I have been getting results similar to the following on a substantial number of tasks. A few are successful, but the majority are getting an "Error while computing" after only a few seconds. I have no idea why this is happening. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. I have an Nvidia GeForce 9300 video card with current GeForce 335.28 (non-beta) drivers.

Error text from one of your failed tasks - this may help those that follow identify the problem, buit it looks as if you are having memory management issues:

Given that all the current errors are from your GPU I would point my finger in that direction....

Message 1504063 - Posted: 14 Apr 2014, 18:09:19 UTC - in response to Message 1504024.  

I've made some modification to my computing preferences in Seti and other BOINC projects. I'll see if that fixes the issue. Thanks for the help and advice.
