I had to stop using CGwatcher -
Heres why, - I have set up my computer to startup cg watcher at start I have told Cgwatcher to restart Miner every 8 hours no matter what I have told cgwatcher to reboot computer if Sick/Dead GPU I have told it to to restart if a few things happen, But for some reason Now that I have 7 GPU's on this one motherboard things are starting to happen in cgwatcher that do not happen when i run the Cgminer bat file I created (RUN MANUALLY)
this is the last moments of cgwatcher ( BELOW ) - Its like I have to keep more of an eye on when cgwatcher is running then when i run cgminer my

Yes I do not have a config file I use my Bat file configure my GPU's, Fail over, Intensity, Power tune, etc etc etc... No need for a config file as I have been mining for over 2 months now and always used ONLY my batch file, Longest stretch non-stop mining was a week and a little more , I thought i'd restart to give it a rest for 5 minutes..
But yeh thats without Cgwatcher, if i use cgwatcher id be lucky tobmake it 24 hrs with out Computer crashing...
Any clues guys, I used to like Cgwatcher when I had 4 GPUS on this MB but now that I have 7 x 290 per MB - Cgwatcher is unstable for some reason
PS: I have Cgwatcher 1.3.5
