Anyone else been having any issues? My video driver keeps crashing. Probably started about a week or so ago.

I'm on 335.23 right now. I just updated it a day or two ago but it didn't seem to help.

Maybe my 560 TI is on its way out?

Not necessarily. What is the cards temp? Last summer I could only run GPUGrid on cool nights on my 560 or it would error when it got too hot.
Have you tried the card on Seti? I think that runs cooler.

63 to 66C

I've tried SETI on a couple cards. The credits received for work done don't impress me.

Those temps are good compared to my 560 :(

Re Seti: it takes a certain dedication which I cannot fault :thumbsup:

Oh and I am running the same drivers.

Load power consumption for that card looks fine. Unless you OCed it and OCed a Bulldozer or LGA2011 processor.

Is anything OCed? Might want to reset everything to defaults. If that doesn't work you could try reinstalling Windows, and/or installing Linux and trying it there.

No OC on anything.

FX-8320 (undervolted and stock clock). Samsung EVO SSD and a Seagate 2TB. LG Blu Ray Burner. No gaming lately. It seems to get angry when I fire up chrome and try to do a little surfing.

I've had problems with the 335.23 drivers too, on my GT 430 card in my Gateway slimline computer.

Got a TDR error, then a blue-screen, with the NV kernel driver as the source of the error.

Tried an older driver?

Now it's saying there are no GPU tasks available. Anyone else getting this?
This morning was the same. I had to "Update" several times before getting a WU.

The Server Status page shows no WUs available.

I finally got one. Disappointing though that there doesn't seem to be much GPU work available right now. I like using my video cards for medical projects.

I thought it was odd my video driver hadn't crashed lately. Then I looked at my GPU temp and realized I must have run out of GPUGRID work.

They're saying more work today or tomorrow. My GPUs need a rest anyway! :)

deerslayer, you could try a few Primegrid WUs just to check to see if your card is OK. Proth Prime Search (Sieve) WUs are relatively short (~30 minutes or so).

Some of the GPUGrid WUs are Cuda 6.0 so you do need to use a relatively recent driver (334.21 or later).

Some have complained about problems with app version 8.15 WUs failing so the problem may not be with your card.

I was about to fire up Primegrid last night to bump past 1,000,000 but then I got a GPUGRID work unit, so I didn't.
