Topic: Cgminer Dead Card (Read 3074 times)
In addition to dropping your GPU clock, you might want to think about dropping your mem clock by -100 to -150. Not only will your gpu run more efficiently, you it might thank you in the long run by lasting longer for you.
So I turned down the difficulty still goes dead after a couple hours,
Drop GPU engine overclock, not "difficulty", whatever you mean by that.I'm guessing he means intensity.

i have a python script like that in the mining thread in my sig
Try blowing the dust out of the heatsink with a can of compressed air, but anyway, to answer your question...
I did this once with a compressed air line ... cleaned it REALLY well, until it shattered.. oops. I'm more careful now

If you're running on windows just click... Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Task Scheduler > Create Task

Or use a less efficient miner that doesn't drive them as hard.
Drop your clocks to prevent the cards from going dead. Or use a less efficient miner that doesn't drive them as hard.
there is a couple of scripts for if your card fails, but I can't seem to find em.
My machine with 4x 5970s kept falling over every day or two. I've changed from cgminer to bfgminer and I haven't had a fall over since.
You could also look at your temps and see in you're getting a spike.
maybe change the intensity down to 8?

Ive got a card that keeps going dead every couple hours about 4 hours or so. I was looking to see if there is any basic script to restart cgminer every 4 hours to fix the issues.
