Sorry i was missing some information:
I do know that TC is the issue, but lowing my TC, can't be the solution since i get less hashrate.
I'm using SMOS linux, and my system should be able to hand 32k TC easyly, but it only detects 2.5 of my 8 GiB.
Any ideas?

Edit: With 2.5 GB of Ram i can support a TC of 15k

Error 61 is occurring because of memory issues. Depending on how much RAM your system have, you might need to lower your TC value.
I got 4GB of RAM and the max TC I can use is around 24k~

Also make sure your batch file has the following lines included:
"export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100"
"export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1"

Edit: Also, you might wanna try sgminer.

Hello!
I am using cgminer 3.7.2 and a R9 290 my cgminer.conf is this:

}

Whenever i tried to run it it gives me this:

My system run makes no difference, i tried 4 and 8 GB.

Can anyone help me? Sad



EDIT:
I tried the command free
It gave me this:

No the strange thing: I have 1*4GB of ram and 2*2GB. Right now the i have the 4GB plugged in, but changing it does not change the output. Any help? Sad
