Message 1501474 - Posted: 8 Apr 2014, 20:20:30 UTC

Over in Getting Started, a new user is having trouble with her AMD computer. Looks like her GPU is going to invalid all her results. So far there are 11 invalid. Don't think she has enough credits yet to post here so I am posting with a link if anyone can give her some ideas.

Initial guess - according to the results returned, her video card is only allotted 64MB of RAM. Perhaps this is too little and is causing problems?

No, she is using buggy drivers.

I`ve replied there.

Mike, could you pop back and make sure she's updated the drivers correctly as her GPU is still churning out lots of invalids :-(

She hasn`t changed the drivers yet.

Unfortunately, not much we can do until she checks her stats or the bulletin board :( Hopefully it won't take more than a few days.

She hasn`t changed the drivers yet.

She'll also have to delete her compilations (or do a remove & add project) as they will have been done on her old driver, just changing the driver won't fix it.
