hello:) did you mine?
Hi, I am in the same place as you. Trying to get out of newbie town.
welcome.
Hello.
Many people have this difficulty. I have tried to help several of them but without much luck. I initially also had this problem myself and managed to fix it. Unfortunately I am not sure what actually fixed it.
One thing I would suggest is to find someone with a known good .bat (or .sh for linux/mac) file with very conservative settings and slowly tweak the settings to be closer to the posted settings.
One major thing people often overlook is setting this for windows:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
Or this in linux/mac:
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
Add that to the beginning of a .bat file (or .sh file) with the cgminer command line in it too (at the end).
What this does is allow your driver or whatever to use 100% of your video card's resources. Otherwise it will reserve some for other programs like windows. You will experience lag on your desktop while mining. At least that's what I think this setting does anyway, I don't know for certain.
But there's many other things that could be wrong. More than likely your settings are too aggressive and you need to back them off. Intensity is a major cause of this. Try 12 or 13 at first and slowly increase until you start getting hardware errors, then back off.
Anyway, I hope this helps.

Hi
Im new to this forum but bought my first rig. I have 3 7950s and am running cgminer 3.1 but I cant get the ssettings to work that are posted for my rig. Im getting good hash rates but my hardware errors are high. Im hoping to find a solution here. Thanks!
