. It has been resolved for a while now..

But I couldn't crash them with the previous version either.

It was a Windows only fix.
