GPUGrid workers crashing frequently

[werdwerdus]

Is this happening for anybody else? Frequently when I have been coming home from work I see the "acemd.win.2352 has stopped working" message on my desktop, and I have to click through 2 or more of them. I tried upping the voltage a bit, worried that my cards have gone unstable (GTX 470, x2), but it still happened today. Was jut wondering if this has been happening more frequently for everyone or I just have something going wrong. I could try removing the SWAN_SYNC variable. Also note my CPU (HT enabled) and GPU are running stock, except for upped voltage to 1025mv on the cards.

I may have found the answer: http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=2870#23636

nvidia 295/296 drivers are crashing CUDA applications after the monitor is powered off by Windows and then a new CUDA task tries to start

will disable monitor power-off and give a report tomorrow!

Good find!

And it's be really quite around here lately...

[werdwerdus]

I think that was the problem. No crashes today when disabling monitor sleeping.

I had similar crashing problems as well.
I also used to run the GPU always and it didn't really affect anything but recently everything is starting to crawl I tried reinstalling Boinc but with no success. I have to disable GPU while the computer is in use otherwise it is barely usable. WCG seems ok running while the computer is in use but not GPU grid.

It may be a driver problem as well, my 2nd rig freezes up when I use VNC to connect to it, I have to use BoincTasks to pause the GPU before I connect with VNC. Too lazy to go back to 290 drivers so I just put up with it :P

Anyone running the 301.42 drivers ... I thought the "sleeping" issue was fixed?
IIRC we no longer need SWAN_SYNC, I'm pretty sure it is no longer even recommended

[werdwerdus]

yes it is fixed in the 301 drivers no workers crashing

don't know about swan sync I haven't been paying attention to gpugrid in the past several months

I'm pretty sure that's correct. I know I don't use it on the 570...
