I just bought a computer second hand, with a Nvidia card installed. Connected it up to gpugrid, but I'm getting a lot of compute errors, some of which after 10-14 hours of crunching.

Could someone please take a look for me, and see if there is anything I can do to stablise my system?

Thanks in advance

You should have linked to your computer, there are more informations in your tasklist.

For example:

Cuda error: Kernel [mshake_position] failed in file 'mshake.cu' in line 146 : unknown error.


Cuda error in file 'deviceQuery.cu' in line 59 : initialization error.


9600GT is supported. Which driver and CUDA-version did you installed ? Overclocked GPU ?

Try cleaning the drivers and reinstall. For the moment, there will come better advice ...

What's the temperature of your card while crunching? Is the CPU heavily overclocked? Can you trust the guy you bought the machine from?

I'm not in the position to judge him, but it may be that he went a little too far with overclocking and after some time got ugly artifacts in his games, so he decided he'd give the system away to a non-gamer.. not knowing that every artefact would result in a calculation error if you run CUDA. Or could be just normal wear-out from heavy usage under high temperatures.

cheers guys. I 've been away with work for a few days, just got back.

I dropped the core usage from 100% to 80% (i.e 4 cores to 3 cores) and it seems to prefer it.

Hopefully things should run fine
