In the past day or so I have begun to get many computational errors. The WU just have time to start (1 second) and they become errors. 2,3,4,5 of them in a row. I don't think it is my GTX260, I've never had a problem with it.

Thank you.

I think you will find that there is a batch of "iffy" workunits being distributed at the moment. It has been mentioned in other threads.

Read the Nasty Little Bug thread under Number Crunching - we all seem to be having probs with some specific WUs...

I temporarily attached my GTX295 to MW and the first WU was defective. So it's no mu GPU's.

I have resolved a similar issue with the 64 Bit Linux version, is this happening with the Windows version as well?

On a side note it will take a bit longer to fix the Windows version because I replaced the hard drive that had my Windows installation on it.

Same problem for the last couple of days. Less than 1 second, compute error. Happens on about 50-75 percent of WUs. Win. XP64, 2 Nvidia 260s

Has happened to me on two systems, both XP Pro 32-bit... GTX295 and GTX260 cards... only the ps_11_1s series ...
