I am running a windows 7 64 bit with an amd 6800hd radion card. I get a repeated graphics driver failed when boinc is open I am running the seti program. I have upped the time on the driver failure but still I am getting multiple failures a day. I have uploaded the latest beta drivers same thing any suggestion. |

BOINC doesn't use your GPU unless it's running a screen saver. The Seti project has applications that do use it for calculations and these can strain your GPU so much that you get things like you're seeing. However, to get adequate help on that, you better post at the Seti forums, since it's pretty likely that it's their application(s) causing the driver reset. If you have active RAC more than 1, post a query at the Number Crunching forum. If your RAC is lower than 1, post in the Helpdesk forums. |
