End of the Galaxy 9800!

Well, if you look back over the last 4 months that I have had the Galaxy 9800GT card, you have to admit that I have tried almost everything possible to get some credit out of it. It has got to the stage where every SETI and Einstein work-unit stalls after a few minutes and despite running a CPU Benchmark every hour, most times the cant be "unstuck". The GPUGrid work-units error out after a minute or two without fail.
I have removed the 9800GT from service and will attempt to send it back to the on-line store that supplied it. I'm disappointed to say the least as it cost me over $200 at time of purchase and gave problems the whole time. I would strongly recommend that anyone running BOINC avoids this card at all costs!

Might be on to something ...

Having watched carefully, it does appear that my Nvidia 9800 based cruncher works fine for a week or so after the drivers and application exe's have been installed and then slowly but surely the work-units start to hang until no work is done at all.

I'm a bit stumped by this ... maybe files are getting corrupted on the hard drive due to excessive use??

BOINC installation gets "tired"

I upgraded to the newest Nvidia driver as detailed in the last post and GPUGrid ran for around 3 days. Then every single work-unit started to fail ... so, I set it loose on SETI and for almost a week it did really well and then a huge batch of 500 work-units was trashed. Restarted the machine after the weekend and almost every work-unit is failing. I have just gone back to the 182.50 driver as the general consensus is that this is the most reliable one.
So, any ideas? It really appears as if the installation "gets tired" or is corrupted?? Just to add another couple of variables, I have installed the Einstein Beta CUDA client ;-)
We will see what this week brings...
