nVidia 3060 Ti Fails To Start Folding

[oliverjdent]

About a month ago I upgraded my main PC to a Core i7-13700K with an ASUS 4070 Ti. It is running Windows 11 Pro and F@H 7.6.21 without issue.

I moved my AMD Ryzen 7 1700 proc and ASUS 3060 Ti solution to one of my F@H machines. I didn't change anything about the configuration. I merely moved the motherboard from one case to another. Since this had been my main machine for a couple of years, I didn't think there would be any issues with it, but a couple of weeks ago the 3060 TI video card started failing to fold. I got it to work once, but it is back to failing.

I run nVidia's 532.03 gaming drivers. I am running F@H version 7.6.21 on this PC.

Here is the log output from the video card:

Any help you can provide I would greatly appreciate. If you need more information from my PC just let me know.

Thank you.

CUDA seems to be not initialize correctly.

I would use a uninstaller to completely remove your driver and then reinstall.

JimboPalmer,

I ran the DDU application two days ago. I ran the DDU application while in Safe Mode.

At first, it looked like the DDU uninstallation worked. I downloaded and installed the latest nVidia drivers - 535.98. I then rebooted my PC and checked the status of the Folding@Home client. It started working as it should. However, yesterday, I noticed the 3060 Ti had failed again.

When I try to access the PC, the screen is blank. I must restart the PC before I can get back into it.

Here is the current F@H client output:

I don't know what is going on, but it is clear F@H is crashing the nVidia driver causing the PC to lose its video display abilities. Restarting the PC is the only solution to reset everything. This PC used to be completely stable. Now, it is nothing but problems. I don't understand why this is the case. If anyone can help me resolve this issue I would greatly appreciate your help.
