    Unaccountably, I am getting a lot of errors such as this  while that shows 

    "..network access is denied.." I assume that is not the real problem.

     

    Anyway, I am running pair of new 1070 and they dont seem to work and I cannot see a problem.

    =================

     

    Also, it would be nice if the output of STDERR would show the gpu that was used as I cannot tell if the last good result was the gtx570 and it would be helpful STDERR printed the "dots" without putting a <CR><LF> after each "." so the end of the error file can be seen w/o having to to a lot of paging.

     

    TIA

    The driver you are using is

      The driver you are using is not the latest, which makes me wonder whether you did driver removal, remove card, add card, driver install with "clean install" selected sequence.

      If you have not indeed done that, I suggest you do so, using the driver the nvidia site offers for your combination of card and OS.  I, personally, run a GTX 1070 on current Einstein GPU work, so it can work.

      Regarding the actual error message, if you use your keyboard "end" key, you can get right to this, for one of your errors, which may give someone more expert than I an idea to suggest:

        Thanks.

         

        I upgraded to 376.33 and immediately got nvidia display reset errors when boinc started.  GPUGRID was running, not einstein as I had stopped einstein before updating.  I also checked gpugrid and sure enough there were errors there so it was not just einstein causing the problem.  This is an older core 2 quad system, EVGA 132-YW-E178-FTW motherboard (i780 chipset) and maybe its lifetime has expired.  I did get einstein tasks to complete w/o error on that 375 driver but do not know if they will be validated (boinctasks did not indicated an error when the task completed unlike other tasks)

         

        Anyway, I will have to debug the problem and possibly transfer the new video board to a better system.  It is possibly the nvidia display reset was caused by the 375 being replaced by the 376 but I did stop boinc before the upgrade.

        All of my systems are core 2 quad so they are quite dated for these latest video boards.

          I would try if removing current Nvidia driver with DDU + reinstall would help.

          http://www.wagnardsoft.com/content/display-driver-uninstaller-ddu-v17043-released

          Extract package. Then run DDU program file as administrator. Let it reboot Windows into Safe Mode. Once DDU starts again let it run cleaning and reboot.

          Download CCleaner Free, Eusing Free Registry Cleaner or something similar and clean registry. Reboot.

          Then install Nvidia driver.

          If the driver keeps resetting one thing you could try is down-clocking those cards a little bit, for example with MSI Afterburner. http://download.msi.com/uti_exe/vga/MSIAfterburnerSetup.zip
