Computation Error With CUDA Workunits

(moderation:
I'm having computation errors on CUDA workunits. The workunits run for a few seconds and then abort. The following is the info on my video card. I've also tried video driver version 258.96. I'm using BOINC 6.10.18
10/16/2010 7:01:25 PM NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 260 (driver version 19038, CUDA version 2030, compute capability 1.3, 896MB, 583 GFLOPS peak)
Below is one of the aborted workunits.

The card and computer are not overclocked.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi
Boinc has problems properly detecting your card:
I'm not so much an expert on Windows, but I think I remember that this can happen if you run BOINC as a service and/or are logging into the Windows host via remote desktop when starting BOINC.
So maybe you should try to start BOINC manually instead of running it as a service first.

Thanks. I changed to version

Thanks. I changed to version 6.10.58 and set it to run as an application (not as a service). The CUDA app seems to be running now.
Since you are still using XP,

Since you are still using XP, you could revert to Protected Application Execution (service) mode. Only Vista and above prohibit the GPU from being recognized in PAE mode.

RE: Since you are still

It was running in protected application mode. I was also using remote desktop to connect to the computer from another computer. I have put realvnc back on the computer. I had problems previously connecting to the computer with realvnc which is what led to using remote desktop. I had to upgrade the video driver for Einstein at home to use CUDA and that seems to have realvnc working again. Maybe it wont break.
I'm going to leave it alone for now, since it's working.

I'm having the same problem:

However, I'm on Linux (64 bit) and BOINC correctly detects my GT 240 card (and reports it in the log window). Also I can run GPU-grid units without any problems.
Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions ?
Thanks

Hmm...is that a 64 bit Boinc or a 32 nit BOINC? All the E@H apps are 32 bit and maybe your drivers only support 64 bit apps? I faintly remember that whenever I install new NVIDIA drivers on my 64 bit machines the installer will ask me whether I want to install 32 bit libs also...just a thought.

Thanks Bikeman, I'm using

Thanks Bikeman,
I'm using the CUDA stuff from rpmfusion, but fortunately they also supply the 32 bit libs. Installing these seem to have solved the problem: my GPU is busy right now.
You're welcome.

You're welcome.
