GTX 780 & Core 17 problems

It seems that a lot of GPU problems revolve around specific versions of drivers. Though NVidia has their own support structure, you can often learn from information reported by others who fold.

Update:
I'm now running the two GTX 780's on different Win7 machines with driver 320.49.
On one, the machine seems to throw out a bad WU every 36hrs (has done 3 now) - I managed to be in the right place at the right time for the last one, and a Windows message read "display driver nVidia Windows kernel mode driver, version 320.49 stopped responding and has successfully recovered" - though Windows continued running, it seemed to corrupt the WU and carry on. Warnings/Errors below - first WU error is different to the next two;

I changed the PSU to a Seasonic 1050 with a huge single 12V rail; still have an issue with the 780 after about two days working; with Ubuntu 13.04 and xorg-edgers 319 driver.. The system become very laggy; GUI is not responding at all; shell via ssh is also slow.

The TPF gets quite long; more than 5 min; still crunching; but very slow.

In the log file there is nothing special:

Any idea ?

The 780 is from Gigabyte; no overclock. The only "deviation" from factory setting is with coolbits 4 the fan control and set to 75% to keep GPU around 62C

Any idea ? Any similar experience ?

Re: GTX 780 & Core 17 problems

Post by bollix47 »

I've had a similar experience with my gtx 780(no o/c ... temps/power fine). Using the 32x.xx drivers(including the latest beta) every 36-48 hours I'd notice a mild drop in PPD and, if I didn't reboot as soon as I noticed the drop, the computer would eventually freeze up and I had to do a hard reboot(never lost a WU). This behavior occurred in Windows 7 64-bit and Linux 13.04 64-bit. In Linux, nvidia-settings would not even load once the PPD started it's drop and if I tried to load it the mouse and keyboard would stop working and only a hard reboot solved the problem.

There are lots of threads on the internet about the gtx 7xx series of GPUs and the 32x.xx drivers. Some thought it was caused by a memory leak. There was a suggestion to use 314.xx, with a modified inf file so the cards are recognized, but I've been unsuccessful at getting that to work so far.

What I'm doing now to avoid the problem is to reboot the system daily. End of problems. No slow downs and no freezing. The consensus on the web appears to be that this is driver related and hopefully it will be fixed by Nvidia soon.

@bollix47: Yes, the deep freeze I saw the other day. I lost the time of a WU; the client restarted at 0% and crunched again. Bad luck.

Seems that a frequent reboot is right now the only way. Do you know by chance a way to set the fan via shell ? I tried with nvidia-settings and smi but can't really find the right parameter. As I would like to automize the reboot I need a way to reset the fan speed.

Fresh Win 7 install, fully patched, and GTX 760 with 320.xx drivers. Blue screens once a day. I set autologin, and it reboots and starts folding again.

@ChristianVirtual

Look at this post about two thirds of the way down you'll see how I use a bash script to set the fan speed after a reboot (If you find your new fan setting does not survive a reboot ... ).

I've started to record memory usage (system, gpu, core_17) as well as temperatures and will check it every day around the same time (when possible) before the current WU finishes(90% to 99%), reboot after the WU finishes and check again at 2% to 4% of the next WU. Will report if I find anything of interest. The problem may not show up unless I let it run longer but then if it gets to the point where it freezes I won't be able to check the readings. :e?:

Not sure if this would work but if you set-up GPU-Z to log to file and let it run, I think it just might be able to get the last data point before the crash. When you do a hard reset, you can look at the log file and see if there is any valuable data or not.

Thanks for that suggestion PantherX. I'm running on Linux at the moment but will switch over in a few days and give that a try.

Under Windows you can see it in the task manager (or better Process Explorer) -- the system process' working set memory usage keeps growing. Here is an example.

After first 12 hours in rough monitoring available memory I can't (yet) see a significant memory leak.
The red area is the available memory while the blue line indicate the percentage done of WU at that time.

Need to tweak the recording in a better detailed way.

That glitch and delay in the blue line around 2:00 am morning was the server outage.

@Christian

From below post it appears (picture and log) you are running outdated 3.8.0-19 kernel. It may help to update to latest 3.8.0-26 and reinstall 319.32 from xorg-edgers repo to be sure all modules are built against this specific one.

This 3.8.0-26 w 319.32 is working for my GTX770, though it's not the same chip.
