Message 54229 - Posted: 29 Apr 2012, 5:46:22 UTC

Got a bunch of errors in a row on my gtx570 as shown here for example.

Different type of error for gtx460 system that has two gts250 in addition to the gtx460.

Although I have coded to ignore the gts250 into the cc file, it seems they are being handed tasks that can only run on my gtx460

    13 2012-04-29 12:19:53 AM NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 460 (driver version 296.10, CUDA version 4.20, compute capability 2.1, 1024MB, 954MB available, 907 GFLOPS peak)

As shown here the task was handed to the gts250 which is a mistake. Although shown in the message script above, it would appear the the following is being ignored.

I have read where the exclude stuff is being ignored in the cc_config.xml file and you MUST put it in the other file again. Sorry brain fart I JUST forgot the name of the other file! There are two major ways to tweak Boinc the cc_config.xml file and.....? It is the 2nd one you have to use again.

This was working at one time so something is broken. I did recently move the two GTS250 (which are SLI) from slots 2 and 3 to slots 1 and 2 and put the GTX460 into slot 3. My motherboard has 3 PCIe slots. This move was to mitigate overheating. When I rebooted, I checked the message dialog box (events) and verified that device 1 and 2 were still the GTS250.

I assume they are consistently numbered using 0,1,2 for both messages and not 1,2,3 for another.

Since I posted, I upgraded to BM 7.0.25 but have yet to receive any milkyway tasks. Eventually I will get some and will see if the problem has disappeared.
