As a last ditch attempt to get some credit out of my much disliked Galaxy 9800GT card, I have taken it out of the AM2 machine running 64-bit Linux and put it into a 775 machine with a single core 3.06GHz Celeron running 32-bit Windoze. This machine previously was home to a heat-pipe cooled 9400GT running on the NVidia 185.85 driver. On start-up, the driver defaulted to the VGA driver but after the hard-drive churning away for a minute or so, a restart occurred and the screen resolution came right and off it went straight into a GPUGrid work unit.
I left it running overnight but cant see any returned work units this morning. Hopefully it just hasn't done an update yet ... I'll see when I get to the office!
Update: Nope, it's trashing work units even quicker than normal ...GRRRR!
Update 2: Upgraded the NVidia drivers from 185.85 to 186.18 and BOINC from 6.6.31 to 6.6.36. So far have completed 3 SETI work units without a failure. Holding thumbs again!
Update 3: No, still trashing work units in SETI and GPUGrid ...
