    GPUs freaking out a little on me...help?

    Guys, I'm a bit unsure what's going on with the DrPop rig today. I can't afford any more fires and rebuilds right now, LOL!

    I'm getting this message: GPUs have become unsuable; disabling tasks.

    What the heck is that supposed to mean? Rig "seems normal" I mean fans going like crazy here in the back room, and you can surf the 'net on it, do anything normal...with this exception I just noticed. If you right click on the desktop and then click on "Catalyst" for the control center, it never comes up.

    This is the AMD 1100T CPU on ASRock Deluxe 4 mobo w/ 8GB DDR3 1600 RAM. No O/C on any of that. Running ATI HD5870 with mild O/C, and NVIDIA GTX 465 with mild O/C.

    Ideas? I'm a bit stumped and running out of steam after having to rebuild Kat's rig last night for the new GPU in there...arrgghhh...two nights of 1 to 2 AM in a row, and I'm gonna sound like a Pirate these days, LOL!

    I blame it all on the liberal media. Oh, and double bummer that I don't have Collatz on either rig right now. What's the world coming to?

    Have you remote desktop'd in at all ? I remember an issue where it would show that message from the boinc dev mailing list due to RDP.

    ++1 Bok has the scent alright.

    Also, if you installed BOINC in Protected application execution mode, it screws up Windows so the video driver(s) get disabled.

    You are the Man! I've never seen this happen before, and guess what I did last night? I remote desktopped from Kat's rig into the DrPop rig...Go figure.

    So, next question: Do I need to reset anything in Windows now? Or just shut it off and turn it back on, and will that reset everything automatically?

    Thanks guys. I was really a bit concerned there for a few hours here; that rig alone represents probably close to 700K or so / day of output for the team now, once DNETC is back online.
