No problem with gtx280 on intel vista 64 but both dual opteron pairs (vista and windows 7) rarely finish a cuda result.

I show 30 errors on both factory 9800gtx systems, all timeout. Only 15 results completed and most of those results (like about 10) were cpu only successes. I suspect the "elapsed time value" needs to be made bigger. It is easier to just stop all einstein tasking on those 2 systems and I am bailing out until the timeout problem gets fixed. BM 6.10.6 does not have that FIFO problem anymore so the timeout is not a BM issue IMHO.

Same here...all cuda-WUs error out at 39-40 % with "resource limit exceeded"
for example:http://einsteinathome.org/task/140488321
My system :
Intel Core2Quad 8200
Zotac Nvidia 9800GTX+
4 GB RAM
Windows Vista Home-Pro 64bit
BOINC 6.10.6

Thanks for the

Thanks for the reports.

Well, even tho the Boinc error message is about an excessive time needed to complete the unit, I think it's actally something different that has to be fixed by the developers so I forwarded your reports to them. Stay tuned, and again, thanks for reporting this.
