All work units fail within a few seconds on both of my 570's. They are both running driver 285.62. Do I need to upgrade the drivers? Appreciate any ideas on how to fix this.

BOINC is trying to use a device which seems not to exist.
Don't quite know why. We are looking into it.

For some reason your system is reporting as having both Nvidia and AMD OpenCL platforms, though the machine has only Nvidia GPUs. The application is erroneously selecting the latter and then failing when it can't acquire a device. the next version of the app should work around this.

Thanks. Do we know how long that will be?

Do you have ATI and Nvidia driver installed somehow?

Command line options set a device that doesn't exist
Detected memory leaks!


Maybe cards had been swapped around and not unregistered fully.

If your cayman was in your W7 system, and your NVidia cards were all in the XP system, that would bring balance to the force.

Never had an ATI card in this system, so I don't think that's the problem, but I'll check and get back to you. I really don't want to move the 570's to my xp system and the ati to the win7. Surely there is another solution.

Driver Sweeper found 2 ati references. They have been removed, rebooted, detached and reattached to project. Still getting immediate Computational Errors. Ugh!
