    Update: this bug is considered as release critical (show-stopper) for the next NVIDIA driver release that's due in 2-4 weeks. Thus a fix will be available by that time.

      Thanks for the updates!! Looking forward to being able to use an updated nvidia driver (for non-BOINC reasons) and not having to use work arounds to keep my cuda tasks working.
      Regards!!

            Is the driver too new?

              FYI, we won't ship any CUDA tasks for systems using a driver newer than 290.53 for the time being. This decision was made to avoid unnecessary computation errors, data set downloads, daily quota reduction and volunteer frustration.

              We're in contact with NVIDIA and we'll try to help them fix the situation as fast as possible. If there's a workaround without user-action (not like "Turn off the display: Never") we'll implement it. Until that time, please understand that the majority of our volunteers might not follow this forum/thread and we need to take care of this problem without requiring them to work around it themselves.

              We'll keep you posted.

              Thanks,
              Oliver

                Yes: Not shipping Windows BRP4 CUDA tasks to recent drivers

                The most recent drivers from NVidia are causing problems with our CUDA application. So for the time being we don't ship any such tasks to machines with drivers version newer than 290.53.

                  Any further news on this as I noticed it was originally posted several weeks ago and I can't be the only user here who has the GTX 680 waiting to be used on this project.

                    New beta drivers (301.24)

                      New beta drivers (301.24) released today! I was trying to test them, but it looks like the server will still not give me any tasks (http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu//host_sched_logs/5099/5099778)

                      Does anyone know if the 301.24 driver fixes the conflicts with the "Turn off display after" setting?
