Luvin' it....

Had that happen too. Did you just start Dak? It was when I had my 260 cranked up after I just joined. After a couple of days it started givng more wu's.

updatted to 6636 and same issue..
As soon as it starts I get a windows error message that ace_6 whatever has encountered an error and needs to close..and then watched two GPUGRID WU show computational error in the BOINC manager screen..
Time for me to go back to cpu computing as thats what I know..
This just plain doesn't like me!

Hmmm...1 Quad with 2 GPU's says I reached my daily limit???

Ok, I would guess that this is the rig?

Gpugrid host 43368

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz [Intel64 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 11]
(4 processors)

2] NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (512MB) driver: 18250

Microsoft Windows Vista
Home Premium x64 Edition, Service Pack 1, (06.00.6001.00)

If so, here's why--it's throwing errors for some reason. OC maybe a bit too high, maybe a bit hot for the OC, etc.

Good call. He's been going for 3 or 4 days now, but some of his rigs haven't been running Gpugrid even that long yet. It's some other issue, but still a good call.

Is "Use Gpu while computer is in use" checked in preferences? Advanced>Preferences>Processor usage tab. If so, then you can try this:

Make a file in notepad
Name it: cc_config.xml

Copy and paste the below into it:
------------------------------

<cc_config>
<options>
<ncpus>4</ncpus>
<report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
</options>
</cc_config>

------------------------------

Save it to: C:\Programdata\Boinc\

"ncpus" = whatever works to get things running and may not be needed. I had to add it back when I started (9-08), then removed it, then added it back recently. Originally the number was the total cores + gpus. Now it the same except minus 1. Example: i7 running 8 threads and 2 gpus=9. Same for my other rigs....go figure.

"use_all_gpus" stays at 1 regardless of how many you have.....the number is irrelevent from what I understand.

Not as much hassle as it seems....only takes a few minutes...

Can you give a better description/name for the ace_6 error so I can google it and see what it is? I'm coming up blank right now, unless it has something to do with vmware....?

I'll try this now.. Thanks.
question, on my machine I have 8 core with HT or 16 threads..
The third line where you have a 4, does this effect me?

[DAK1640]

You were SPOT ON naja002...Now running both GPU's...Thx

Yes. Add up your total cores + gpus and then subtract 1 and replace the 4 with that number. Don't count HT "cores"...just "real" cores.


When you installed Boinc--during the install--you need to install as "unprotected". Do you know if you did that? It has to be changed during the install....default is "protected".

No sweat, DAK, glad to help.

Mike's dachshund isn't gonna like that you helped Da Goose though... He's building da bunker now...

at least he got to come out of the bunker for some air mike its code red time to dig in again,

Mike is quickly becoming the resident expert.....and that just gives me more time in the cooling shed.

[DAK1640]

Mike is a deep thinker...Can't even begin to count the number of times he has straightened me out. naja002, you too are very detail oriented. Bless peepople like you guys. Goose is causing me to loose conciousness...
