I think I have it. Open up cmd prompt and make the window larger in options, try 85W 50H. Close that out and try your batch file again, It should work now that everything fits on the screen. Cheesy

This worked for the person in the thread, just a random guess on my part, might as well give it a try.

Bah! didnt help :\

CKolivas, How do i run CGminer with the "Run in text only mode -T" param

Did you try 12.1 ( custom install with no sdk/app ) with the 2.1 sdk install?

( check your power management. I'm betting one of the monitors is going to sleep and pre 11.10 you need dummy plugs or a live monitor at all times or the card turns off )

no, :| but im really not in any mood to change my 11.6/2.5 to 12.1/2.1 Ugghh, It's such a headache

You could grow some great tomatoes with that bulb. yeah, that's it !

getting fuzzier by the post.

Cheaper older PC power supplies, when pushed, will die quick and might show odd, deteriorating performance before they quit. Have you recently started "pushing it" on both power supplies or have you been mining for awhile with them. No outrageous overclocks on the cards ?

Strange the problem spread to the other rig like a virus. I hope you find the issue, soon. I can imagine how frustrating.

are you getting near any power limits ? Do you have other "appliances" on the same breaker ?

just guessing at this point

Wild flailing guesses are glady supported.
No i am not, Yes i do, But those "appliances" are on 24/7 and the constant load on the powerline is quite low, I could probobly add another 200 continuous watts without tripping the bre--- Oh... I just looked, I have a good 400W of avalible constant 24/7 energy avalible for use. How do i figure that? I accedentally left a 400W lightbulb on, on the circut for i dont know how long... Atleast a week now XD and i've seen nothing unusual... OFF YOU GO BIGARSE LIGHT

The 6990/5770 rig and my gaming tower are on compleately different circuts, Fwiw

I had a similar random lock up problem with cgminer 2.4.2 when I added a new "used 5870" - frustrating

I resorted back to an older set of ATI drivers and cgminer 2.4.1 - it works now

Locked up almost immediatley

ATI Driver Date: 11/09/2011
Ver: 8.920.0.0

I should mention some physical intervention in there may have helped my issue. eg; changed cables/reseated card/talked dirty to it

maybe try cgminer 2.3.1 even. good luck

Which intensity you using in CGminer ? Dynamic ?

and which version of CGminer ?

............................................................................... ....
Go look at the screen shot.
CG 2.4.2 intensity 5,5,3

Try running it in text mode only to see if you're one of the unlucky ones getting bitten by the windows version of the text interface that crashes (i.e., start it with the -T parameter).

OhhoHO! The CGminer expert has stepped his foot into my thread, Im truely surprised.
I dont think i said this yet, And i guess i should've, When i had the 6990+5830 the same copy of cgminer 2.4.2 worked Flawlessly, Swap the 5830 out and stick the 5770 in (the card is fully functional, Please trust me on that factor, The card was being run as a gaming card in a desktop, I bench'd it higher and higher till it crashed at core 940, So i run it at core 910 to be safe, Also, Overclocks apparently make no differance in the crash frequency)

So ckolivas, Just add the -T to the end of the whole string?
heres what im using " -o pit.deepbit.net:8332 -u ########## -p ##### -I 5,5,3
I'll head over and try it now

Is Crossfire disabled ? If its enabled, try disabling it..

Obviously disabled, You cant crossfire a 5770 and a 6990 dude.
And yes, Just for shits i checked the setting.

The GPU or some other components could be damaged. For how long you had the graphics card ?

Do you not realise that i hash Just Fine with GUIminer, And i hash with a frozen interface with BFGminer? I heavily doubt that ANY component is damaged, All of it is <1yr old

First thing to do is reseat all cards, do it a few times..

You'd be surprised what a reseating can do.. specially if it was a dusty board before you changed things..

Yeah i think i'll do that, At the moment im procrastinating because it's annoying to disconnect the entire ventalation duct.

Clean install of cgminer? Did you remove all the bin files? Are you sure you have the right drivers ( use gpu-z ) and the proper sdk installed?

Yesssiirrriiee indeed i did, And yup, Right drivers and sdk.

What is the error message, if there is any on CGMiner? What does it show just before quitting?

No error message, It doesnt "quit" the TUI just freaking Stops...and then a little bit later so does my GPU usage
with BFG miner, the TUI freezes, But i appear to still continue to hash.
With GUIminer (poclbm) It hashes away normally, But i dont like GUIminer

Thankyou all who looked at this!

Could you post a SS of the frozen GUI?
I'm guessing that maybe a bug ridden version of the drivers and SDK were installed. Also, did you use drivercleaner or something of the sort to uninstall the drivers BEFORE changing the cards?

If you skimmed the opening post, i cleaned all the drivers, used driver sweeper and did a manual uninstall aswell, Heres the photo that you requested, Nothing intresting to see other than my miners desktop
