I have just installed the 258.96 WHQL Drivers and this WU EUE @ 50%. My video Drivers crashes and was automatically restored. I don't know if the Driver crash caused the EUE or if the EUE caused the Driver to crash. Here is the FAHLog:

I am thinking that the new Drivers doesn't like my OC so I have dropped from Shaders 1512 MHz to 1458 MHz. Hopefully it will work without any further problems.

Both of those projects have been completed successfully for full credit by several others.

Both project has preferred deadline of 15 days. My slowest card can finish these 783 pointer WU's in about 4 hours.
What causing to assign these WU's to several others?

I was under the impression that F@H is not duplicating work. Don't tell me that 7im can be wrong

Yes, it's rare, but I can be wrong. This just isn't one of those times.

I almost always qualify my quoting of PG's "No Dupes" policy appropriately.

As I said before, PG has a standard policy of not duping work units. However, as I also said before, there are certain circumstances that can cause WUs to be re-assigned a 2nd time, or more. WUs that run past a preferred deadline are just one example. EUEs are another. Failed downloads and communication errors, etc. Another (rare example) is when PG mis-programs a setting in the WU or Work Server. I don't know the full list, just what I've read about here in the forum and experienced personally.

Lately, there seems to be more dupes reported than has been usual. But there are any number of explanations... GPU overclocks that were stable in December may not be so stable in July.

That, plus GPU3 just came out. The stability track record for fahcore_15 isn't fully known yet, neither are the new GTX cards. That, plus lot's of people upgrading from G80s to GTXs, or adding a GTX to a G80 system, and they are all trying to find their top stable overclocks, work out driver issues, etc... maybe bombing a few WUs here and there? I've also read about them testing new work server code, who knows?

That said, PG is just as careful to prevent this as we are to report it. PG's progress is obviously slowed by one machine when a dupe WU is sent out instead of new WUs. They don't want dupes any more than we do. And as long as we get credit for a dupe, we probably care less than they do.

Thanks for informing me. I believe that it was the OC issue. With 197.45 WHQL, Shaders at 1512 MHz was no problems but apparently with 258.96 WHQL, they were unstable so I reduced it to 1458 MHz and so far, it has been stable without any issues whatsoever. Will monitor it for a day or so before calling it "stable"
