In the last couple of days I have been getting a lot of "Error while computing". The work unit only runs for 1 or 2 seconds. I am not sure if this is the way the units are put together or on my end. I do have other projects running also and I do not get this error from them for the most part.

I'm not an nvidia guy but are you certian that your card/driver combination is capable ofthe double precision this project requires?

I have the EVGA GeForce GTX 760 Video Card with the most current update. Come to think this started after the latest update so that might be the problem. I just updated the drivers 3 or 4 days ago.

Remember that drivers are meant for gaming improvement, not crunching. Newer is not always better, whether you use ATI/AMD or Nvidia.

Especially the last 3 versions, they have actually slowed down crunching time for alot of folks. If you also a gamer that puts you in a tough spot though as the drivers supposedly DID make the gaming refresh rate etc better.
