Just some general house keeping ideas

Have you tried rebooting the system and see if that helps?

Did you do a clean install after you placed the new GPU in?

If neither works, I'd suggest posting the first 20 lines of start up from the event log.

Ok, I'm reading this from another webpage.

Are you using some sort of Cuda toolkit?

If so, is the driver version the same number or later than the toolkit?

All I have at the moment. I'll keep looking. Hopefully some of the others will be by sooner than later and have some more ideas.

I see that all the CUDA tasks were delivered for the former 9600 GT and 9800 GT cards, and are SETI@home v7 7.00 windows_intelx86 (cuda23). That's not the version one would want a GTX 560 to be using, but I do not recall whether it should successfully run. There are experts here who will know.

Well something has changed.

Looking at his results, I'm seeing that the work units on his GPUs are starting to report and be validated.

Checking the stderr and they are running on the GTX 560 and getting validated so maybe he figured out what was causing the problem.

Looks like Boinc is only using the 560, probably the other is being ignored.

Hopefully he will post what changes he made so it may help others in the future.

Ok so I updated my boinc setiahome to the current version I upgraded the nividia driver to 340.62 . I installed the Nividia 9800 and am running in SLI and it still was spazzing . So I went to the lunatic website and down loaded enhanced seti and it started working .

Looking good, now actually processing with "setiathome enhanced x41zc, Cuda 3.20" on both the 560 and 9800. BOINC will of course account the results against the stock cuda23 version the scheduler originally told your host to use, the Lunatics installer is designed to keep existing tasks alive that way.

When you get new work it will be for anonymous platform and have ridiculous estimates to start, but the completed count should build quickly to the "more than 10" for the Scheduler to start using the average.

If you installed the OpenCL APv7 app, note that the 340.62 drivers would cause bad results for tasks processed on the 9800. See the @Pre-FERMI nVidia GPU users: Important warning thread.

I think I was so desperate to make this work I tried things that should not have worked but did. This is example of dumb luck. The other poster helping me said to make sure all the version numbers matched and I also uninstalled all the extra toolkit stuff that I had installed from the driver cd. So I owe him a big thanks. This is why seti@home is so wonderful when there is an issue people come together with their knowledge and try to help. Thanks again for your help.
