hi :) i've got a new graphics card a few weeeks ago and instantly tried boinc with einstein@home. it worked pretty good for a while but now i have a problem: my screens turn black for a few seconds and turn back on than with a speach bubble in the bottom right corner saying that my display drivers crashed and got restored. i dont know why and when my computer does that but here is my quetion: what can i do againt it? my system: intel xeon X5260 (2 cores, 4 threads, 3,33 GHz) gigabyte r9 390 gaming g1 graphics card (not overclocked) with 2 screens connected my hard drive ist nearly full (33,7 GB free, free for boinc: 33,68GB) using windows 7 professional boinc is allowed to use 50% of my cpu (sometimes 75% but even than the problem is showing) and i've set einstein@home up to use 0.16 GPUs per task (with 0.5 cpus, wich was preset). i've done this because one task did only use the gpu at maxmimum to 50% and not all the time. Sorry for my bad english, please excuse that. hope to hear an answer soon. if you have questions please ask Timo :) |

The only options I think you have is trying different drivers until you find one that's sturdy enough and doesn't crash, or not use the GPU for calculations. There is a slight possibility it's a power supply unit issue, where the PSU isn't strong enough to power the whole system. Do you know what brand, model and strength PSU you have? |

my psu is a 1000w one, it should be able to handle. but the graphicscard needs 2 8 pins and i only had one 8 pin and one 6 pin. so i bought an adapter from 6 to 8 and used it @juha thanks, but if i see right there isnt a real solve. there is just written that you should turn the Parkes PMPS XT off. what i did now, but im not sure, it will help |
