We have tested with drivers 185.xx on a 8800GT. All the WUs fail.
With driver 180.xx all WU are fine.

Even with GTX200 cards, is best to stay on 180.xx drivers or any driver version which worked for you in the past.

So, we can just suggest to downgrade to older drivers (180.xx) seem to work.

We have reported the issue to Nvidia.

I am running 185.xx drivers on my 9800GT and GTS250 with no problems so far. My times to completion seem faster. I am running Seti on the GPUs also.

Can you specify your system: OS, cuda driver, (do you also have the toolkit installed?)

thanks.

So, this should work because you have GTX280 cards.
On 280 we run fine as well.

I have this WU that have worked 665193 (p10000-RAUL).

My system:
Vista Ultimate x64
Q6600 O/C 3.7Ghz 4G Ram
GF9600GT o/c to 700/1800 with driver 185.85

Boinc 6.6.28
Mixing with SETI now and then ...
Using Raistermers version with CUDA lib 2.2
All working as it should.Maybe with some minor issues, that are more my own
mistakes.

Let me add to the confusion....;)

Yesterday--1 error

Today So Far--5 Successful WUs and no errors....so far.

Going back to May 12th and before....lot's of errors. Some my fault, some not.

My task list is here: Tasks

My PC list is here: Computers


I have not changed anything at all in the last 3-4 days. Still running 6x 8800GS and 185.85, 185.26 drivers.

I've done nothing that I am aware of in the last couple of days to explain the improvement.

The 1 error from yesterday was after a planned shutdown and then boot up with about 10 minutes in between. Once Boinc started up...that WU errored out in less then a minute. Why? I have no idea...it shouldn't have, but it did. It was very close to complete.

I have been running those 185.26 drivers on those rigs since they came out in March. They ran fine. Then everything went to shat recently and now things are improving again.

I don't "knowingly" download the toolkit. Never thought I needed it and never really understood exactly what it is.

Hoping this helps somehow....:)

I've been running 185.xx drivers for 5 weeks with only issues with my 2x 8800GT's and 1x 9500GT on the "KASHIF_HIVPR" and "IBUCH_KID" WU's. All others working fine.

Apparently, it is not that the driver causes *all* WU's to fail, only these well-known suspect ones (and most only slower cards, but some on high-end ones). If there is a fix from nvidia in a future driver release, then great. Until then, I'll just keep plugging along with the 185.xx drivers and hope I don't get any "KASHIF_HIVPR" and "IBUCH_KID" WU's.

ok after the ibuch unit run for almost 18 hours it crashed so now am gonna switch back to old driver first and lower cuda set

Both my 9600 GSO cards have been running 185.81 drivers for quite a while.
No problems except for the dreaded "KASHIF_HIVPR" and "IBUCH_KID" WU's.

GT 250 is G92 like the 8800GT. It's not a G200 like GTX 260/280...

thx marketing Nvidia. To make new card with "old" chip.

Now with 182.5 driver on 1 GTX 260 + 1 8800 GT, and boinc 6.6.2 I have 0 error.

If I update graphic driver(185.85), I have 100% errors.

Host : 8400, vista 64.

I run the 185.xx driver since the installation of Windows 7 RC 64 Bit at release day. I have no errors except the known KASHIF- and IBUCH-WU.

My System:
Q9550 @ 3,4 MHz
8800GT @ stock 515 MB
Windows 7 64Bit
Boinc 6.6.28

I run the 185.85 under Vista with a 8800 GTS and all but 2 WU´s recently finished fine.
Even a new 10000 credit WU KASHIF_HIVPR_dim.

The only task type failing was 1 2 KASHIF_HIVPR_n1.

I've had a 105-GIANNI_FB WU fail out on my GTS250 (G92b) on 185.85 with Boinc 6.6.28.

The error is below:

WARNING: parameters.cu, line 568: Found zero 10-12 H-bond term.
WARNING: parameters.cu, line 568: Found zero 10-12 H-bond term.
MDIO ERROR: cannot open file "restart.coor"

Well to be honest it is recommended you first uninstall the old drivers and boot you system set to vga screen.
I normally do this and also clean my system from nvidia residu ( very advised also by nvidia ).
But sometimes i forget to clean up and sometimes end up with some weird problems with the drivers.
To be honest i do this no matter which brand i use ati or nvidia i allways clean my system with some tools to get the old crap off my system.

I crunch a GPUGRID WU in about 6 hours. Is that good or bad?

Martin

Fedora 10 (64bit) - gtx260

After installing 185.18.14 all WU's failed with compute errors. Switching back fixed the failure problems.

185.85 WHQL Drivers are out, I'm running the AQUA CUDA WU's & the GPUGrid WU's on a Twin GTX 275 Setup with them with no problems so far.
