I had this problem and it was driving me crazy.

Finally I figured it out - download then run the AMD Catalyst Un-install Utility.  Then clean install your drivers, and it finally stops crashing.  Catalyst 13.3 seemed to be causing me problems, so I tried with 12.8 and finally everything worked.
this worked for me too

Followed your instructions and worked perfectly after installing 12.8 everything is running smoothly. Thanks for your help.

although i don't get it to crash on my machine...
sometimes it just starts then closes immediately.
i have a file that is generated in my CGMiner dir called 'phatk110816Caymanbitalignv2w128long4.bin'
i find if i delete that file.. then the miner starts back up again and runs.
perhaps this will help
Can you provide a like as to where you got this information?  I would like to know what's wrong, how this works, and why it works.

Thanks,

If it helps, for me the file was poclbm110817ATI RV770v2w128long4.bin

My uneducated guess is that it's somehow saving the settings that don't work for the system and make the program crash/close. =shrugs=

You are a god. Thank you SO much. Now I can finally mine without everything being all sluggish. <3

Also, thank you to who told me to add -g 1. It worked once I deleted the file, but broke again when I removed that command. So that piece of advice helped too. n.n;;

That's what I got with the verbose flag.

try --gpu-threads 1 (or -g 1) as an extra argument.

Looks like your card cannot start a second thread

No diffrence...

Try adding the --verbose flag at the end of the command line and see what you get...

Windows 7 64 bit, 2.3ghz Phenom x4, one Radeon HD 4870. GCMiner version 1.5.8.C:\[file hierarchy]\cgminer.exe
You can't direct it like that using c:\blah\blah
You must run it from the directory it's in directly.
cd \blah\blah
cgminer.exe -blah -blah

It still crashes when I run it directly and input the stuff for one pool by hand.

Yeah... command prompt didn't help at all, it just shows the same "cgminer.exe has stopped working" popup, with the terminal turning that unresponsive grey.

Did you run it through command prompt or in command prompt?  Only one will show you what is going wrong.

Apparently my googling hath failed me. Explain please?

I mean did you run cgminer with the Start command or simply go to the directory and type cgminer.exe -blah -blah.

I did what joulesbeef said, so the latter, I guess.

Edit: Just tried using "start" blahblahblah, didn't change anything, it just opened up a new window that crashed instead of running in the command prompt window.

Yeah, I was doing it right.

No error message, just the "CGminer.exe has stopped working" popup and booting me back into the regular command prompt.

Last thing it says before crashing is "Long-polling activated for http://deepbit.net:8332/listenChannel"

Usually anyway. Occasionally it's gone to the main menu or whatever that it actually mines on ( CPU only runs... I tried it out just to see ) but always crashed right away whether it was able to output that first or not.

Just a thought, is the 4XXX series even compatible with CGminer? When I look around the forums, all I see are people talking about using 5XXX or 6XXX series cards...

moOo
he just means did you open a cmd prompt up first or just run a batch file


as you know if you just run a batch fle and it hs an error message the cmd prompt black box will disappear


where if you run the command prompt first, it doesnt and you can read said message

i figure you already are.. but in case you arent.. Hold shift, and right click on the cgminer dir. select open command prompt here

and then right click and paste your command above..


the holding of shift only adds the new menu item to your right click menu.. "open command prompt here"

I think he means, open up msdos (by typing "cmd" in the search bar by the start menu) and then CD mapname to go to the directory of cgminer.
