Hey all, maybe someone can look at my computations and let me know if I am doing something wrong, or what I can do to fix this, everytime I do a GPU Grid WU as of late, they all have computation errors.

Used to have a 8600gt Nvidia card in my AMD Dual core,and it was happening, and I now even upgraded to a GTX 260, newest drivers, current boinc, and they are still failing...any suggestions, ideas?

Thanks in advance...

On Windows 32bit, it seems that you need drivers 181.xx.
The new drivers don't work.

Setting NNT until this is sorted out. (Windows XP 32 bit, GTX 260 Core 216)

190 works fine for me in a GTX260 in a Q6600 with Win XP 32 bits.

I think, could be your BOINC version... yo're using 6.6.36.

Do you remember what BOINC version you used when all worked fine?

Mine: 260 (192) 190 drivers qx9650 x48 vista64

I get driver nvlddmkm failed and recovered which in turn causes computation error running stock clocks.

Other machine on xp and 98gtx and 182.08 no errors

using 6.6.36 as it was advised in the messages file

Thoughts anyone?

I'm having this exact same problem -- all WUs end in "Computational error" from the very first WU I downloaded.

Here is my first WU result:

Let me think...

What thing I did different than you...?

Uhmmm.... I installed CUDA 2.2 Toolkit.


Try it.
