I used to have the same problem until I installed the recommended version of the driver, 64 bit in my case (12-8_vista_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc.exe)

Okay, so it was the Drivers... I did a total uninstall of all AMD drivers (they like to stick around) and installed the 11.11 version of the catalyst and now GUIminer works but hash rate sucks and drivers suck   Undecided

I have the same card. It works with cgminer for sure. But sometimes you need to delete any BIN files from cgminer folder because they become corrupted for some reason...

sounds like a bad card

I have two cards, 1 that works great for last 3 months of mining, and 1 brand new card that worked great for 24 hours of mining. I was "breaking in" the crossfire setup and hadn't yet overclocked anyone. Tried both card separate and neither works. Cards are both perfect.


The SDK tools will have to be installed to mine opencl.

I would try uninstalling whatever SDK tools you have on there and figuring out how to get the tools properly installed.

There are some pretty good reads out there on getting SDK and drivers removed for a new clean install

How many ways can it be installed, I did a total removal of SDK and all graphics drivers about 5 times and reinstalled using new versions, old versions and different combos of both. Still did the exact same error the whole time. Also, when it was functioning 100% correct with both cards, I never changed any drivers or SDK...

Have a look at settings other users have had success with on this page
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_Hardware_Comparison

still no luck?  try bfgminer

still not working, idiot-proof solution is BITMINTER.

remember to mess around with your video cards clock settings with http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm

I'm having issues with cgminer with a 5770 too. When I run it, it works unit the momento it begins gpu processing and force closes (win7 64). I'm minning with bitminter software now, but I prefer using cgminer because is more configurable for over/under clocking. Any help?

Any reason you're choosing CGminer?

I was using guiminer on slushs pool for last several months... One day I looked at my miner and it just stopped accepting shares...

Im using bitminter software now, but do not like it nearly as much. Id prefer to be back on slush or similar.


Reward to anyone that helps me solve this!

Reward starts at  .1BTC  just to help me make guiminer (which is already setup and has been working perfect, start working again)

Why don't you use the miner from bitminter.com?
It seems to be super easy to use, perfect for newbies.
I haven't used them, I prefer eclipsemc, but they don't have the easy to use miner.

So what kind of settings are you using? Have you tried anything like this:

cgminer -I 7 -v 1 -w 256 -o stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:8332 -u pool.worker.name -p password

Obviously you need to sign up to a pool (in the example bitminter.com) and replace pool.worker.name and password to whatever you chose.
