The GPU is running at 70 Celsius which is ok.
The CPU cores run between 55-60 which is ok too.
I have also a question regarding computer time vs cpu time and credits.
A full CPU task gives the following values:
Computer time: 18375 sec
CPU time: 18246 sec
Credits 143
for a GPU taks I have as an example:
Computer time: 1576 sec
CPU time: 240 sec
Credits: 1.9
Do you find these values acceptable. The CPU time mentioned in the second example is it GPU time 240 sec. Why such an enormous difference with computer time. How is the credit system based on CPU time I suppose, but what about GPU time ?

Einstein gives a more or less fixed number of credits depending on what project the task belongs to:[pre]
Gravitational Wave S6 LineVeto = 251.19 Cr on 66 and 251.25 on 1 off my recent tasks.
Gamma-ray pulsar search #2 = 80 Cr
Binary Radio Pulsar Search = 500 Cr
[/pre]
Ok first with GPU credit. It list a very small number until it gets Validated which then turns to 500 credits. You would need to ask the people in charge why that is so.

Looks all normal.

Lets see if I can explain this. "If I error in any way someone can fix it"
Ok GPU task run mostly on What? GPU. Now why does it have CPU time then. Well that has something to do with the data that has to get to GPU to disk and what not. It uses very little CPU time as it reads and writes data. Everything dealing with a computer has to go threw CPU and ram and alot of times hard drive but not always for hard drive. For the GPU to get it's data it has to use CPU. I however can not break the process down more for you but I do understand it.

But I still have an issue. From time to time (one hour) Windows is restarted due to a an unexpected event. In short I have not reached real stability.
Going to need more info. Look for crash logs or a program to log the crash/restart. Most of the time it's heat but it could also be a driver. Lay out all of your specs on your pc. "what motherboard, CPU, GPU, PSU, Ram, with brand names and model number... "ie. Gigabyte Geforce 650 Ti 2GB is my GPU"

Thanks Nobody. It is clear that a GPU taks does use some CPU.
So computer time then means GPU Time. As the same definition is used in both cases CPU and GPU it was confusing.
In my case the GPU time has been of 1576 sec and CPU 240 sec.

Remains the credit calculation that is strange.
In which languaje are you seeing that confusing terms?
In english the web page show "Run Time" and "CPU Time"... The Run time is the total (active) time it took to the task to be finished. While the CPU time is the part of that total time in which the CPU was actively used. For GPU tasks the GPU time is more or less the difference between both times (its not exact because there are some overlap times in which both are used simultaneously)
The Claimed credits are not used anymore, as they were deprecated some time ago with a new system for granting credits.
Those claimed credits are not even close to the credits you will get for the tasks. As Nobody said the granted credits are allways the same for each app and are ussually bigger than what you see in the Claimed credits...
Einsted gives fixed credits (instead of dynamic credits based on running times) because in all their apps the crunching time does not depend on the data beeing analized and then there is no need to equalize the credits dinamically.
Set your energy options in your Control Panel to high performance and set it so the monitor does not shut off; sometimes a driver can crash the OS when this happens.
You can also try slightly underclocking your GPUs.
The use of the Kapersky Pure 2.0 was unique, in general I use the security kit on my 20 rigs and never had any problem with whatever applications.
Now that I took out Pure and used the Securitxy kit all is fine.

The GPU is running stock clock. It is a Ghz edition already factory overclocked.
Regarding W7 it is already set that way. The machine is configured to crunch 24/7, and there is also no screensaver active to interfere on the GPU.
Just a black hole :-)
Is it possible for the GPU tasks like BRP4 to download say 3 days worth of tasks in cache. It works for CPU tasks but I feel not for GPU.
Btw at the moment all BRP servers are down and we get simply no task at all.
