I don't understand this error! See example below, it's the same WU!

Almost the same GC (my gtx260-2), but my WU crashed = 0 credits!
There are 9 of 19 WUs crashed in my task history! I've lost 35k points that makes me sick.
The results of OnTheNet seems to be ok, every time. Moreover it seems to me that he has overclocked his GC.


I'll try to update boinc, NV forceware and try again.

I don't understand this error!

There isn't much to understand here anyway. It's just a very generic message to tell you some error happened during the computation.

I'll try to update boinc, NV forceware and try again.

Good choice. But also consider lowering your clock speed and / or speeding up your fan. Although OnTheNet runs his cards at a higher clock speed he may just have gotten a very good one or he may have superb cooling (water).
Your card is likely factory overclocked: 1.25 Ghz is the standard clock for a GTX 260, whereas yours runs at 1.40 GHz. This may cause problems.

ATI even had to go so far as to have the Catalyst driver detect if a specific benchmark was running because when ran full out, some of their boards' voltage regulators were overheating -- something that doesn't happen in real life in games or DC computing.

That's the (in)famous FurMark. I tried it last Friday on my new 4870 with an Accelero S1 and 2 x 120 mm fans.

Idle: GPU ~40°C (without downclocking or clock gating), power supply fan: 1100 rpm (only BOINC load on cpu)
Milkyway@GPU: ~55°C, PSU fan 1300 rpm

So MW is working the system quite hard already. GPU fans were running ~1000 rpm, as well as the case and CPU fans. Now when I launched FurMark it stayed around 80°C for some time, but then temperatures started to rise and wouldn't stop. I hit 98°C on the GPU, PS fan 1500 rpm and had set all other fans to 1500 rpm, opened the front panel etc. And the temperature would have continued rising, so I aborted the test. Incredible! I'm sure I could kill my card with FurMark..
