And probably unrelated: your GTX 260 was giving you quite a lot of errors before, especially these "initialization error". There's a separate thread for this problem. It has not yet been confirmed what causes them, but I suspect overclocking and your card is (factory?)-overclocked as well. Edit: sorry, I think I mixed that up with the "Cuda error: Kernel [frc_sum_kernel_angle] failed in file 'force.cu' in line 223 : unspecified launch failure."-error MrS Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002 ID: 4760 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Yes , I did not notice but it's with the new appkication... Concerning my GTX 260s , they were very stable before, just the 'out of memory' errors. And you are right, they are factory OC too.

Concerning my GTX 260s , they were very stable before, just the 'out of memory' errors. You're right, most errors follow an out of memory error. So nevermind what I said above.. I take everything back and claim the opposite ;) MrS Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002 ID: 4764 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Win XP64, errors here also, 5 in a row. Ver. 6.55 ran good. Same here on Win XP64. Every WU starts ok, crunches to about 1.5% then it bombs out with this error. 6.55 ran perfectly (and using it I was able to test 180.84 drivers). What is the procedure for reverting back to 6.55?

Not sure.. is this good or bad news? ;) Either they fixed something, which is good for everyone, or the error will be more difficult to reproduce.
