It keeps "Connecting.." for a long time. Actually I haven´t seen it finish connecting yet.
I try to mine as part of deepbit.net and right now I´m at the university so they might have blocked the port. I also don´t have an OpenCL device yet, if that might be part of the problem.

I´m just posting this so you know of the problem and (if someone has an Idea) can maybe help me or give some advice.

Edit: Searching the Forum (this thread actually) I saw that someone else (Quadthingy or something) had the same problem and solved it by updating the drivers. I dont know which driver yet, (I guess the one for the GPU) and I dont know why I cant use the CPU for mining until I updated the drivers but I guess that´ll be fine for me once I got new drivers.

Final edit: Yup, updating the ATI Drivers worked. I only get about 12 Mhash/s but I guess my GPU just isn't that strong.
I´ll donate as soon as I got my first coin

Hi, I'm new to pool mining...Im using GUIMiner with m0mchil, I keep getting "Connection Problems" on one or two of my cards while the others are all running fine, I simply stop and start them and they connect fine...is there anything i can do to mitigate this?

No errors are showing in the console.
No packet loss to deepbit, 130ms ping.

Thanks ahead of time for your help.

try the newest version?

also, what card(s) do you have

To reduce lag you can use -f50 (maybe lower-higher - set it for your own taste), or even -s0.01 flags in field "Extra Flags".
-f flag used to set priority of mining task (higher value - lower priority) - dynamic load of your miner
-s flag determines sleep time between miner taken actions (in seconds per action) - static load of your miner.

You should take in consideration, that putting low prority on miner can nearly stop mining, if game takes lot of resources.
But black screen and computer reset is not a normal behavior. Honestly, i am think that is caused by overclocking or some driver mess on your video.

Hmm, will do. I didn't overclock and I'm using the latest drivers, but I'll poke around and see what I can figure out. Thanks for they help.

Hi. A friend of mine have a problem.

He have an ATI i sold, and windows 7 32 bits.

When he tries to start miner (all packets on bitcoin updated) ALWAYS get: "Starting..." and nothing happens.

He is register on deepbit, all data is correct, but can´t start to mining, always status is "Starting..."

Any sugesstions???

Thanks

Please help

Does GUIMiner see the card? Is it listed under the "Device: pull down? Are you using any extra flags?
Go to View, Show console, then click on the Console tab, read what is says when you start to mine. See if there are any errors. If yes, post the line that says "Running command: poclbm.exe" (Without your username/pass of course)

This crashes my computer when I tell it to stop mining. I have an Nvidia 550gtx ti card. It makes my computer reboot itself when I click "Stop mining", does it every time.

Poclbm (Opencl) or RPC - CUDA miner used ?

Opencl is what I am using.

Edit: Tried it again and it didn't reboot the computer this time, but it made the screens go black for a few seconds. I may have to use this on another computer when I network them together because mining drastically harms my frame rates when I am trying to play Rift at the same time as mining.

try to reinstall your drivers.

I found a bug.

I have an ATI card and an nVidia card in the same computer. GUIMiner only looks at the set of devices from platform 0, but with two such cards, the platform also needs to be specified. In my case, the ATI card is under --platform 0, and the nVidia card is --platform 1. So, GUIMiner should support both platform and device selection. Those with only one platform would not worry about this, but those with two or more platforms would not have trouble.

I should also point out that with more than one platform installed, GUIMiner refuses to work at all, so I'm using poclbm on its own.

Can someone please help me get the -s option working? Every time I add the option -s0.01 to the Extra Flags section and try to start GUIminer.exe runs at 25% cpu ( 1 core of my quad core system) and the miner doesn't start.

I'd like to do something to help reduce the heat output of my card while mining and I understood the -s option would help with that, effectively throttling the miner.

*EDIT* I realised I did not have the most recent version installed...
