Primegrid down?

I noticed that my credits had fallen considerably recently and, on investigating, it seems like there's an issue with Primegrid. I've had a number of WUs reporting computation errors and the project is in "communication deferred" status. I tried going to their website with no success.

Anybody else seeing problems?

Driver issue

Finally managed to get onto the Primegrid site and it seems that they have an issue with the latest Nvidia drivers.
I'm reluctant to roll back the drivers as I'm not having problems with anything else, and Primegrid have suggested a work-around related to power saving settings. I'll probably go down that route as I normally switch off the monitor anyway if the PC's running unattended.

I`ve run a few PG GPU WUs within the last week, with no problems.

Not having any problems here and running the latest Nvidia drivers on one M/C 295.20 that is on a Fedora15 Linux box in fact if anything it is a little faster so it may only be a Windows problem

Its popping up everywhere - not only inside BOINC, there is a big problem with the latest driver set, and most Projects are saying the same thing, roll back one until its fixed, if individuals have issues. No idea what the actual problem is, don't run NVidia so havent really focused on it.

There sure is a problem though. If it works don't fix it as they say :)  But otherwise, I'd be rolling back one with such a collective noise building up about it.

I`m running Vista with the latest NVIDIA drivers,(275.33) and mainly crunching DistrRTgen and a little PG when DistrRTgen runs out of work.
No problems with either project.
