ive got a problem with my work erroring.

http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=2031603

im hapily crunching three tasks on 0 1 and 2, as soon as it trys to start another task it just errors out, and proceeds to error out the rest of my work que (although the first three just continue as normal)

Hardware is 2 295s and 1 285 on a evga classified 4way mobo with an i7 920 D0.

OS is W7 and im running 19713 drivers and boink 6.10.18.

Im also running WCG tasks without a problem there

any ideas?

I found with my dual 295 cruncher I needed to enable sli for BOINC to detect all 4 GPUs

Cool... I'll try just overclocking shaders and memory.

Im running 2 295s and a 285 (5GPUS) on a EVGA 4 Way Classified (7 PCIE) Mobo

All the cards are volt modded and water cooled

I upgraded to 196.21 and although a bit shaky at first, seems to be going ok now.



One thing I noticed is i have 5 gpus using 0.28 cpus each = 1.4 + WCG using 11 cores = 12.4... could this be overloading my processor and causing the bogging?

Im also running WCG on a Intel Core i7-980X, Boinc is set to use 100% or the cores 100% of the time, Ive tried changing this to leave one core spare (limiting Boinc to 11) but it still bogs down. This machine has only started experiencing this problem when I switched to the 980X, perhaps its got issues.

I use the exact same drivers and settings on an EVGA X58 Micro with an i7 920 2 295s with no problems.

My main cruncher is getting bogged down by GPUGrid.

While GG WUs are running the machine becomes unresponsive and sluggish.

im running Boinc 6.10.18 and W7 64

HW: EVGA 4 Way Mobo, 2 GTX 295s 1 GXT 285

My GPU is 30% overclocked... if my WU were taking 7-9 hours at stock settings, I expected them to take 5 to 7 hours overclocked

hmmm... perhaps someone needs to ask the f@h guys how they do it :)
