Latest drivers (NVidia and ATI)

Only if this will be posted not here but on AMD forums and even better, bug ticket will be opened.

I would have done so, but last night when i was ready to do so, AMDs developer fora were not accessible.

Can you install Vista or Win7 on that host ?

Win7x64 if necessary.

[Raistmer]

Try this, please.
WinXP support ceased so we never get this bug fixed if it's WinXP only and we will not have evidences that Win7 involved too.

Reinstall in progress.

Later: Installing win7 made no problems. My older (5 years) hw was detected correct. Now waiting while download of Cat 11.12 is progressing.

Even more later: I'm tired and win7x64sp1 shows the same behaviour with MBv7r390LHD4K like XPsp3 did before, the GPU driver crashes (atim2tag.dll ? ).

Need a tip please : How do i turn that watchdog system in win7 off ?

There was very god link from some of members to M$ page with instructions, but I didn't bookmarked it in time    ... will try to find...

290.53 Beta is apparently available (Nvidia update has just told me), downloading now,

AMD SDK 2.6 is available.

LoL, nVidia beta 290.53 benches slightly faster again on GTX 480/Win7x64sp1

Received repaired the NVidia GTX460, un-installed the ATI HD 3850 and drivers (with un-installing application + driversweeper and set-up with NVidia ver 285.62 now crunching properly, why is not crunching with ATI ?? ??

Which projects couldn't you get the HD3850 to crunch on?, and what drivers did you have installed?, did try rolling back to earlier drivers?

with HD3850 milky-way (this card is DP), Collatz, SETI MB ATI and Prime grid and no success with any of then, when I built the computer I was able to crunch at least in milky-way and Collatz, at that time there was not MB for ATI and I was not signed for Prime grid.

I've used several version the last 11.11 & 11.12 don't know what happens but in another computer it works but not in this since the first time I exchanged the ATI for a NVidia 9800 and because a problem I switched back to ATI again and in those times no success too, well I suppose I'll should have to give retirement to this GPU and start thinking in fdisk, format and re-install OS in computer (win7-pro-x64-sp1-ES)

O.K, with Seti ATI MB and PrimeGrid you're never going to get them to work, as both those projects ATI apps are OpenCL apps, and the HD3850 isn't OpenCL capable, you need an HD4*** or later ATI GPU for OpenCL capability.
There is a Seti Hybrid Astropulse app that will work on you're GPU (if you're got the right driver), but it mostly uses the CPU, and only intermittently uses the GPU, hardly worth using,

For Collatz and Milkyway to work you'll have to choose an earlier driver, i don't think Cat 11.10, 11.11 or 11.12 work with Collatz at all,

ATi hybrid AP being run with MW side to side definitely worth using if participant interested in SETI throughput increase w/o sacrificing his GPU total performance.

Zacate (E-350): by updating from Catalyst 11.5 to 11.12 I lost about 30 (!) percent performance for AP.
