This continues like this until the EUE limit is reached. A few days ago both clients were hanging, not EUEing but just pretending to be busy. That got fixed after I restarted both clients.

I didn't change anything about this system or its configuration, temperatures haven't been this cool before I added the two front intake fans a few weeks ago and the SMP client on the Q6600 runs without issues. The 9800GX2 is not OCed or tweaked in any way aside from having its shell removed (while wearing an anti-static bracelet and everything).

What could cause this card to start EUEing like this all of a sudden? Is it really dying?
 
1 reason.. g92 gpu.. looks like its time to....



wait for it....



BAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
what are the temps? I have a large high-cfm 120mm fan over my 2x 9800GX2's and they put out a stupid amount of heat

When I ran my GX2s I had to force the fans to 100% output to prevent the EUE. I later had to bake one of the GX2s, it turned out ... delicious.

Both cores were in the high 70s after I added those front intake fans.
 
I notice it is failing on one of the newer WUs. I'd try lowering your overclock by one step and see if that resolves the problem. Could be something about this new WU and your OC.
 
a quick google reserch and it seems some people that have had this problem deleated the client.cfg file as well as work and queue folders. restrting the client after and the cards would be working again.

although with a g92 it could be on its way out. i quick cook in the oven or even on a hotplate may help

Like I said I don't OC this card :)

I'll try deleting the files mrbigshot pointed out.

OMFG, stop stealing my quotes! :)

Kidding, kidding..... but seriously







BAKE IT!
 
I have one to sell you for cheap prices if this one turns out to be bad :)
 
Just don't bake the card at the same time you're baking cookies ;)
 
One forced reboot (kicks cheap UPS) later, and the 9800GX2 is happily folding once more :)

So much for the peace and quiet in my room :(
