I think in the tech assistance thread I was asking about Folding with a 5770 and 2 GTX 275s and they said that you have to use the -local argument so that the Nvidia card doesnt get ATI WUs and the ATI card doesnt get Nvidia WUs. Don't know if thats the issue here, but just throwing it out there.

You mean I should use it on both, or just on the nvidia card?

I guess on both, I really did not get into it much. I see Buck is in the thread, maybe he can get you some assistance via Teamviewer :D

The -local argument didn't work.
I also tried to delete all of my clients and data, but that didn't work either.

This might be a instability problem due to a cpu overclock.
Maybe the northbridge is stable when I am only using one gfx card, but get unstable once i plug in two.

Edit:
It seems like I am only having stability issues with cuda based apps. I have been running furmark for a while now, but I can't see any artifacts on the gts250. But when I run cuda factorial benchmark I get errors after a couple om minutes.
I did these test with only my gts250 in my computer.

I think I am going to try to set everything back to stock speed and reinstall the nvidia drivers.

Edit2:
I have set every overclock related setting back to stock in the bios an reinstalled the nvidia drivers with no luck :(

Edit3:
I got it to work! :D
to get it to work you have to do everything the standard tutorial tell you to do except for one little thing.
instead of using the -gpu 0 and -gpu 1 arguments, I used -forcegpu ati_r700 and -forcegpu nvidia_g80
