Recently every time my system starts crunching work units using my gpu, my display drivers crash and the work being processed by the GPU just sits and shows the processing time going up. I haven't done anything to the system recently that should be causing this on my end. Searching back a few months on the forums, I don't see anyone else having problems.
Any ideas where I can start looking to find what the problems are? Is there a known version of drivers that works or does not work?
Card is an ati 6870 with 1G mem.
E@H is the only project I am running.

Is the only GPU active application the BOINC? What drivers are you running? Is the GPU overclocked? I get either driver crashes or validation error when OC-ing even a bit the GPU. Run GPU-Z and tell us the temps when running. Also, how much of the memory gets used.

Only running BOINC. This is when I am not using the system. Driver Ver. 10.200/1062.10904 WHQL/Win7 64. GPU is not ever overclocked. Temps typically sit right at 61-62 as I run an accelerated fan profile since I had some issues with a game I was running causing crashes due to heat. Once I modified the fan profile, I have not had a game crash yet but E@H still does. GPU load is 88%, Mem usage is 441 MB dedicated and 40 MB dynamic.

I think the issue may be, becase you are using an old GPU, that entered Legacy driver support (meaning, no new driver support) last December if i remember correctly. I am not exactly sure how the Beta-OPENCL-Ati fares with such drivers, you can try signing out of the Test tasks and see if the old ones will work correctly for you.
