Thanks for all your responses…

All the software I've tried to mine freezes when started the two cards.

Seems the Motherboard has gen 1 Pci-e 16x slots. You will need at least gen 2.0 Smiley

Really? These are the specifications: 3 x PCIe x16 slot, support NVIDIA® SLI™ technology, at x8, x8,x16 or x16, x1, x16 speed

Maybe shall I switch to Linux? It would be easier?

meh, you windows miners. post cgminer conf file fast, once you've installed drivers, issues are only your configuration.

99% of all blue screens are from a failure in memory. Try removing a stick of memory at a time and maybe you'll find a bad stick.
probably easier just to run memtest86

Thank you gadman2 for your response.

The blue screen appeared only a few days ago, when changing AMD drivers and trying to mine. Anyway I'll test the RAM.

Hi to all!
I'm requesting your help because I don't know what more to do to mine LTC with my two cards. I've tried a lot of software and configurations with no results (resets, blue screens, etc). So I would really appreciate if someone with the same cards could give me some light in my darkness…

This is my rig:
Pentium 4 3.00 overclocked to 3.45
8 Gb RAM
Asus P5NT WS Motherboard (3 PCI-E)
GPU AMD 5870
GPU AMD 7850
Windows 7 Ultimate in a Corsair SSD 32Gb (Nova series V32)
Liquid Refrigeration for the CPU and GPU's
Corsair GS 800 Power Supply
Latest AMD and SDK drivers. Also 12.8 and 2.7

Thank you!
