Success! I am now running Linux Mint on that folder, thanks for all the help! "sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-opencl-dev" in terminal did the trick for the OpenCL packages, and the Nvidia driver was simply a matter of checking a box in the driver manager in Mint. For the FAHclient and FAHcontrol it was simply a matter of double clicking to install, and adding the GPU manually in FAHcontrol. I am seeing 3-4 degrees lower northbridge temperatures due to lower PCI-E traffic and a few thousand more PPD on both CPU and GPU it seems. Some free efficiency is always welcome!

Edit: went from around 130k PPD on the GTX 770 in Windows 10 to around 150k PPD in Linux, and from around 13k to 15k on the CPU (Xeon W3520). All for free, and with lower temperatures on an otherwise scorching northbridge.

Glad to hear that it worked for you. Just to future reference, is this what you did in this order:
1) Installed Linux Mint 64-bit (https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php)
2) Enabled proprietary drivers (https://linuxmint-installation-guide.re ... ivers.html)
3) Installed OpenCL Package (sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-opencl-dev)
4) Installed FAHClient and FAHControl

After that, it just worked. Is that an accurate summary of steps you performed?

I think I might have installed the OpenCL package before enabling the Nvidia driver, I don't know if that matters. I also made sure to install all OS updates directly after installation, before proceeding with OpenCL, driver and FAHclient/control. I also had to add the GPU slot to FAHcontrol manually as it was not added automatically, and change CPU slots from 8 to 6, but that was no different from some Windows installations when the GPU is not added automatically.
I also used a recipe to add (it said it was already installed when I tried to) lm sensors temperature and fan monitoring, let me see if I can find it again.

Here is how I installed GUI based temperature and fan monitoring:

In short, for Linux Mint, these steps:

1. Install dependencies (these were already installed when I tried, but might as well double-check):
On Debian/Ubuntu/Mint
sudo apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp

2. Install Psensor using following commands:
On Debian/Ubuntu/Mint
sudo apt-get install psensor

3. Then, starts the detection of your hardware sensors (press Y and enter for ok with each step. NB! Some steps alert you that they might fail and/or crash your machine, has not happened with me, YMMV):
sudo sensors-detect

4. Verify that it works:
sensors

5. Run Psensor from the menu, it was already installed. I had to restart to get all the sensors to show.

I think you guys are a bit off-topic. The error 0xc00004 is a Windows error and you're talking about Linux.

I guess you're right! The Linux bifurcation was to remedy that though
