Another cuModuleLoad() 209 error thread...
#1
Sad 
Sorry for the repeat, but here's the deal...
I was using the HashcatGUI developed by www.hashkiller.co.uk to try to crack a few hashes I've got kicking around that I don't have a corresponding plaintext for. When I tell HashcatGUI to crack the hash using cudaHashcat, it decides that it's too difficult or something, and i get a cuModuleLoad() 209 error.

I then discovered that I can get cudaHashcat to run a benchmark using the -b switch, which is much easier than going through HashcatGUI to see if any of my tweaks work. I've been running cudaHashcat via the command prompt, and will continue to do so until I can get this working.

I've done some digging, and found that out of date Forceware can cause the issue, so I updated to the latest version, only to get the same error. I've checked with NVidia using the forum link and by using GPU-Z, and the card supports CUDA... If it helps, the cudaHashcat archive was extracted with the latest version of WinRAR...

So... What gives? What am I doing wrong?

The Hardware:
HP xw9400 Workstation
Dual ATI Opteron 2354 64 bit Quad Core Processors
NVidia nForce Pro 3600 chipset (Board is branded HP)
8 GB DDR2 System Memory
NVidia Quadro FX 4600 GPU (From all appearances, the board is built by NVidia, although it does have a HP part number on it.)

The Software:
Windows 7 Professional x64, Service Pack 1
NVidia Forceware 340.84 (NVCUDA.DLL is listed as v8.17.13.4084, but the NVidia tool says it's version 6.5.18)
cudaHashcat v1.30
HashcatGUI v0.43

One other note... When I get the command prompt to run cudaHashcat64, the output says the following...

Device #1: Quadro FX 4600, 768MB, 1200MHz, 12MCU

WARNING: sm_10 based GPU detected. Support for CUDA was dropped by NVidia, we'll try to load them as sm_11

ERROR: cuModuleLoad() 209

As far as I know, the FX 4600 supports CUDA... Is there a piece to this puzzle that I'm missing? If so, what?
