I'm having trouble completing ps_separation_xx_xx_free wu's all error out within a few seconds. None of the other work units suffer from this problem and it only happens on my 4850, my 6950 completes all wu's without any problem. Not a huge problem since they error out quickly, just wondering if anyone has a clue on how to fix my problem. Here is the error I consistently get:

<core_client_version>6.10.58</core_client_version>

This happens if the work unit file is for some reason empty, like it wasn't downloaded properly or something. I've seen this a few times recently but I don't know what's causing it.

Just seems strange that it it would happen to ALL ps_separation_xx_xx_free wu's on one computer and not be a problem on the other computer. I did find that some of those same wu's also failed on like gpu's (48xx), but were valid on 69xx series. Like I said, not a huge problem for me since I only get one every 10 to 15 wu's and they fail quickly. Just thought I'd mention it. Thanks for the response Matt.

hello

i would also like to report errors with these tasks..

as it seems the whole last batch got computation errors, although they seem different to those described above, but im unsure which part of the info to copy :) so if anyone would take a look it would be nice...

you can see them in my error tasks, they will be the only ones...come to think of it - i dont remember getting any errors ever on m@h

the runtime is from 3 sec to bout 10 mins....

at the moment my gtx 460 is crunching a wu for 6 mins & to completion time is going up...currently bout 20 mins...

new tasks?

dont recall any going for more than 15-18 mins...

thank you


EDIT: this last task got stuck @ 30% for bout 45 mins with to completion still going up....aborted it :(

what could be causing this?
