    Noob here. I just started getting computation errors in Einstein and Cuda Initiation failures in SETI. I'm running two GPU's 1-GTX 950 and 1-K600 on W10. The only thing I've done recently is update an nvidia driver for the 950 so I rolled that back to the last update when it was stable on BOINC. As far as I know I haven't had any windows updates recently. I was running both GPU's with a config file edit and now both get errors like I mentioned above. I'm not sure how to get detailed error logs other than the event log. If more info is needed I'll need some help with the location of said data.

      To get more data on the failures you could go to your account here on the site and on the lower left click on the affected machine, on the next page click on the link next to "Tasks". This will get you a listing of all tasks assigned to your machine and the link in the leftmost column will get you more info about the task.
      In the stderr output section one gets a log output from the application and for your failing tasks it reports:

      Error generating generic FFT context object [5]
      11:12:29 (12220): [CRITICAL]: ERROR: MAIN() returned with error '5'

      When you rolled back your driver update did you do a clean install?
      When using the Nvidia driver installer and choosing "Advanced" there should be a check box to do a clean install.

        I'll try doing a clean install of the driver. Here is the Error code.

          Rolling back the one driver for the 950 with a clean install seemed to fix both which is weird but it worked. Thanks for the help.
