Replying as the author: Solved by setting persistent mode for both gtx470 and monitoring from a ssh-linked desktop. The gtx470 machine appears from its terminal (no X system was raised) as if it were hanged (keyboard not sensed, terminal blinking at a stage long before namd md had started), actually it is working regularly (top -i: 6 processors; nvidia-smi -q - d TEMPERATURE output 90, 85), correct *.log. To avoid software problems to the gtx-470 machine, shutdown will have to be issued from the desktop. Clearly there is no hardware problem, at least per se, where I find myself comfortable, as I was already wondering about possible explosions of gtx470 capacitors. I simply shut down the useless monitor of the gtx470 machine. I wonder whether there is a problem with the nvidia latest driver (built from amd64 wheezy) using gtx470 (problems started from upgrading to such latest driver), however i don't mind as far as i can work. chiendarret
