Some time ago there was some discussion surrounding versions of Nvidia drivers that had something to do with erroring out after XX number of hours of continuous usage.

I can't remember what version(s) it was.

Also I'm thinking I need to set my systems to do a daily reboot.

My newly reimaged GTX 590 machine ran great for over two days and then suddenly I'm back to TDR BSODs.

I then have to manually abort whatever WUs are in the middle of processing and lose the credits.

I was thinking it had something to do with the 'Nvidia XXhr flu' thing maybe.

Anybody remember this discussion from a while back?

I started a thread on it back in August, the drivers your using don't have that bug though (I have an uptime of 685 hours).

If you google 36 hour TDR bug you can find lots of info on it including a long thread in the gForce forums.

I have driver 326.80 on my GTX770 and that PC had a continuous up-time of 13 days when I needed it to boot for updating mouse drivers.
And no problems with this driver on any WU also.

I usually reboot once a month, I check for Microsoft updates, run Ccleaner and defragment. So far everything has been working perfectly (knocking on wood), I was really banging my head on the wall over that one until I found the thread in the gForce forums.
