    gtx280 sli + vista64 + nvidia 190.62 + bionc 6.10.5 = computation errors

    wcg/gpugrid/sli setup = i7 920 + gtx280 sli + vista64 + nvidia 190.62 + bionc 6.10.5

    cpu settings at 80% of processors and 80% cpu time. I now have 2 tasks running, each one running on 0.14 cpu and 1.0 gpu; while 8 wcg tasks are running. estimated time for the 2 gpugrid tasks is around 2.5 hours. seems to have fixed the computation errors, should have figured this one out sooner. any advice on these settings? Thanks

    Edit: I can tell from watching the cpu/gpu temps the tasks are cycling on and off quite a bit. wcg seems to be active only about 1/2 the time. is this a resource share setting issue? right now wcg and gpugrid are set at 50% each. advice on this setting? Thanks

    Edit: estimated time to completion for gpu tasks has risen to 3+ hours. I know these estimates should not be given too much credit, I will wait and see what happens.

    Edit: computation errors

    can you try out 1 vid card out and disconnect the other card to see if it completes a work unit on its own , just curious if you can complete a work unit on 1 card.after try the other card out so we can say its not the vidcards if both work, i know its a pain ars to pull cards with them set up in water cooling but we should rule out the cards first.

    computation errors. the video driver "stops responding" (as per the vista error msg) for a split second, creates the computation error, stops the gpugrid wu. been trying different combos of vid drivers and bionc client. now I must try shadowwind's suggestion of physically 1 card at a time

    im hoping that works for you PB, that galaxy PSU you got what is it rated at?
    i had a similar experience with a psu going bad just moving my mouse would cause it to error out, it may sound weird to you but when i changed it out things started working.so im thinking 1 card should work.i got my fingers crossed things will work out.

    its an enermax galaxy 1000W. the cards run fine in 3+ hour overclocked sli gaming sessions. the error usually happens in the first 15 minutes of a wu. I thought it was the bionc screensaver kicking in, disabled all screensavers and power management stuff, not the problem. It's not temps, low volts to the gpu's, or overclocked settings (mobo or vid), tried those. I'll keep digging...

    Edit: I keep wondering if there is some kind of throttling going on with the vid cards. I've been researching the cards and looking through rivatuner, can't find anything

    ok. bionc 6.6.41 + nvidia 191.07 + vista64 + 2x gtx280 + sli enabled = over 1 hour of gpugrid crunching with zero errors (while also crunching wcg). since all my previous problems were popping up in the first 15 -20 minutes, I think I got it. wooters

    Errors. F*ck it.
