Hi, just noticed all newly downloaded work units are failing after about a second of running with the error "Computational Error"? Any ideas |

**UPDATE* The failing workunits all begin "ps_separation_82_2s_mix1_2..." |

They appear to be running ok on other machines - suspect something may have changed at your end. Any updates just completed ? ... Have a look at anti-virus to check that the MW directory (and others including BOINC Data directory for that matter) are on the exceptions list. Post again if still happening - always someone around who will pick up an issue Regards Zy |

Downgrade to Catalyst 11.9 |

G'Day mark, I have just run some test work units and found my reliable machine was giving the same errors as you are getting. A Reset did not work. A detach/reattach did not work (I did this twice). A Reboot of the computer actually got things working again, so if you haven't done this it could be worth a try. (My other computer with same software and graphic cards has no problem (although it did give a BSOD with Milkyway running). Conan |

Stopped boinc and repaired it but still get : http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/result.php?resultid=99049735 even on the machine which had it xp32 replaced by xp64 and fresh install of drivers 266.58 and boinc 6.10.60, so MW@H is exit for the moment. |

Stopped boinc and repaired it but still get :Apparently you need newer drivers for the new one. I raised the Nvidia driver requirement to 280.xx; I think you should now still get the old one if your drivers are older than that now. |

And which are stable enough for MW@H and other boinc projects. Not playing any games just folding. XP 64, Asrock 870 xtreme, 8GB Kingston 1600 and a Phenom II X4 945 |

Perhaps I'll start MW@H again if I know which driver is most stable. Atm no probs with Collatz so ......... |

I believe it should work if you try 1.02 with your current drivers. My workaround for the Nvidia problem seems to have worked. |

Had installed 275.33 to see everything keeps crunching so will check it soon. |

Since the change I too am getting this error. I have completely removed and reinstalled BOINC to the latest version 6.12.34. I'm running Windows 7 x64 with the latest ATi drivers on a 6950 (unlocked to 6970). This problem just began, but I have been running with this configuration prior to the change in the files being downloaded. I don't do this all the time, and just run the program when I'm at my computer with some spare time/cycles to kill. Help would be appreciated, but I don't have time to site and mess with custom configuration XML file building and a bunch of other crap. I don't mind contributing to the project, but I need an application I can install, attach to the project, and have it work like it should. Thanks |

It seems it's OK at the moment, now I'm having Collatz-problems with that specific card (can't find mem-errors) ?????, and I let that card crunch on MW@H for a while. |

I was experiencing issue with the catalyst 12.1 drivers. BOINC would report no compatible GPU for my unlocked 6950. Had to downgrade drivers to 11.9 and run the 1.02 app_info.xml from Arkayn, to get it to run GPU tasks. 12.1 is not all that stable I would get crashes in several of my game with it as well. |

I have had about 15 work units with the Compute error of 1 (0x1) Unknown error number, but at the same time on the same machine I have over 300 that are valid during the same time.

Well, I guess that puts me out of M@H until they fix this. My system, games included, have been rock solid with the 21.1 drivers and I just don't don't feel like downgrading drivers and messing with custom XML files to run this project. |

You can get the previous and actual version on arkayn's site. They include an app_info.xml. Stop boinc, unpack them into your mw directory and start boinc again. If you need help modifying that app_info, post again with your question. |

After approx 01.00 UTC all 0.82 (ati14) GPU tasks deadline dated 27/2/2012 02:03++ failed with computation error. All remaining unstarted GPU tasks have been aborted. The option for no new tasks is initiated. Please advise. |
