Reaper is the memory hog.  That program loves it's system RAM...

Could be memory or driver.  If you install new driver you will need to completely remove old one.  ATIMan is one of the few utilities that does a complete job of removing ati drivers thoroughly.  AMD uninstall utility does not always work (didn't for me). It leaves orphans. ATIMan does take a long time however and it may be easier to reinstall OS.  You can google ATIman for more info.

Try AMD's driver removal utility and load 12.8.

It's almost definitely the low ram, system overhead + GPU allocation for a memory intensive algo

win 7 64 installed....same problem

gpu 0 failure, disabling
thread 0 being disabled

mabe it's really low RAM?

If you delete all .bin files from your CGMiner directory and type "cgminer --scrypt --benchmark" does it still crash?

completly same Sad

if we want to reduce clutter then


THIS IS THE WRONG AREA OF THE BOARDS FOR YOUR ISSUE.

7950's are NOT an alternative crypto currency!

moderator move the thread.

fucksakes.

if you are going to abuse the forums, you deserve to be penalized. this is why you were made to wait 4 hrs and post a bunch before you were given permission. there's some responsibility involved you know.

MAKE THIS GUY A MOD NOW!!

Did you move from windows 64 machine to a 32 machine?

yes. should I install 64bit?

The problem occurs only on scrypt mining when concurrency is required.

Now I set integrated as main graphics but problem is still there


With win 32 you can't go as high.  Start at 8192 and ad 2048 increments.  I use 14336 on my windows 32 machine and can get 650khs when litecoin mining.  Or you could install 64.  Up to you.

downloading 64 right now

Probably best choice.

Dont remember the numbers but 2G ram is not enought for scrypt mining, 4G should be fine... it's somthing like 1.6G per 7950 card.. and 2G isnt enougth for system and one card

Could someone confirm that this is true for cgminer ?
I remember reading somewhere that another mining software (guiminer maybe ?) needs loads of system ram, but I have a 7950 and cgminer use less than 20MB (be it windows 7 64 or linux).

Each "thread" from thread-concurrency use around 128kB of *video* ram at lookup-gap 1 (and you divide this by lookup-gap if it is greater than 1)

If he is using KHS it is an alt currency issue.  And this is where the mods have been pushing these type of questions dipshit.  Read the forums a little more.  And quit spouting off your fat lips.

Dont see anythign about KHS in his post, but i guess we're about to find out.



Here I'll help you....this is from the first paragraph.....

I used to mine with cgminer  sapphire 7950 3GB with boost usng scrypt. With the settings below card could get about 650 kH/s


If you don't agree with policy bring it up with John K, because he is the one that has been moving them if they are not bitcoin related.
