You are welcome. So I will upgrade to 7.0.18. and observe. Still running 7.0.15.

Since there are not many posts about invalid, I will post the links to WUs which validated for me but not to somebody else.

If you get this info anyway I guess you will tell me. No need to do not necessary posts.

I have run one WU (this one).
It's still waiting for validation but I didn't have any problems (except that the app uses a full CPU core). The host is this one.

12 hours, said 100% but had not completed. I stopped another task to let this one finish and about 30 seconds later "computation error"!

WHY? I can't make out this stuff.

About run times.
One of my tasks finished on my ATI HD6850 2GB versus an Nvidia GTX570:

I'd say, continue sending work like this to CUDA only. What's the use, really, when OpenCL is so poorly slow? Or it's OpenCL on my GPU that's so poorly slow, seeing how the next task was a clincher to see who validated on an all OpenCL show. All I know is that that task restarted multiple times, and these OpenCLs don't like to be restarted.

Anyway, I've for now run my cache dry, in anticipation of my new motherboard and CPU. If all is well, I'll be changing later today, from my present Asrock H55DE3 with an i3-530, going to an Asrock Extreme3 Gen3 with an i5-2500K (Although I wished it could've been an i7-2600K).

Wonder what that does for Windows 7... ;-)

They say most of your brain shuts down in cryo-sleep. All but the primitive side, the animal side. No wonder I'm still awake.

I've tried to run the ati openCL app on my main system.
They all failed after few seconds, sometimes with a blue screen.

They also fail when running only one app per GPU.

Any ideas?

Edit
Updated CCC to 12.3 and BM to 7.0.25 before.

I just made a complete reset of the project on my mainsys; looks like that solved the problem.
The first task is running now for > 9 min which did never happen before.
Can it be that some of the files in the albert-directory were outdated and not replaced by downloading wu's? I did run albert wu's some months before.

2 Bluescreens later:

That (censored) (censored)(censored) ATI-Driver!
I googled for Bluescreen atikmpag.sys windows 7
and found really a lot of postings pointing to that problem. Sorry, no solution found.

Looks like I need to detach from that project on my mainsys for now, waiting for ATI updates.
It's intresting, MW, Collatz, Seti and donation(gpugrid donation project) all work fine.

OK, always look at the bright side of life
