Hi, I had my PC running for 7 days in a row crunching SETI@HOME with Lunatics optimizations installed. After 7 days however, the AMD driver crashed and Boinc stopped using the GPU from that point on and instead started using the CPU. Windows event log states the following: Der Anzeigetreiber "amdkmdap" reagiert nicht mehr und wurde wiederhergestellt (Which means that amdkmdap has crashed). Temps were all god. Max 59°C GPU core. I had the fans spinning at quite high rpm as well to reduce the risk of overheating. What can I do? The GPU is running at stock frequency. It's a 7970 Gigabyte Windforce 3x @ 1 GHz (stock OCed). AMD driver is the 13.4 WHQL. |

It appears that you started off getting this error 197 (0xc5) EXIT_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED. Then you started just spitting out WU's with 30 signals. Did you free up at least 1 CPU core? IIRC this error The AMD/ATI cards need at least 1 CPU core to feed the GPU. If you are running 3+ WU's on your GPU then free up 2 cores for the GPU feed.

That's how my app_config looks like: app_config> <app> <name>setiathome_v7</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>.25</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>1</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> <app> <name>astropulse_v6</name <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>.25</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>1</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> <app> <name>setiathome_enhanced</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>.25</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>1</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> |

you need to set the % usage either in the BOINC manager or on Seti@home. It can easily be set in your account page. Under Comuting Preferences choose "Use at most " and set it to 50%. this will free up 2 Cores and all your GPU to feed properly. You'll need to update the BOINC manager for this to take effect. Also, I'd set your computers as a separate prefences (work,home,school) since the other one is working fine as is. In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

In theory, with that app_config, BOINC should keep one core free for each running GPU task, so 4 in total: <gpu_usage>.25</gpu_usage> @Dave: Did you reboot after the driver crash? If a crash happens frequently when using th GPU, you should try running less than 4 tasks concurrently. Gruß Gundolf |

Hallo zusammen. Sorry, dass ich auf deutsch schreibe. Habe Boinc 7.0.64 (x64) 2.8.10 auf Win 7 64 Bit.AMD Radeon HD6310 Grafik, AMD E350 Prozessor 1,6 GHz. Mit dem Rechner hatte ich schon viele GPU-Aufgaben berechnet. Seit dem Update auf 7.0.64 hatte ich auch die Fehlermeldung mit dem wiederhergestellten Anzeigetreiber. Es wurde eine Berechnung gestartet, und kurz darauf kam die Fehlermeldung. Gestern hab ich den Grafiktreiber aktualisiert: Datum 30.08.2013 Version 13.152.0.0. Jetzt wird eine Berechnung gestartet, und nach ein paar Sekunden kommt die Meldung: Berechnungsfehler. Leider kann ich nicht mehr nachvollziehen, mit welcher älteren Boinc Version die Nutzung der GPU problemlos geklappt hat. Hat jemand eine Lösung?

Gestern hab ich den Grafiktreiber aktualisiert: Hast Du zwischen dem letzten Treiber-Restart und dem Berechnungsfehler den Rechner neu gestartet?

Hallo Gundolf. Ja, hatte ich. Vorgestern hat Win7 25 Updates gemacht, vorher hatte ich alle Projekte zurückgesetzt. Siehe da: Es klappt!! Schönes We, Stefan |

So, jetzt hat es ein paar Wochen geklappt, jetzt bekomme ich nach ein bis zwei Minuten wieder Berechnungsfehler. Werde noch mal alles zurücksetzen. Wenns dann nicht geht werd ich das ogl versuchen abzustellen. Kann mir einer sagen wie das geht? Wenn ich ogl nicht zulasse, werden trotzdem Rechenaufgaben geschickt, halt nur als gestoppt angezeigt.
