Re: ps_separation_xx_xx_free errors
I'm having this same problem with a remote machine. The MW ps_sep... tasks fail out after just a second or so.
BOINC 6.12.34, catalyst 12.1, win 7 x64 with a 4850.
I found a 4870 on craigslist and I'm picking that up in a few hours, so I will find out if it's the card.
It seems to be the 4850 as Al stated, but I can confirm that this afternoon.
Re: ps_separation_xx_xx_free errors
I had to upgrade to 12.1. Supposedly, that has the fix for the 4870. It got me crunching (until the card crashed). I'd say install 12.1 and reboot. I think the reboot is definitely a good idea.
Re: ps_separation_xx_xx_free errors
Can confirm the issue. my 4850x2 no longer works using driver version 12.1 windows 7 64bit
was working not to long ago when i upgraded from 11.12 havent reinstalled the sdk but will give that a shoot once i get a chance..

The new drivers did the trick. Both cards are up and running.
I ended up putting the 4870 in the system with the 4830. I thought it was the -50 but it wasn't. That card had a seven day avg of 23k on MW. The -70 pulled down 60k the first day it was installed in the old machine, and the -30 was put in a different machine and recorded almost 40k the first day.
I expect the number to settle down after a few days, but I don't know what surprises me more. The -30 getting more in a different machine with an identical processor or the -70 only getting 50% more points. The price was right and I'm going to keep my eyes open on craigslist for another 4870. Is there a list of AMD cards by points anywhere on the forums?
Re: ps_separation_xx_xx_free errors
ill have to try the 4850x2 again and see if i can get it to work.. maybe i need to reinstall the sdk with the new drivers.
Re: ps_separation_xx_xx_free errors
Give 'er hell. If you're just going to sit on it though then sell it to me. I have an 8800GTS that errors out on a lot of tasks. I think it's because it's paired with the GTX 480 and the tasks aren't compatible. I'll make that 4850x2 fit somewhere!
Re: ps_separation_xx_xx_free errors
yeap that did the trick moved it to another box and she's now full steam on MW.. woot thanks for the heads up..
edit: Think i didnt have enough ram for it had dirt on cpu and the nvidia plus MW/collatz combo. only have 2g of ram on windows 7 64bit so probably need to find me some used ddr2 memory just so dang expensive compared to the ddr3 its a hard pill to swallow, ya know!
