Folding@home error

Well i have just started f@h again after a month of frustrating time getting a stable GPU client but it just threw this up at me and i have very limited knowledge, and was wondering what the hell it means

Project: 5746 (Run 2, Clone 27, Gen 249)

[21:40:26] CoreStatus = FFFFFFF6 (-10)
[21:40:26] Client-core communications error: ERROR 0xfffffff6
[21:40:26] This is a sign of more serious problems, shutting down.

that is what it came up with on the ATI client but my other client is ok, so just a problem with the WU or something else.

Edit: Been doing some investigating and it seems that both clients are working on one core even though i have the correct flags setup, would this be the cause to this error i received i only noticed this when i was down to about 3k PPD when i know its nearer 6k.
I am on win 7 and these are the flags im using are these correct or do they not work on win 7

E:\GPU1\[email protected] -gpu 0
E:\GPU2\[email protected] -forcegpu ati_r700 -gpu 1

Cheers guys completely forgot to look there such as noob am i, Everything i have done is now working just the ol Folding@home Core Shutdown: UNSTABLE_MACHINE issue to get around now. I really can't wait to get rid of this card now it's just a nightmare. i am definitely going to get two 9800gx2's now my mind is made up then its getting used to a nvidia setup haven't had a nvidia card for about 5 years

Really ?, i still would like to change my setup about half of all WU's i get fail with stupid unstable machine. Thats why i stopped folding but thought I'd try again silly me but i want more power the X2 is a bit rubbish really and i know my system can handle power hungry cards so i might aswell do it sell my X2 and get something more suitable for the job. I don't pay for the leccy so i'll abuse it while i can

So what card's would you recommend from the land of green ? for about £400

So 2 GTX 260's it may be just been looking at the ASUS Top Edition might have to get two in a few weeks I'm not that much of a gamer anymore got the PS3 for that, just want some peace as the X2 is really not silent when folding. And ill be able to SLI once i make the slow move to i7 and maybe throw in another one for good measure
