Reseat the GPU and the extender or try swapping the cards around

I can't believe that worked but Thank You.

Had to move the 7950 to my fourth slot and now all 4 work together.
For some reason it doesnt like it in slots 1,2, or 3.

Will send tip once I get home.

Thank you Tacotime.

Mining feathercoin, (will post another entry for LTC mining results with wemineltc.com at some point.)

This is stock mining, no Overclocking, so significantly better results are expected with mild, to medium overclocking.

I can't seem to get my computer back up and mining.

I was originally using Reaper (not through guiminer but standalone) and it was fine with my 3 - 6870s. I added a new 7950 and now it will not work for any of my cards.

So I installed guiminer and tried running it through guiminer.

I receive the same thing when trying to run through cgminer and reaper.

-Reaper-
I enter all of my information, press start, it gets to the part:
"Compiling kernel... this could take up to 2 minutes."

-CGminer-
I enter all of my information, press start, it gets to the part:
"Listener for "Miner" started"

And then Windows pops up saying:
"reaper.exe has stopped working"
"cgminer.exe has stopped working"

I have the most up to date AMD Catalyst Suite.
I have the most up to date AMD APP SDK.

But I can't seem to get anything to mine now. I'm sure it is probably something dumb.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try one card at a time. Uninstall drivers and reinstall them

install defaults for every card

These defaults are great, do you know if they're any plans to add these to GUIminer?

Dumb Question... as of 04-25-13 Is the latest version of this on the original first posting?

Yes

New version coming soon, I'm done my exams but am very sick so not as much work on this or MC2 has gotten done.  Sorry guys

Don't worry..health comes always first.

Wish you get well soon Smiley

FEATURE SUGGESTION:

- Automated tuning function to find the most profitable settings

--- logs stale/invalid to shares accepted ratio (creates percentage)
--- StlsInvld/ShrsTRUE(Tune, TC, Intensity)

Automatically adjusts the card for performance, or reports ranges which the user can draw a baseline from.

===============================



===============================

The image above is BEFORE installing the newest AMD 3.5 Beta 2 drivers released today.

Preliminary testing that I just started with a single Sapphire, stock clocked 7950, "11196-16-20G", indicates stales and invalids at coinotron.com are down dramatically using the AMD 3.5 Beta drivers posted for download today.

Hash speed is down to 513 so I'm going to push the thread concurrency gently and see what happens.

UPDATE:

Increasing thread concurrency to 21120 brought back a 4% rate of stales, with only an increase of 10-Khash/s, so inefficient, not worth the increased thread concurrency, back to 20736 to confirm lower stales/invalids, if it proves correct, then lower stales/invalids much more profitable than tiny increase percentage wise in Khash/s. Also testing over several hours to make sure the Khash/s stays consistent, remaining at 19 intensity.


SSSSOOOOO ...  Cool ... a discussion as to WHY stales and invalids MIGHT be less with the new drivers, might prove stimulating ... or, why they might foresee-ably NOT have an impact on stales/invalids, and ... what can help lower stales and invalidzzz,  Huh

UPDATE: Stales/invalid rate re-appeared at baseline settings, adjusted intensity to 20, low stales rate again, with increased khash/s from baseline screenshot, will let this run for a good while to test it. Just making tiny changes, one at a time.

! ! ! UPDATE ! ! ! 04-27-2013

CT disconnects and 15% - 25% stales invalids, connection problems with CT today, I'm in the U.S., so I switched pools, I've had issues with CT more than I like, probably because I'm in the U.S. and they are in Poland, I think.

I'm on PPLNS now at wemineltc and the GUIMiner just works great there. Same card, same settings as in the screenshot, 0 stales rates, (it's PPLNS and it's a U.S. Server), 527 khash/s testing with this single card the new pool. They have an IRC chat as well, and the site looks nice, simple and tight. I'll push this card here with these newest Beta drivers, and OC it a hair after a few payouts and statistic logging.

THANKS Tacotime, and best of health to you, get well and be well!

is there any command that can restart mining? lets say i want to restart mining ion every 2hr?

Is there a way you could build in something to allow a staggered autostart instead of starting all miners at once? I've noticed that on autostart that the miners will run about 50kH/s slower if all started at system startup on their own. If I start them up with about a 30-60 second delay in-between each miner, they pull higher kH/s and stay higher. The autostart ones start out 50kH/s lower and stay lower.

Thanks tacotime! (:

I cant run GUIMiner. This is what i get:


And this is log file:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "guiminer.py", line 18, in
  File "pyopencl\__init__.pyo", line 4, in
  File "pyopencl\_cl.pyo", line 12, in
  File "pyopencl\_cl.pyo", line 10, in __load
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Are you still having issues? I had the same error.

Step 1. Uninstall driver with utility.
Step 2. Delete all GUIminer scypt alpha files.
Step 3. Reboot computer
Step 4. Reinstall latest driver, 13.4
Step 5. Get GUIminer scrypt alpha

It might fix this issue.

Use GUIMiner for BTC, PPC, TRC, FRC, and other sha-256 based coins.

Use GUIMiner-Scrypt for LTC, NVC, and FC.

I can at least confirm that it works on LTC and FC.

ok, but can i have guiminer and guiminer scrypt instaled at one comupter?
does it cause some porblem? or they can work together without issues?

I have both GUIMiners running on multiple computers without issue. I mine TRC, LTC and FC.

@3Dfilament
thank you for posting your 7950 settings!
works better for me Wink
523kh with no oc

Thanks for confirming those settings, I like to run conservatively. But the best cards I have, I will OC just a bit to squeeze up to 584 out of them in a well controlled, small miner room.
