It's now run 24 hours this way without quitting.

I had too many things set on the PC that interrupted the GPU, apparently. Now that I've gotten rid of those, it runs I haven't tried to game on the system, or rip a DVD for that matter, we'll see how the GPU client recovers after the machine gets some "actual" use.

Thanks for the pointer!
glad you got it working

I've been thinking about getting a little 1650pro/xt for my P4 just to fool around with the gpu client, and from what I've read it would get 2-3x more ppd than I get with the cpu client to boot
