So far clean install even in a different folder didn't help.
It crushes video driver sometimes with followed automatic restoration, sometimes without (so I have monitor in sleep mode and have to reboot computer myself).
Any other thing goes just well. Even games. Didn't have a try for other gpu projects, don't want to. So if nobody can look at this situation, I'll quit using GPU on this machine until next upgrade.

Does anyone know how can I

Does anyone know how can I add a new venue in my Einstein settings? I want to add this host to a specialized venue, because others are already used by other hosts. Point me out please.

AFAIK the 3 (Home, Work, School) are hard coded, no way for users to add new. It might be easy for the admins to add some new ones to the list.

Actually there are 4 venues as the 'default' one can be setup as a separate one too. Beyond that you are correct PrimeGrid for example has a bunch, these are my unused ones over there:
Add separate preferences for Venus
Add separate preferences for Earth
Add separate preferences for Mars
Add separate preferences for Jupiter
Add separate preferences for Saturn
Add separate preferences for Uranus
Add separate preferences for Neptune

So it can be done, but the Project needs to do it.

Just made cleaning from the

Just made cleaning from the old NVidia driver. Then checked the disk and removed all folders that might be used by NVidia.
Reinstalled driver v.347.52 now for different language (English instead of Russian). That didn't help.
Attached to a Seti@Home. CUDA tasks failed exactly in the same manner.
Any other tasks (OpenCL for Intel, CPU) work smoothly.
Downloaded VMT http://mikelab.kiev.ua/ to test video memory.
All DirectX and OpenGL memory tests run without any error.
But CUDA test runs into an error 300. Don't know what does it mean.

Does anyone can point me out to a person, who can help me with such situation?
I guess the last thing that I should try is to put this card into another host, just to see what happens.

Just found that OpenCL works

Just found that OpenCL works on this card normally. Though I can't understand why. I thought NVidia's OpenCL is working based on CUDA libraries.
Does anybody know OpenCL supporting projects for NVidia to test?

Found myself Milkyway@home to support OpenCL on NVidia. Trying out now. 3 tasks completed without error, but not validated yet. Einstein is now working on CPUs only...

MilkyWay OpenCL tasks

MilkyWay OpenCL tasks completed successfully. So I have to set BOINC to use GPU only for MilkyWay and to use CPU for Einstein. Any ideas how to do that?
P.S. all venues are busy for other hosts...

You can use an exclude line in your cc_config.xml file like this:

http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/
0

This way you can have your pc on a venue that allows both cpu and gpu units, but the exclude section will prevent you from getting any gpu units from Einstein. You can have multiple exclude sections if needed.

Thanks Mikey! It did really help. It's sad that I have to retire my top rig of Einstein, but it yet can help with Milky Way!
