	I had a WU error out tonight on a GPU that never errors (except for the known bad WUs). Looked at the WU and it's errored 3 times already and is still being sent out. Take a look: http://www.gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=465437 Old drivers, new drivers, fast cards, slow cards, it doesn't matter. Are all the xxx-GIANNI_FB WUs bad?

	Another failed one, that's 2 in a row: http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=677190 That's it, I'm aborting these when I see them...

	This is the mystery of the century. I am sorry for the problems, but these wus run fine in the lab for a 8800GT. We can't see any reasons why other work, and these don't. Feel free to cancel them. We will further debug it on Monday. Sorry for any inconvenience. gdf

	Can you summarize for me one of your systems where you have problems: OS/driver/BOINC version/cuda toolkit installed gdf

	Can you summarize for me one of your systems where you have problems: OS/driver/BOINC version/cuda toolkit installed gdf The machine that I've had 2 of these fail in a row has a 9600 GSO card, v185.81 drivers, BOINC v6.6.24, AMD Phenom 9600 quad, WinXP64. It's had no other failures except one of the dreaded KASHIF_HIVPR WUs. You'll notice though that these xxx-GIANNI_FB WUs are failing on a variety of machines with old & new drivers, slower and faster cards. Of the ones that I've now found completed, 2 were done on a GTX 295 and 1 on a GTX 260. Thanks for the quick reply!

	I don't know if I have just been real unlucky to get right in the middle of a batch of tasks that will not run anywhere... or, I have a problem with the new motherboards that is not obvious.... New i7 920 machines, Asus Rampage II mother boards, 6G Tri-channel ram In one of the new machines I put two new GTX260 cards and when the tasks started to fail I assumed bad driver, so I rolled back to 182.50, burned a couple more tasks. built the second system and put into it the GTX280 card that had been running tasks in the Q9300 just fine thank you very much. It started to burn tasks too... I have gotten a couple different error patterns one is invalid function which may be related to an over-clock mode being turned on because I did not know what I was doing. Getting that turned off and the bios updated cleared that up to move to: The other error is: One or more arguments are invalid (0x80000003) - exit code -2147483645 (0x80000003) I am running SaH and SaH Beta tasks and they are completing, though with the long delays in validation it is hard to know if I am returning junk or not. The new systems are w03 and w04. I have not yet updated W03 yet so that is next ... But helpful hints would be nice ...

	Can you summarize for me one of your systems where you have problems: OS/driver/BOINC version/cuda toolkit installed gdf I have never installed the toolkit on any setup.....Is this a requirement of Nvidia for proper CUDA operation??? I have been without the toolkit for 5 months so far, and until recently without issues. ____________ mike

	Horrible time last night while I contemplated my brand new shiny new car smelling computers were bad ... well, I completed first good task on W03 just now ... Downloaded two more new ones and since all the prior experience was that they would not even start, and they both have 4-5 minutes on the clock ... looking better ... so now on to test to see if they two cards will run tasks to completion ... later tonight we shall know ...

	I didn't think by "burn in" they actually meant burning the WUs. MrS ____________ Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002

	I didn't think by "burn in" they actually meant burning the WUs. See, I KNEW I was doing something wrong ... just could not put my finger on it ... well we are still chunking along on both new systems working on the three tasks I have in hand. When I shut down the other Dell I will pull the 9800GT from it and put it in the system with a GTX280 until I can afford to up-engine again ... likely will wait for another sale at Frys ... :)
