I cant stress enough how important it is to curb your GPU clocks to keep the switching working right.  If you are pushing one algo too hard and a switch comes along, chances are the card will go SICK and DEAD after the driver crashes.

Has anyone found a solution for the full machine lockup?

I searched through this thread and found a few people also running into this, but without resolution.

I'm assuming it has to do with a GPU going sick and bringing down the whole shabang.

My mine is headless, so it's hard to tell what happened other than after about 24 hours it sometimes becomes unresponsive and requires a power cycle. :-/
hard to say without knowing more about your setup but generally it has to do with setting TC or clocks too high

@badman74, can you take a look at this issue?

https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/issues/347

I want to know if you're experiencing the same on your Hawaiis.

There's something fundamentally different from 06-25 and current builds; I cannot track it down by myself however.
don't know what the problem is for you but i am getting 5.7mh/s  on the non throttled gpu and 5.45mh/s on the high temp one

Guys, i have problem with sgminer5 compiled from source. Basically it works, but after sometime it randomly dropping hashing speed from 2.7 Mhs (R 9 270) to 2.1 Mhs. If i just do manual mining restart speed goes up again to 2.7 Mhs.
 I have recent 14.6 Linux Beta drivers installed.
Miner compiled as follows:
Code:
git clone -b v5_0 https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer.git
cd sgminer
git submodule init
git submodule update
autoreconf -i
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure
make

My miners runs off a USB flash drive, I have only 10% free, If I try to update the driver, I risk run out of flash space, happened before and had to reinstall everything Sad

the only option (unless someone can help with the bin files) is to install one of the miners from scratch on a hard drive, once everything is working, copy the bin files to the USB flash drive and get rid of the hard drive.

but it is a lot of work that I will really love to avoid if possible Smiley

I will upload my bin..7950@1040/1500 ~11mh/s..shortly

Good luck  Wink

Thank you for taking the time!!, really!

something weird with your bin (I downloaded the 32 bit version (l4 because my miner produces l8 (64 bit bins)) and only with you bin i get this error:

error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

any idea what can cause this?

Tried to rename l4 to l8 and test it on the 64 bit version, same deal Sad

EDIT: created a symlink for the library libcurl.so.4 to the /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib and now the error is different: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.4: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

it seems that you system is 32 bit, and bin are not swappable just like that Sad I am out of ideas

I don't know, i use win8.1 64bit, using batmans sgminer.
All of my bins are l4 or big1/4.
the new pimp version with 14.6 drivers is out now so i suggest just upgrading if that is what you use
http://downloads.getpimp.org/1.5.6/14.6/pimp-1.5.6-amd-14.6-r2.zip
as for me i wanna see the pxe version. would be great for those with lots of mining rigs
thanks badman74 for the info
I downloaded the image, and will try it tonight.
but, if it is like other linux headless miners, won't work, you know, I have all gigabyte motherboards (mostly 970A-D3) and they don't like flash drives with more than ONE partition, and that one must not be bigger than 4GB, or it will not recognize it as a boot device.

I have been dealing with these motherboards for about a year, but I have 20 miners with this motherboard, so I cannot just say, hey I will change them all, hehe, no way!.

I have built a linux version myself of only 2GB that run on a 4GB flash drive (single partition) and works perfectly, but the space is limited (that's why I cannot compile from sources, no space for them!!, also install a new driver means at least 200MB more of space, and that´s pretty much all I have left).

I hope that PIMP has only one partition on the flash drive, and smaller than 4GB so I can use it, it looks interesting enough! Smiley

30 seconds is configurable, you need to just change

Code:
"failover-switch-delay" : "30",

To another value.  If you want 10 minutes, use 600.
seems to me, it will make switching even slowly

When I was trying to use a already compiled sgminer 5 4.2.2 from NiceHash, I kept getting Disabling GPU due to failing to build .bin and it would show the .cl file located in AppData/Local/Temp

If I would go back to using a already working sgminer 4.1.2 though, it works fine. On 14.6 drivers. This due to ADK files I'm not placing in one of my folders already due the compilation?

That can depend on checking interval. What kind of miner do you use?
latest sgminer-5_0 from git. Should I use NH-version?

Also consider fact, that our system performs check on existing miners every 10 minutes. The stats on page may change and you still work on old algo. This is to prevent too often switches, which reduce miners performance.

We are still waiting from sgminer devs to increase pool check interval for multialgo configs from 30 seconds up to 10 minutes, because now, your miner will switch in 30 seconds if top priority algorithm appears alive instead after several minutes as it was meant to be.
The point is more than one multialgo ports are open in the same moment. Is it ok?
