BAMT doesn't like my XFX 5850 (model # XFX HD-585X-ZNFC - i.e the non-reference model with the small hood). I can start the card manually in Phoenix, and it mines fine, but when I try to start it using the config script, my computer freezes. If I disable it in the config script and start up all my other cards (four Sapphire 5850s), GPUmon says "n/a" for Fan% and rpm (but this info for my other cards is reported OK if I disable them). So, I suspect the problem is that this card doesn't want to divulge it's fan speed and BAMT freaks out about this (though the card is perfectly happy to report/set it's fan speed for atitweak in terminal). I've tried the card in various configurations on the mobo with different risers, slots, power connections, etc. I've also tried various voltage and clock settings, so the issue isn't that I'm overclocking too much. I've also been able to get all five cards mining OK by starting them all manually in Phoenix, so the problem doesn't have to do with running 5 GPUs.
If anyone has ideas about what the issue might be, I'd be happy to try a few things out. But frankly I'm leaning toward selling this card and picking up another used Sapphire. Maybe there's a better way to do it, but I've found it to be a bit of a PITA to troubleshoot this issue in BAMT. After my computer freezes, I have to pull the usb, put it in another computer, edit the config script to disable the GPU, then back to my rig to reboot. Is there a way to prevent BAMT from automatically mining on reboot (other than disabling all the GPUs in the config script)? If so, that would make it easier to troubleshoot in cases where the system is freezing.
BAMT is awesome, so I consider this issue more of a story about how this particular card isn't so awesome for mining (and that's why I'm leaning toward ditching it).

Where can I download BAMT ? http://bamter.org is down
Edit : Now I know the project is dead. Sorry to ear that.

Somewhere previously I opened this tab in my browser. Mirror for BAMT I believe.

BAMT is not dead, lodcrappo is on a road trip. (so I've heard on a previous post) There was some issues with his hosting provider so that is why the site is down.

Just repeat gpu0 & gpu1. If it doesn't work it's because its x86
If it works make and image of your USB and post it here

# When done editing, restart mining to make changes here take effect
# If you're just setting up BAMT, be sure to edit pools as well.

# As of 0.5, many less common options have been removed from this

no ,it just shows the total, no specific gpu
Are you using extenders by chance? How about taking it down to just one GPU plugged directly into the board. Here is my bamt.conf from one of my rigs with a 5970, the other 3 GPU on this rig are 5830s... I removed them from the example as to not confuse the situation. (This has been working for over 80 days, very stable.)

no ,it just shows the total, no specific gpu
The upper right on the screen shows 8 GPUs total? 0-7
This is strange b/c 32bit version should not. If it does, please send me an image of your BAMT install so I can use it
810 is high too man.
Welcome to overclocking.
Step 1 - Start at stock and slowly work your way up to establish stability.
Yes,it shows o-7gpus ,total is 8

I tried to run 3 cards ,got the same problem,
keep showing "starting mining processes" and suddenly exit again
keep showing "starting mining processes" and suddenly exit again
Does it ever get to the GUI desktop? Does it show all the GPUs in the top right?
Yes,all gpus show in the top right,but just can't get it work
So does the screen stay black or does it go red after a while? If it stays black, do any graphs pop up after a while?
Can you open a root console and type 'gpumon'? what happens then?
I don't quite understand .when I choose restart miner,it keep showing 'starting mining processes' in the terminal,and suddenly exit
Does gpumon ever run or stay running?
Just keep showing I got 0 mhadh
So it shows 0 under Total and each gpu0, gpu1, gpu2, etc...? If that is the case, I would double check your pool settings. (Press p while in gpumon, after you check and confirm, then CTRL-x to exit, y to save, Enter, then SHIFT-R to restart mining)

Say what? Are you overvolting them?
Stock is 725, 830 is a bit hard man
And I tried 810,still not working
