1) Message boards : Number crunching : Computing error on ATI HD6950 (Message 64422) Posted 25 Mar 2016 by Victor Post: I could not find this setting either, I guess the user cannot choose what type of task to work on/not work on. I browsed my completed tasks and after 2 days, I already have 23 of them reported and I can confirm that they are the only ones failing to compute. I hope it will be fixed eventually, for now I just ignore the errors... Thanks for your help.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Computing error on ATI HD6950 (Message 64417) Posted 24 Mar 2016 by Victor Post: Are you leaving one cpu core free just to feed the gpu? I did not do this previously but I just tried it now and it still fails. I also tried to pause all the other tasks and run it, without success. To me the only possible explanation is an incompatibility with the newest driver for this card. I could not find any log about the error, is there a way to have more information about what went wrong ? I really don't want to go back to older drivers because I also use this PC for gaming. If there is no other solution to get these tasks right, is it possible to ask MW@home to not send me these specific tasks but still send the other GPU tasks ? Or should I just ignore the errors ? I don't know the real consequences of reporting failed jobs for MW@home, I suppose these tasks are just sent again to an other user ? Is this affecting the global computing efficiency ?

Also, the GPU application that seem to run properly only take around 20s to complete, is it normal ? Here is a screenshot: http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/Dadou148/screenshot_zpsc1ooubha.jpg I am using Windows 8.1 with the latest ATI driver (catalyst 15.7.1). I have a Phenom II x4 955 CPU, ATI Radeon HD6950 Graphics card and 8 GB of RAM. Tell me if you needmore information.
