GPU client EUEing like mad

My GPU client is EUEing its WUs after only a couple of minutes, which means I getting a lot of small scores at the moment. Anyone else having this problem?

Mine went that way - I dropped it back to 2d clocks and it was ok for a while but then it started again, though I'm not entirely sure about this installation of XP as other things have pointed at driver issues

Mine seemed to be getting quite hot around the time it started EUEing - better cooling seemed to help minimise it
 
My graphics card is the 512MB PCI-E Radeon X1900XT. I did unlock the ATI Overdrive in May, but the ATI overdrive settings are used in 3D applications only. According to the Catalyst Control Centre, the current VPU clock is 500MHz and the current memory clock is 594MHz.

EDIT: The return code I was getting is 114. What is a safe temperature? Mine is current running at 87C. :eek:

EDIT 2: THE SEQUEL: I'm running ATI Tool 0.26 and overriding the Fan Control. Any recommendation on settings? According to the ATI Tool, the current VPU clock is 621MHz and the current memory clock is 720MHz, the default values.

EDIT 3: THE SECOND CRAPPY SEQUEL: Still EUEing. Using the ATI Tool, the current VPU clock is 492.75MHz and the current memory clock is 594MHz. (Nice tool - love the fluffy cube! :) )

BTW: My catalyst driver is version 7.3

EDIT 4: THE CHEAPLY-MADE, FLOGGING-A-DEAD-HORSE, REALLY CRAP THIRD SEQUEL: Still EUEing, so switching the Standard client to avoid further distortion of WU total count.

I used to try and keep mine below 70C - though with the standard cooler in summer you're talking about a lot of noise :o

If you are going to be out of the room for a while try cranking it up to 100% fan and seeing if that stops the EUE's - at least then you'll know if it's become faulty or not. I fitted an Arctic Cooling Accelero X2 to mine which is hardly noticeable even at 100% and seems to do a good job of cooling - I see they even have passive versions out now which coupled with a bracket and 120mm fan could be nice :D

edit: oh and if there's any dust around the place odds are that it's all wedged inside the fan housing of your card - mine used to make a very effective hoover :o

Seems to have done the trick....guess I'll just have to get use to the noise! :D

Well in that case it must just be the heat - I used to find that with the dust build up I had to set the fan faster and faster to get the same cooling so a good clean out might let it run stable without needing to deafen yourself :p
 
I would love to give the card a good clean out, but I can't seem to remove it from the PC now. It seems wedged in and I don't want to risk breaking it just to force it out. So ear-plugs it is then! :p
