NVIDIA GeForse 8500 Failing

It seems that a lot of GPU problems revolve around specific versions of drivers. Though NVidia has their own support structure, you can often learn from information reported by others who fold.

Support for using the beta flag is only given in the Beta Forum. If you are a member, you can post there. Otherwise it is read only if you are logged in. If you are interested in being a Beta Team member, please read and agree to the following post - viewtopic.php?f=16&t=8.

Otherwise, all Core_11 work that used to be assigned to GPU's of your card's vintage became unavailable a few months ago. Core_11 was announced to be end of life about a year before that. A trial of assigning Core_15 work to these older, pre-Fermi nVidia cards last year in general was discontinued after too many failures with no clear indication of which model cards could work and which did not.
