Thanks! That's probably what I need to do. Right now I just have both GPUs plugged into the same display, mirrored in the OS.

Plugged in a display and it works! It was very odd. The instant I plugged in a display, I heard the fans spin much faster and the power use jumped by 100 watts! Now the PC is using 500 watts continuously. I never would have thought it would go to a low power mode without a display plugged in. It's a...

Hello everyone, I have a desktop with an Nvidia GTX 770 and an AMD 7870. I got the 7870 for free and was hoping to increase my PPD. It should do 50 or 60k ppd. The 770 does around 100k and I use that for my primary display. I do not have a second display. I can't figure out what the problem is, but ...

But in the future, how can I check which work units have been completed by other contributors? You posted earlier on the projects that failed for me. Then I'd be able to do some troubleshooting myself in the future.

Ah ok. In the mean time, I'll just use 6.41... at least until I get work units it can't complete.
Thanks for your advice though! I'll wait a few months and try v7 again if there are any new drivers

I tried both programs and they didn't find any errors. Any other suggestions?

This is my second mainboard (the first was replaced by the idiots by the German Lenovo support center even though it wasn't a problem... it was a faulty wwan card...). I had similar problems with gpu fah in the past as well. I find it hard to believe I have two identically faulty mainboards on more ...

I have an quadro fx 880m on a thinkpad w510. Sorry, I don't think I stated that. I have the lenovo supplied drivers (268.24) and they have the same problems as the direct from nvidia drivers (whatever the newest were, I forget... 284 or something). I don't think that my laptop is very common. I don'...

Well, the solution for me seems to be using an older client as well. v7 seems to be giving me only WUs in the 5700's (such as the ones in the title of this thread). None of those seem to work on my computer as they fail immediately. idk if it's my computer, the v7 installation, driver or what, but t...

Interesting, but I thought that they still use the same core so it should be functioning the same.

yeah I've had the mainboard replaced once already and it was identical before with the non Lenovo drivers. I know that the points are only given if they are completed but in the console it doesn't display the points. It says unknown, unlike for SMP. I never had a problem with the drivers from about ...

Here's some of the log: 02:34:15:Unit 01: 02:34:15:Unit 01:*------------------------------* 02:34:15:Unit 01:Folding@Home GPU Core 02:34:15:Unit 01:Version 1.31 (Tue Sep 15 10:57:42 PDT 2009) 02:34:15:Unit 01: 02:34:15:Unit 01:Compiler : Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 14.00.5...

I'm also getting no credit for the units that don't fail. In FAHControl, none of them show up as having any credit value.

I'm getting a number of failed work units. Ok, so yes I am running this on a laptop with both SMP and GPU with the new v7 console and I understand heat is an issue but this is a thinkpad with quadro graphics so I expect it to be as stable as a decent desktop. Also, I never once had problems with hea...
