Help required! Cuda on new system crashes!
Gizbar:
It's only a couple of days ago that I installed Win7-64 Home premium, but I've tried so much since then. I think I had the card running on Win7-64 RC, but I'm not 100% sure.
Don't think the card is defective, is there any other GPU test I can try? Something a bit more scientific?
I've just had 3dmark06 demo running with 4 Prime95 tasks running in the background and there were no crashes after 3 or 4 loops. The only problem I had was Prime95 didn't exit cleanly and stopped working as I tried to exit. I'm just about to try the V12 non-Vlarkill app and see what happens then.
Never used XP64 only 32bit. I may try WinXP again after this, if the non-Vlarkill app doesn't work. If it does, I'll try that for a few days, and use reschedule 1.9 to force Vlar to CPU.
The only other thing I can think of is that the PSU can't cope, as Richard suggested. I don't think so, but I'm not sure how I can log the voltages while processing to test it. I have Everest v5, but I don't know if voltages can be logged through it.
Don't want to give up on Win7 easily though, as I've found it pretty good and stable so far.
regards, Gizbar.
Gizbar:
New update:- Reinstalled Windows XPPro-32 bit and Lunatics with Boinc 6.6.38, and Nvidia 191.07 with cuda 2.3 dll's.
Running GPU tests now to see if that solve problem.
If it does, I'll be cheesed off after paying for the Win7 version, especially after it all seemed to be working on Win7-64 bit RC.
I'll keep you all posted...
regards, Gizbar.
P.S. Thanx to all who have chipped in with ideas and suggestions. It really is appreciated.

New new update! (Does that make any sense?)
Been running without any crashes so far (only 1/2 an hour though, so far), and all seems to be well.
Using GPU-Z to log temps, not above 75c, and SysInternals process explorer to see what's happening (although I can't find a log option for that).
What I have noticed though, is that the cuda wu's are randomly stopping, and starting another one. I actually missed it stop, then when looked again it had stopped one at approx 76% and had started another.
Then I actually saw it stop the current one at about 35%, and then go back to the previous one and finish it successfully.
I am now confused even more!
Any ideas on what is happening?
All on host number http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=5000538I have virtually nothing on this machine as I'm trying to prove that it seems to be either the 64bit version of lunatics that is causing the problem or the shift to Win7-64. Maybe I could try the 32bit version of Lunatics on the 64bit system?
regards, Gizbar.

The stopping is quit normal but you need at least BOINC 6.6.38.
And it doesn't matter if the system is 32 of 64 bit.
If the WU finish and are validated properly everything is fine. Sometimes you don't want to know why BOINC is stopping WU it's just how the scheduler works. ;D
I've seen dozens of them at times.
Gizbar:
Thanks for the info, Fred.
I'm just happy at the moment that it's running successfully without crashing. Never noticed it swapping wu before that's all. If it's normal behaviour I can live with it. My RAC is taking a dive with all this mucking around going on, but I need to find out what is going on.
As posted earlier I went back to version 6.6.38 from version 6.6.41, which I notice has now been pulled from Boinc downloads for Windows systems. Have you tried the 6.10.17 version yet?
Want to get it running properly before messing with another new Boinc version.
regards, Gizbar.
