"...<a> Q6600 doesn't have SSE4.2 which is required for GPU folding. Please disable your GPU in your client on this system..."

Noted...I'll swap the card into a "newer" rig.

Thank you all...

The re-install of an older NVIDIA driver seems to have done the trick... We're over 96 hours with no hiccups in operation, so we'll call this one "resolved." What was wrong with the driver/hardware combo? No idea. Why did a previous version of the driver work, and a newer version not work?...

...so after a couple more times with one or both GPUs "Failed," I scuttled the current NVIDIA driver 555.99 and re-installed a much older driver 472.12 (It was the only one I could find) and after 36 hours, things are folding along quite nicely. What prompted me to do that? It was about th...

PPS -- Drivers -- all off the NVIDIA site (always). I think it's 555.xx which is current.
