BOINC 6.6.5 for Win32 & Win x64.
Find more at download directory.

I had clear install and no problems running 3 task simultaneously.

Please test and post any issues.

My problems started with 6.62 wu's. Now my computer is running in 1+1 mode all the time as earlier I was mostly able to get it to 2+1. My boinc version is 6.4.5 though


Try 6.5.0.

I noticed this wu hung for 12hrs or so last night at around 61.2%. A stop and start of boinc got it going again. Can't give any more info than that.


I also had a 6.62 WU hanging and restarting BOINC solved the problem. Didn't have anything like that before. (which may be coincidence)

do they error out or are they stuck and you abort them? How long have you let them run to see if they're really stuck? With 6.62 you won't see the cpu time count up, so you can not readily tell if anything is running. Looking at the GPU temperature would tell you, though. Or waiting >10 min should also make sure that you see progress, even on the slowest of cards.
And which driver are you running, 181.22? Older ones are causing problems / errors on XP64.

MrS



First of all the problem has gone...now I have 3 simultaneous running tasks as earlier. Again latest drivers and BOINC 6.6.4

As I mentioned in my post I had clean install of the latest drivers and latest CUDA...and I had no problems with the earlier versions...so I think it was not an issue with the drivers. I am running XPx64.

The problem units really stuck for an hours...It's not of waiting 10-15 minutes to see the progress..

About the temperatures....YES I've mentioned that the GF9600GT card was idle...at the same moment GF9800GX2 was running 2 tasks.


Here are again links to some of the problem WU:

I've installed already but on a PC without CUDA GPU and it run smootly. Later evening will try it on the serious machine.. :)

I hope it will solve some incompatibilities I am struggling with the 6.62 version...

Ok, but this WU after the hang on and restart finished generating valid result...mine are giving only errors :(

I'm already suspecting hardware failure..

6.62 application fails on my 9600GT :(
I have updated drivers, CUDA, BOINC...rebooted, project reset....nothing helps

BOINC recognizes the card, assigns task that starts and then stays at 0% done and 0 time computing....

Please advice what to try to make it run...I had no such problem with 6.61 version

Here are 2 of the tasks I have aborted due to the above reason:


http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=267985

BOINC recognizes the 9800GX2 card separately and runs only it...9600 stays idle..

OK the 6.62 unit itself runs OK...GPU time seems the same, low CPU usage, not like the 6.61 ones, but when mixed with the 6.61 there is some incompatibility..

I didn't have the chance to crunch three simultaneous 6.62 units on my machine

I have aborted the pending 6.62 tasks.....and...

Ha...now I've got again one 6.61 task and at the moment with two 6.61's and one 6.62 I have 3 tasks running...

It's really strange now... I got some 6.62 tasks but one 6.61 on the same PC is still running...and...one of the new 6.62 task shows running but CPU and the task itself remains idle and NO computation is done for hours. I've tried to abort it, but with the next downloaded the problem remains, so from the 3 possible units (I have installed 1X9600 GT and 1X9800GX2) on quad core at the moment there are only 2 actually running.....

Maybe it's because there is still 6.61 unit running on the same machine..? With the 6.61 there were always 3 tasks running simultaneously..
