I have tried to run Nvidia client several time.

I have 1 x 8800 GTX and 1 x 8800 GT non SLi (obviously).
running under Vista 64 bit with latest WQL drivers.

I have tried several Boinc Windows clients.

First time the WU ran for several hours then in final few % it errored. Now every WU i run errors.

How do I get this to work ?
Seti@Home runs great with Cuda so why not GPUGrid ?

This is a example of what is posted against WU

GPU FAQ: Overview of cards that run Cuda 2.0 compiled applications
The 8800GTX is not supported by GPUGRID - the 8800GT is supported...
It seems BOINC switched between the two cards during computation of the task and that's probably why it errored out...

Well i have the same error and i only have 1 card so thats not it.
Until now i never had an error on the cuda applications but today my first ever.

Actually it's not the same error. ;)

Your's is also incorrect function (0x1) exit code 1, but in Fatbob's stderr.out there's also -

changed the setting back to show :)
ill try to reboot and see what happens

I guess Stefan is right i think that somehow it tried to switch to the nonbonded device, its probably like switching between different computers
Meanwhile i took the advise and rebooted and closed down my machine for a few minutes to see if that solves the issue.
If so we must reboot once in a few days, probably because of memory leaks in the applications.
But which one is not clear to me it can be both or it could the combination of gpugrid versus seti

Strangly i haven't had any problems on all previous units and never needed a reboot other then about 2 months ago my machine runs 24/7 normally.
Thanks for trying to help anyway but i fear its out of our hands now


PS sadly no solution the newly received unit crashed withing 30 seconds
So its something else other then my machine or boinc since all other projects run without errors

Lol you misunderstood me i prolly stink at english but you say exactly what i meant with it

On my personal problem with gpugrid i did something nasty :(
I downclocked my gpu speeds drastically and see what happens with the new units now my perfect record of running non errors is over
I think the admin from gpugrid could not stand me being error free on the runs ;)
Anyway no clue why it keeps crashing if it crashes again ill leave for a while to good running projects untill the problems are solved
I dont want to spend another 24 hours and then getting nothing because it errors out again.

Not sure if anybody want to know but when i had seti and gpugrid active both as cuda the grugrid was crashed.
And only 3 cores out of 4 active on boinc.
I have now only gpugrid active on the cuda and seems to run without error.
So lets see if it stays running

Did they try to run at the same time on your single card or was it just that you had projects activated and BOINc would switch between them normally?

In that case we can say for sure that seti is not leaving the machine in a "clean" state.

MrS

I have a new Win XP with an updates, the newest Nvidia driver for my GTX 295. But I cant complete any WU with GPUGrid. Try to reset the project, use the GTX in SLI and in two core mode... nothing works... Its the same mistake evrytime:

The GTX is ok, in a Vista system I can complete the WUs...

Can you help me with this problem, please?

This is actually not a problem. The message [MDIO ERROR: cannot open file "restart.coor"] always occurs at the start of a new WU for the simple reason that it has to start from scratch and can not fall back on a previously saved restart.coor, such as will be the case after a shutdown and restart of the PC in the middle of crunching a WU.

Your machine also reports two devices as it should be for a GTX 295. So two GPUGRID WUs will be running together.

Please check your result status and you should see that everything is fine.

PS - and if want any more help, try unhiding your PCs so that other fellow crunchers can have a look at them.

Kind regards.

Alain

Hi Alain,

this is the machine: http://www.gpugrid.net/results.php?hostid=29092 Its unhide now.

The PC ist running the hole day, there is no restart. Sometimes the error comes after a few seconds starting the new WU, sometimes after a few hours work... The result quit with a client and computing error...

Hope you can help me a little more...

Kind regards

Joe

OK, there is indeed a problem. All your results have the error code [Unzul�ssige Funktion. (0x1) - exit code 1 (0x1)]. Unfortunately this tells little and gives no real clues.

Worth trying in such cases.
1. Check the version of your video driver. Make sure you have the last one, currently 180.29 if I am not mistaken.
2. Verify your GPU temperature
3. Did you overclock your videocard? If so try easing back.
4. Also, did you try a simple restart?

Hope one of these help, sorry I can not be more specific.

Kind regards

Alain

I'd add another question:

5. Do you have GPU tasks ticked in your Seti options on your account @ Seti? The default is yes.

In theory it should be possible to get GPU projects to share resources with outher GPU projects on the same machine but I've not been able to get that to work yet.

Phoneman1

1. Check the version of your video driver.
GeForce Release 182.08 WHQL

2. Verify your GPU temperature
without GPU work:

4. Also, did you try a simple restart?
Yes, but it had no positve effekt

5. Do you have GPU tasks ticked in your Seti options on your account @ Seti?
No, its disable. Because I use the CUDA only for GPUGrid. Its works with all other machines...

Kind regards

Joe

Ohoh. If all that does not work, maybe your GPU is broken?

Check it out
1. with e.g. GPU-Z
2. in another machine if possible

OK, have to drive back home to Belgium now.
Hope to find some positive news on this after the WE

Take care

Kind regards

Alain

There an no problems with Everest or GPU-Z.
I testes this card in a XP machine - the same problem with GPUGrid. Then in a Vista PC - all ok. Put in in the next XP PC - and the card wont word... A problem with XP???

Kind regards

Joe

Hi MrS,

yes, the hardware is ok. I believe that XP is the problem... Its an 2day old XP with all MS, Nvidia and board updates. And on my other (older) XP PC I have the same problems... I try GPUGrid with the GTX295 in an naked XP - only with problems...
No, there is no remote desktop, only a normal network. There is only XP, Office an Photoshop CS3 installed.
I tested another GTX 295 in both XP PC - its already the same problem - in Vista a is all ok!!!
I tried the Seti Cuda work with the XP machines and it work very well, no problems.
Perhaps the next Nvidia driver will work better with my XP...

Kind regards

Joe

PS If you have any idea or solution for me, please write me!!!!!

PS I can't change to Vista, because I have problems to work with Photoshop CS on Vista, when the network print server works on XP. Photoshop works VERY slow in some functions...

Are the XP PCs updated to SP3 and the latest .NET ?

Regards
Zy

Yes, SP3 incl. updates and .Net3.5 Sp1...
There are no more updates for my XP...

Kind regards

Joe

Yesterday all started over again all Gpugrid error out
Its not the vc since s@h runs fine the only thing which is active is the other project CPDN on 3 cores
But i have also a problem now getting new units its somehow not accepting new downloads or something not sure what is going on.
The sad thing is the unit seems to run fine for a while and then suddenly crashes.

After doing a good bit of work to re-ensure the stability and reliability of my machine, I set it working last night. My first GPUgrid task finished with an error, all other projects are completing without issue. Seems as though there might be something up with the WUs from the project atm, but I have no way to confirm that.

I tested with lower speeds i set the card to lowest settings possible even lower then reported for nvidia 9600 gt on nivdia site.

The EVGA defaults for this card settings are indeed much higher then nvidia reports to be default but nevertheless i lowered them all.

But as i was checking i also stopped the CPDN units and saw something what i did not see before, after stopping the CPDN units the drive leds stopped flashing.
So i checked what happens when i turned on the units again, and it started flashing again without stopping.
The anwer on this came from the site of cpdn these units use 1,5 Gb memory a piece so running 3 or 4 of them seem to be too much.
Even if i had booted into my win7 X64 mode it would have had not enough memory to run them all since 8GB isnt enough to run 4 of them.
Hence the continous use of the swap space.
After i turned of cpdn units and let the other projects flow as usual on 3 cores seems to run fine again.
So i guess its a good idea to check which other projects run together with gpugrid.
I start to wonder if it is safe to run s@h or cpdn together with gpugrid
Ill test the settings of cpdn to use only low amount memory ones after this ones are done.

I think I may have fixed this issue:
If you have Windows XP Home and you want to switch profiles whilst using Boinc, follow the steps below found here:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=50929

Windows XP Home, huh? Then you don't have the User Account control panel, only that stupid (sorry ;-)) simple file sharing.

What you could try is the following:
- Restart computer into Windows Safe Mode (Keep hammering F8 after you cleared the BIOS and before you see the Windows Logo, when upon the menu choose Safe Mode).
- Select Start > Run
- Type %allusersprofile% in the Open text box. Then click OK.
- Right-click the Shared Documents folder, and select Properties.
- Click the Security tab.
- Select Everyone in Group Or User Names, and then select Allow next to Full Control in the Permissions. (if possible, check that the admin account you're using is a member of the boinc_admins, boinc_projects and boinc_users groups. Normal accounts should only be members of the latter two groups)
- Click Advanced, and select Replace Permission Entries On All Child Objects With Entries Shown Here That Apply To Child Objects.
- Click OK, click Yes, and then click OK to close the Shared Documents Properties dialog box.
- Select Start > Run.
- Type msconfig in the Open text box. Then click OK. The System Configuration Utility will open.
- In the System Configuration Utility, select the General tab.
- Select Normal Startup - Load All Device Drivers And Services. Then click OK.
- Restart the computer.
- Reinstall BOINC.

525 Mhz core speed, shaders linked on core showing 1302 mhz

But i guess i can set them higher again since all works fine when s@h or cpdn aren't jumping in as running projects

Any ideas ?

There are issues when running s@h and GPU-Grid together. I don't know everythig, but it seems that if seti errors out the PC will need a reboot to use CUDA again (GPU-Grid also erros). But there may be more.

Stock shaders for 9600GT are 1.625 GHz. I'd put the clocks at NV stock for one WU or 2 and switch to the old values afterwards [if successful ;) ].

Turns out that this didn't work for me. The GPU task runs for a few seconds and then fails out followed by any queued tasks for that day.

I have reinstalled Boinc as a service so changing profile should not interfere with the tasks. I'll update this thread with my findings.

I don't think you can run the GPU tasks as a service (a limitation of CUDA itself I believe).

I'm testing 6.6.16 Beta http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_6.6.16_windows_intelx86.exe and it seem to work now with XP Prof 32 Bit. Working now since 4 hours without an error... Let me see more tomorrow.

Joe

I don't think you can run the GPU tasks as a service (a limitation of CUDA itself I believe).

That's correct. The Windows installation process for both 6.4.5 and 6.4.7 explicitly states that you can not install BOINC as a service if you want to use CUDA.

I have BOINC running as a service on all my Windows machines *except* for the one where I'm running CUDA. Can't install it as a service there.

Mike

The issue is only with Vista.
On XP it worked all the time with BOINC installed as a service...

A few minutes before finishing the WU I got "incorrect function (0x1) exit code 1" with 6.6.16... Now I'm testing 6.6.17...

Any ideas for the error 193 with the 185.13 drivers on Debian 64b ?

Just had 4 errors on my Vista machine......looks like my fellow crunchers have errored out too. Is there a bad batch of Wu's out there atm? Just thought its worth checking as my GTX 295 is a factory overclock card and it could possibly cause some errors.

This one was completed by someone else but had error at same time as one of the other WU's....possibly killed when he other one went...i dont know

A long string of compute errors to report (task ids):

426788 4 errors
426924 3 errors
427001 4 errors, 1 canceled
427056 2 errors
427583 3 errors
425600 1 error

The error counts are as of the posting of this note ... obviously these may rise by tomorrow or when ever you all at the project look at these ...

These all look like "new" and "improved" tasks so ... maybe back to the drawing board ...

Certainly one of the batches sent yesterday was corrupted.
*pYIpYV1*
I am canceling them out.

sorry about that,
ignasi

The aborts came through ok - it picked up an additional two bad ones in the queue lurking from the same batch as the three that bombed out earlier this morning UTC time.

Many Thanks - Crunch On :)

Help! I have 3 identical winXP AMD 4200 x2 systems with evga 9600gso 384mb cards that have been running GPUGRID happily for at least a month, and suddenly about a week ago ALL of them started giving errors simultaneously. All WUs now crash within seconds of starting. I have tried lots of fixes: going back to stock clocking, underclocking, rebooting, updating drivers, etc. Nothing makes any difference. There have been no changes to my system other than WinXP auto updates. My conclusion is that there was a change in GPUGRID WUs and the problem is not on my side. Here is my typical crash:

WOW! Now I have 3 complete WUs with 6.6.17/WinXP and only one error...
Kind regards

>Did you change anything?
Yes, I have a second GPU (GeForce 8800 GT) inside and made the update to 6.6.17. But in to moment ist 3:3... See here: http://www.gpugrid.net/results.php?hostid=29092
I belive that problem is inside XP! The same card works in Vista http://www.gpugrid.net/results.php?hostid=24499 without problems and the vista working card make errors in XP...

Kind regards
Joe

Hmm sadly again error but most nasty it was finished but when sending started it gave an error
Also not a reason given why it crashed also.
this one
So i guess still some problems

• Have you used driver cleaner before installing a new driver? Driver Cleaner Professional Free. Newer paid version is here: http://www.drivercleaner.net/
  
• If it is XP home log in to safe mode and check the security permissions to your Boinc folders
  
• I'm a bit confused as to why the system is reporting that you have 2 x GTX295's when you say it is a Geforce 8800GT. Is that normal?
  
• Run a CPU/GPU stress test on your XP machine and see how it fare's. The new one that people are recommending is OCCT
  
• Check your memory

Now I have complete 2 more WUs with XP
