Hi Roos,

once more many thanks for your suggestions.

It turned out that once the driver was installed,
it was necessary to shut down the machine completely
and unplug it from the power supply. After such a hard reset,
the card / pmemd.cuda started to work fine. Normal restart
was not enough.


all the best,
Tomasz
