Within the last couple of days, I've been having issues with GUIminer. It won't let me connect to any of pool! I don't know what going on. I'll try the task manager method tomorrow, but I'm stuck right now. I'm using Bitminter's miner and it works fine. So it's not my comp or the cards....
What up with GUIminer just breaking for no reason.

(Before posting I read, googled and searched on this forum to see if any of you had the same problem, and some of you have similar issues but none was solved. So I hope you can help me out)
Hi there
I have GUIMiner v2012-12-03 and I was mining, happily, at 600MH/s, but in these past days, it's mining at 700Kh/s (less than 1Mh).
I have an ATI HD 7970 on Windows 7.
I was mining in 3 pools, 50BTC, Deepbit and Mt.Red. Some of them says "Connection Problems" and those that connects are mining really low.
First, I found this solution:
I did it, and I found I had like 9 poclbm.exe. Killed them all, adjusted my clock and it worked! only for a few minutes. Then I went down again.
I added a new pool, maybe it was a pool issue. I added Slush. And it worked! but again, for a few minutes.
Don't know what else to do! I have an avalon coming and it may not work because of the pools, or GUIminer, or both, or maybe my pc.
What do you guys think it may be the problem? Maybe my graphic card is tired of mining? (I bought it last September) Does anybody else have the same issue?
thanks!

Edit: I just downloaded BitMinter, and so far, so good. It's working at 620Mh/s. So it is not the graphic card issue.

You may want to check task manager, last time that happened to me i found that two instances of the miner software were running on the same card, one reporting to GUIminer, one not. Check for two or more instances of poclbm.exe, kill both, restart gui miner.
Also make sure your time is set to the correct time. Even if your computers clock is off by a few minutes it can cause problems.
For Win7: right click clock -> Adjust Date/Time -> Internet Time tab -> Change Settings... -> Make sure box is checked and Update Now -> Click OK.
