A week or two ago I received a series of work units that wouldn't complete. I think it's back again:

27-KASHIF_HIVPR_n1_for_ba3-3-100-RND1309-0

It's been running for 23:41 and is 14% complete and the time to completion keeps going up. Anyone else having this problem again? Since I have a slower card apparently (quadro FX3700) aborting this kind of thing really hurts.

You're using BOINC v6.6.20. Upgrade it. See this thread:

Yup, upgrading will resolve the never ending WU issue. Just to introduce another one; the ever crashing WU. For me, the problem seems to be aggravated the last 24 hours... (3 subsequently crashing WU's). Apparently older GPU's aren't tested anymore; my 8800GT ran usefully for about 50% during last week...

They do test with older GPUs and there's light at the end of the tunnel.

ETA,

you're right, I missed the progress on that thread. I hope you or nvidia will sort out the problems...

Sorry for the temporary overflow of my patience buffer...
I've assigned some more buffer space to give you guys some slack... ;o)

All your errors are due to the dreaded KASHIF_HIVPR and the new even more dreaded xxx-GIANNI_FB WUs here:
