The number of work-units failing on my Nvidia 9800GT card have been steadily increasing to a point earlier this week where it trashed about 80 SETI work units and 8 GPUGrid units in a row and won't complete anything new. Yesterday afternoon I noticed that my display was missing some text and all the screen effects (fading windows etc) were taking ages. I turned off all the effects and the problem went away, it then occured to me that the Nvidia drivers would be used for any animation effects etc. I have now re-installed the 180.44 driver available for Ubuntu and I have already seen a couple of SETI work-units being returned as complete.
I'm hoping this improves my situation and allows me to get some credit for a change. Here's holding thumbs!!
