I finally built an HTPC, there was a bit of confusion with installing the correct driver but it's working now. | |

I have temporarily given up on that pc. In the beginning, I got both cards crunching after finally installing the correct GPU drivers needed & setting up the BIOS in the correct way. But all of a sudden, it stopped running altogether & reported that there wasn't enough memory on the GPU. After that, I could only get the 9400 IGP crunching, the 8800GT ALWAYS reported too little memory & even after I tried to reinstall Windows 7, it still wouldn't use both GPU's as it did once. I complained in another thread about this. I don't know what to do about it, run folding@home??? | |

I decided to try again because I wanted to upgrade the CPU anyways. Still doesn't want to, but this time it doesn't complain about lack of memory. | |

Apparently Nvidia Drivers version 196.21 & before, could detect the correct ammount of memory. That way probably how I got it to work previously. But all of a sudden, it only "detects", but doesn't start the jobs for 256MB GPU cards, so I had to raise the shared memory of the 9400 IGP to 512MB. Now GPUGRID.net gets WU for BOTH the 9400IGP & the 8800GT, but only crunches from the 9400IGP. I must have tried all the BIOS settings & Nvidia drivers 195-196, but still can't get it to work. | |
