Which projects are being assigned to you? If you're configured with the default setting for client-type, then no, you can't prevent those assignments. If you have set that value, removing the setting will reduce those assignments to a rare case. There's something odd somewhere- Utopia-Phoenix says ...

Since posting the OP I've also had a single error from 171.67.108.204,but (so far!) just the one.

Ah, sorry, I misread your question. My bad. I realised when I read this bit: Also, it does almost nothing to change the PPD. The VRAM isn't overclocked- it's a GTX 980 under Linux and I can't change it, If I could I would probably have underclocked it by now, there's another thread on here somewhere...

OK, thanks.

Is your VRAM overclocked? Yes, but in the nearly 9 months I've had the card it has successfully completed more than 1700 WUs (>450 Core_21's, ~120 P9704's) on the same settings and (to the best of my recollection) this was the first time that particular error has occurred on any WU. So it seemed mo...

Depending why they fail I don't always report bad WUs, but as this one didn't even get to 0%...

As I said in my OP, there appears to be a periodic/cumulative effect involved.

With my experience (GTX 970) the linux driver version 346.96 for folding is the fastest and most stable version (Linux mint mate 17.2). I'd go along with that- 2x GTX 980's, same OS, a few % faster in terms of TPF, no noticeable change in BS frequency. FWIW I'm only having problems with WUs from a ...

When I last updated my drivers I went from 346.35 to 355.11, which seemed more stable but gave a drop in PPD of ~5%.

Might I be better off by dropping back to 346.96?

(GTX 980 & GTX 780 Ti)

Thanks for that, very interesting. Must admit I was under the impression that the memory clock could be adjusted just like the graphics clock, but closer examination (plus experiment) shows you are perfectly correct :( I'm reluctant to run the cards in a Windows box- apart from any other reason I ha...

I haven't had enough of these for this to be conclusive, but it has happened several times and I haven't seen it with other projects. I put it forward as perhaps suggesting something that a developer may recognise. Or not, as the case may be. It relates to my GTX 980's, NVidia 355.11 drivers (Linux)...

I'll take your word for that, I don't run Windows.

But using the bigbeta flag as outlined earlier could still be a useful stop-gap until the problem is sorted out (or a workaround found).
