Crashing nVidia GPU WUs

Has anyone else been noticing their nVidia GPU clients receiving unstable WUs? Four systems in the past week have received WUs that do not complete. Sometimes I'll get a series of bad WUs inciting the dreaded 24h halt.This hasn't happened in a long time. My Ati clients seem to be OK for now, but the nVidia clients are touch and go. :(
 
Yeah, noticed a bunch lately. They seem to occur on only 1 core of 4 on my 295s. It was mostly
579X units that would hang. Checking the logs of the other 3 cores never showed them folding the units that were crashing on that 1 core. Dunno if it was the luck of the draw or what, but it's all been stable for the last 2 days now (knocks on wood...) They would crash (NAN detected) at either 3-4% or 25-27%. Never more, never less.

Kind of weird if you ask me.
 
Folding is probably just making some tweaks, nothing fancy.

CPU clients are fine (for Intel?) so far (for me).
 
I had one EUE about a week ago on my GTX260, but everything has been fine since then. My 4870 did start EUEing constantly a few days ago, but once I restarted the client it was fine.
 
This is happening to me all the time. I am not sure what to do at this point. My GTX260 errors out about twice a day now on my main rig. I have been thinking about RMA'ing it back to EVGA since it has become so unstable. It is not overclocked and has no thermal issues yet can't fold for 24 hours in a row anymore - this is after returning thousands and thousands of WU without any problems.

I also got the core outdated error message tongight...never saw it before. Anyone else getting these?

check your system date and see if its wrong by chance.. and/or completely delete the F@H folders and install the client again..
 
I just got home from a 2 day trip and all my systems are still up and running just fine.

I have gotten a few WU that stuck last week, but a quick reset of the client was all they needed.
