@coinits  You should try to hook up a differnt psu. Simple thing to do and you don't need a big one, just enough to run 2 cards to verify if its the psu or not. 450-500w should do it.

What kind of risers are you using?




I'll try the PSU. I have a Corsair 750 that works fine. There are no risers. I have a GA-X79-UD3 from Gigabyte which has 4 slots.

Are your cards ones that are mb power only?
If so that might be the issue. Too much power on the mb

50% of the time is spent on the multiplication, ok may-be splitting it could be worthwhile, or try some other algo
(karatsuba or FTT... for fun  Grin)

my take would be to collect MANY pending multiplications in one single buffer (arranged so that coalescing on read
is possible), and to run a sequential multiplication algorithm (like e.g. Karatsuba) in each thread, solving all these
multiplications in one go.

at last it works... (stupid endian...  Angry)

WTS 4000 testnet XCN  Grin

edit: work also on 1gh now...

Yeah, I hate those byte swaps, too. In other news, 4.1MH/s on a stock 750Ti!

https://ottrbutt.com/tmp/xcn750tiwolf2.png
right now I am far from that, spent all my time searching that stupid bug...

What are you getting now on a 750Ti at stock?

I've got 4.2 - 4.3MH/s: https://ottrbutt.com/tmp/xcn750tiwolf3.png

I think I'm getting the hang of this CUDA shit!  Cheesy
Some minor progress, but still way below.
750ti 2.5MH/s
780ti 7MH/s
apparently the multiplication on the fly at the end of each kernel was a bad idea... (moved it as a single kernel so far)
(still using the non optimized algo code)

Yeh keep swapping them till you find out if its a single card. If it is you know. If not the issue is going to be hard to fix

Unfortunately it is not the issue. All work. There was a newer version of the bios so I did that too. Don't know where to turn now. I may take the whole thing apart and rebuild. If it still acts up then I am thinking the motherboard.

Depressing and frustrating.

Hmm OK. Have you tried installing the cards one by one? Keep switching to check its not a single card.
The same as you would to test for memory failure

I have run them one at a time, with all seated, and they all yield > 5 MHS in hashing power. I will try what you say though as I am getting desperate to find a solution.

Hello

I need some help with my rig. It keeps crashing and I do not know why.

I have 4 X 750TI Geforce GTX Gigabytes and I am mining using ccminer v1.1 ccminer35-50.exe. Not sure who's flavor it is but it has always worked.

The problem is that I can run each card separately one at a time but as soon as I start a second one I get a pink screen and it crashes and restarts the PC. Like I said, each card running separately will pump out over 5 MHS but as soon as I start a second one it goes poof.

Now this thing, up until yesterday, it worked fine. All four GPU's running at once.

I do not know if this the reason but I did try and install the new GeoForce 340.52 driver but the install failed. So I rolled back the Win-7 64-bit PC to a restore point and started mining again. It worked from about 8:30 PM last night until about 3:40 this morning (all 4 cards at same time) then went down again. I tried multiple times after this to run the rig but it keeps crashing. So then I started running card each separately to try and id a bad card but all 4 work separately as described above.

So I tried to reinstall 340.52 again and this time the install worked. Problem is I still can not run more than one GPU at a time or it crashes.

I don't think a card is bad because I can get each to work by itself. I know it is not the PSU because I have a 1000 Watt Corsair.  I have 16 GB of RAM and another 16 to put in if I need to but I do not think that it is necessary.

Anyone have any ideas what is happening or what to check?

Thanks

Are you using Precision? I have had a problem twice now. The first time it happened, I was sure I blew a card. After three days of google-ing and multi forum posting, someone asked me if I used Precision, and said that sometimes the config files for precision get corrupted, and there's basically no fixing them for some weird reason. He told me to uninstall Precision, and make sure to select the option to remove all profiles, then re-install. Well, it worked. Had been this all along. Meanwhile I had rolled back drivers, tried older and older drivers, uninstalled manually all drivers and files by going through the registry... three days, and it was Precision all along. Don't know if this will help you, but I figured it was worth a shot.

Showing my noob here but I know nothing about Precision. I never installed it and do not see it in my list of installed programs. Perhaps I will just reformat the HD and start from square one. I have hardly anything on the rig so other than time, nothing lost.

I'm at a loss.

I wiped out my computer. Pulled all of the cards. Checked all connections. Put the cards back in. Reinstalled Win 7 64 bit. Same thing is happening. Only 1 card will work at a time. As soon as I start the second one it crashes the computer and it restarts. There has to be a faulty component but I have no idea how to test for it. Any ideas?

Tomorrow I'll install linux on my mashines, feels like you must have alternatives when miners are hard or even impossible to compile on windows.


I have used ubunto before but consider me a total newbie - any suggetions on suitable a distro for mining, esp running nV...?


Also, does any one have a good tutorial for how to actually compile miners on linux-based OS's?


KopiemTu is Ubuntu based.

and the shortest tutorial...?

"basically, you can compile 95% of the miner available just with the source + ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make
Kopiemtu have the driver and cuda 5.5 ready to go !"

Hey all, help a follow nvidia miner.  What are people mining these days?  Is there a clear "we need to mine this" option, or is it every man for himself?

I'm wasting time with whirlcoin because I've been lazy in checking new coins.  Monero is an option, but haven't mined it for more than an hour.

What should I do?

xmr dropped in profitability
Funny thing is whirlcoin looks more profitable than xmr at the moment

I have no problem mining it for a lark to see what happens, much like JPC, but I was wondering if there is a "go to" coin that I missed in my laziness.

cbuchner1, did you create cudaminer.com? Looks maybe legit (no direct download or donate buttons), but then it might be worth keeping an eye on if it's not your handiwork.

looks like a fan site to me. No download links provided yet, but I will keep an eye out for changes on this site.

The unofficial "cudaminer.com" domain is presently hosting a malware-infected version of cudaMiner purporting to be a newer version of than official releases.  Here are scan results from VirusTotal: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/05bce8b431bc0a8156a18e7a67c5a9dc3d2df22a39e964119bfa6a83ac62da41/analysis/1407545324/

The associated FaceBook community page is also promoting the same malicious web site: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cudaminer/694660437271780

I've attempted to report both the web site and Facebook community page through multiple outlets; it may help if others do the same:

Hello guys Smiley

Where can I find advisable freqs(and maybe other sets) for 750ti? Or even example configs for ccMiner(under Cgwatcher)(or maybe even bat files). Thanks!

all old rigs are amd.

I'd appreciate if you can post config

I'm happy coding on one or two monitors and size doesn't really matter as long as they are 17" or bigger.  I do most on my 17" Dell laptop. With that said I'm currently connected to 52" LCD, 46" LCD, qty 2 22" LCD.

To be honest I mostly use the multi-monitors during football season to keep an eye on the different games.
