Yeah, I cleaned up the offending data files, then simply restarted and it's off to the races again.

I actually don't think it's permission-related. I have another three-way machine with 450s in it that has been running like a top for a while. Each GPU has completed more than 100 WU (as many as 124) and yesterday entered an EUE pause. Today each card started throwing "Corestatus = 63 (99)"...

Thanks, 7im, the bit about the error being related to permissions is news to me. Here's the info you requested:

target "C:\Program Files (x86)\Folding@home-gpu\Folding@home.exe" -gpu 0

start in "C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Folding@home-gpu"

The very first piece of info in my orig post says it's Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Atom, tell us more about the "load upon Windows startup". I don't see evidence of a service launch in the log so I'm guessing you are putting a shortcut in your Startup Folder. Error 63 (99) is associated with a failure to meet some initial startup requirement. I'm guessing the obvious th...

When something runs for "a little while" that means it's probably heat-related. Are your GPUs 2-slot affairs that push the hot air out the back, or 1-slot types that just recirculate it inside the case? How much cool air can get between the two GPUs or do they just keep each other warm? I...

Yes, the second piece of info in my orig post is that this is part of a dual-GPU system.

After underclocking the shaders to 796 MHz and memory to 1798 I could get it to run for a while at least. I just saw that it went to sleep again after downloading and failing to get 5 cores to complete a work unit. I've included an excerpt from the log (since all 5 downloads will run over the max # ...

I was thinking about the differences between this machine and the three-way 450 rig that has been working pretty well, and the one big difference I could think of was clock speed. The cards giving me trouble are MSI N450GTS cards that are "factory overclocked" to 850 MHz. I underclocked th...

Thanks for the help Hendricks, but no joy. I looked at the 258.96 driver, but it doesn't say that it supports the 450 cards. Instead I did a clean install with the 260.89 driver. I deleted the work folder and the core and queue files, rebooted and still no luck. I have the GPU clients set to load up...

I tried removing all the existing flags and just using "-verbosity 9" but the client wouldn't start. It kept giving the error telling me my card either wasn't supported or that I needed updated drivers. (I'm running driver version 267.59.) So I added back the -forcegpu flag along with the ...
