Message 131540 - Posted: 29 Jul 2019 | 14:41:37 UTC

After running PPS Sieve and AP 27 for many wus with rarely ever having an error I switched last night and started running GFN 15, 16 and 17 low.

All 28 wus failed.

My desktop is running Win 7 and has dual GeForce GTX 970 cards.

The only recent change made was an update to driver 26.21.14.3064 on May 5 2019.

Help please.

Most likely you've installed a driver that doesn't have OpenCL libraries. You need a driver that has OpenCL libraries for GFN projects (but not PPS Sieve, it's CUDA).

Poking around in the system I found that card 0 was not running at all, so I restarted the system and it now seems stable for GFN 15 on both cards.
Perhaps one card not working caused the other to fail calculations although that is beyond my understanding as to why it would.
I don't OC but took a measured approach and turned down the voltage and clock on card 0. Card 0 being on the top always runs hotter but below the point that it should matter.
If the system continues to run reliably I will attempt a GFN 16 and then GFN 17.

Glad the reboot fixed your problem AT Hiker.

I had the same problem but on a fresh Linux install, and yep, it was a lack of OpenCL Libraries.

The cure for Linux is: sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev

Didn't even have to reboot. :)
