I tried to run E@H on my new

    I tried to run E@H on my new secondary rig (http://einsteinathome.org/host/5448695).

    It always posts an error log message when it tries to get work for GPU. I have disabled CPU usage. I checked the log: http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu//host_sched_logs/5448/5448695

    I have the latest Catalyst driver installed (12.4) and tried it. It failed, I read that the Catalyst APP SDK could be the reason and uninstalled it. Still, I get the error message you can see above.

    What can I do to get it working?

    Thanks in advance.

      I've run this project before but now I have issues. After 3 failed tasks I updated the driver to the latest version and detached/reattached to the project.
      Here's the error message from the failed tasks.

      application version Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo) v1.24 (atiOpenCL)
      Stderr output

      There was an error while deleting the color transform. (0x7e3) - exit code 2019 (0x7e3)

        I'm still getting errors so until I can figure out what's going on or someone here can point me in the right direction I'll have to put E@H on hold.

          It seems the problem was BOINC 7.0.28 for me. I uninstalled it and installed 7.0.27. First task completed in 2.49 hours. Second now in progress. Time will tell.

            New Catalyst 12.6 driver is out; installed it and it indicates proper version again.

            Next to see if it breaks anything with BOINC/E@H...

              please do tell, b/c i also have v12.4 successfully installed, but misrepresented as v11.5, on one of my hosts...not that's causing problems or anything (i know that i'm actually running v12.4 despite it being misrepresented b/c the new Einstein app crunches just fine on my HD 6950). so i guess i really don't need to change drivers...but if v12.6 works, then maybe its worth it to update just for peace of mind and not having to remember what driver version i'm truly running lol...

                Sorry, there will be a 1 day delay as my Norton's AV was running all night for some reason (rebooted to get it to stop) tripping the 25%CPU usage and kept BOINC from crunching.

                Crunching away as I type and will let you know the results.

                  I have been running the 12.6 beta for about a month with no issues on my 7770 card.

                    Well, just crunched through 3 WUs and everything validated fine.

                    Looks good to go.
