 I managed to get a _2.And happy to get it!! I'm sure there will be resends. The batch before this one all I got was resends. 
In 1969 I took an oath to defend and protect the U S Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and Domestic. There was no expiration date.

I picked up 32 betas this round. Played with the overdrive settings on my ATI 6950 between wu's. My max MHz is 840 MHz. Not to big of a difference between max and a few notches down for total crunch time. Surprisingly my temps maxed out at 71C using all settings. Fastest I completed was 191 seconds on the GPU.
---------------------------------------- Guess not to bad. 
Crunching for humanity since 2007!

Seriously though, I have never seen that message or seen a post about it but I'm sure others may have or know to find the definition. Does not look good to me.  EDIT: This is what I could find. Good luck.  http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=65084 http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=2494#21002  [Edit 3 times, last edit by Dataman at Mar 20, 2012 2:54:50 AM] |

This will make 0 for 4 for my GPUs. Try completely uninstalling the driver and reinstalling driver 12.1(not the 12.1 preview). Maybe that will help with the problem.

Hi BSD,
----------------------------------------Did you by any chance log on to that machine using remote desktop? If so, then that's your answer right there: BOINC disables the GPU when you are looking on that machine via remote desktop. All you need to do is just a reboot of the machine and avoid connecting to it remotely. Hope this helps. Cheers!  Knowledge is limited.

Et al [Not At Al]. It seems critical as from reading many support threads, that display drivers are best uninstalled before upgrading, boot, back into the basic default and then install the new. This for best most reliable result. Shortcutting this process comes frequently with troubles. As it is while toiling around with the Radeon/Catalyst drivers and tools, I've done the various ways, and at times still had the system display as were I still on the old drivers. Booting is painful with 8 threads concurrent... there's always that checkpoint that has not been made for one or the other task for the last 30 minutes :(.
If there is a manual that covers all steps to install the drivers, flow chart form accompanied ideally, I'd be happy to add this to the FAQs GPU section and sticky it [or sticky it in this forum, but that requires admin help]. --//- |

So every time I have to RDP into it, I have to reboot when done? |

 Happy to have helped. I know this because it happened to me too and I started panicking. There might be other solutions as well, but this is the most straightforward of them all (as far as I know). I leave that to the more advanced/experienced users that may have some tricks up their sleeves. Happy crunching! Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world! - Albert Einstein |

For the Know-How: Would RDPing be sensed by BOINC as using the system, meaning What if an RDPeed client is set to pause GPU computing when ever a remote session is started?
I'm using TeamViewer7 [works on all platforms], and when using their driver it blew the remote GPU driver, but only when I told it to blank the remote screen... black it. Fortunately the W7-64 system has a roll-back in the display driver update screen, so was back in no time by simply choosing the previous driver from the pick list, no booting required. --//-- |
