We investigate the sources of Detected Unrecoverable Errors (DUEs) in GPUs exposed to neutron beams. Illegal memory accesses and interface errors are among the more likely sources of DUEs. ECC increases the launch failure events. Our test procedure has shown that ECC can reduce the DUEs caused by Illegal Address access up to 92
