Topic: CGminer Bitcoin/Litecoin Crash - page 2. (Read 13574 times)

EMC, OzCoin, BitMinter to name a few

Oh no kidding, I must be blind. I see the new version now thanks again. Ill load it up now.

Ive been on Bitparking pool. I really don't know what a good one is to use. I have a fairly decent internet connection via cable, so I dont think its on my end. Never have any latency issues. I was thinking of swapping pools regardless. Any recommendations?

It's been there 4 days - maybe you last checked before 2.7.6 came out?

In this case it won't make any difference, but when something doesn't work, it's best to then use the latest version before asking questions.

Yes I can tell from your display it's not 2.7.6

Also, gotta say - either your network is crap or the pools is crap.
Getting the LP 7 seconds after you find out from a getwork is pretty piss poor effort for the pool.

I couldnt find version 2.7.6 for windows. I looked at the github link in the main thread about CGminer, but all I found was 2.7.5 for windows. Maybe I missed it?

But I am currently on 2.7.5

But yeah I figured I was running it to hard. I just didnt understand why I could hash at 330 on it for Bitcoin, but not Litecoin.

Before I added this ATI 5850 in today, all I had was the 6750. The 6750 would hash at 160 for litecoin and bitcoin no problem. This made me question why I couldnt do the same for the newly added 5850 as well.

And thank you for the advice

2 things:

As per the README - if you crash it due to running it too hard (higher intensity) then don't do that

Also - use the current version ...

Hey all,

Any help would be much apperciated. Heres my issue.

I recently added a second video card into my computer. I am now running a ATI 6750, and a ATI 5850

When I mine for bitcoin, and I get the speculated hashrates as I should. I use this command line, and it seems to work ok.

cgminer.exe -o http://mmpool.bitparking.com:15098 -u username -p password -I 8,d -w 256 -g 1 --auto-fan --queue 1 --temp-target 70 --temp-overheat 80 --gpu-fan 75-85 --gpu-engine 850 --gpu-memclock 1150 --shaders 1440,720




When I use the same command line but for Litecoin, and of course I change the intensity I crash

cgminer --scrypt -o http://mine.pool-x.eu:8080 -u username -p password -I 18,d -w 256 -g 1 --auto-fan --queue 1 --temp-target 70 --temp-overheat 80 --gpu-fan 75-85 --gpu-engine 850 --gpu-memclock 1150 --shaders 1440,720

(no need for a screenshot)

Anything above intensity 12 makes me crash while mining litecoin. I can get the ATI 5850 mining litecoin at around 250 mhash/s without a crash. Anything above that locks my computer. I can get my bitcoin mining to the above mhash/s at around 330 and be just fine. I dont understand why mining litecoin would crash my system at the desired mhash/s of 330ish.

Any incite would be much appreciated. If my command line needs help, please feel free to toss some constructive criticism my way Ill take any help I can get!

Thanks for taking the time to look this over!

P.S. I'm aware my GPU 1 (ATI 6750) runs ridiculously hot, but Im ok with that. The card is lo profile card with a crappy Heatsink and fan. Not much I can do about it. Figured I'd burn that mother till its dead lol
