Nope...... it does mine for 7 minutes .... then ccminer was stopped by an app.  

Problem maybe heat related.

Ok trying  some things now.


Did an upgrade on bios not long ago.
I have intel drivers doing the mb hd video.
I dont know how to turn it off.
Totally deleted afterburner.
Setting bios to to reboot normal speed.
And then going to try it out.

Its been mining now for 3 days no problems.
Its not the antivirus but something in windows on reboot not sure.
My next thing to do is take it off fast boot to normal boot.
That type of crash report is the drivers not installing all the way.
I dare not turn it off right now.. lost a lot of btc but another heat wave coming and I'll have to shut it down for 4 hours a day for 7 days... then I'll change the bios to slow boot.
It has 20,000 accepts so far.
But that is only one of the crash problems.. the other is why are they clocked at 1417 way out of range causing a ccminer crash? Bad cards? IDK
Maybe be doing an rma on both cards.

antivirus? i think you need maybe a format c with a clean install, maybe install only the necessary things for mining in a separate machine if you have one

 
What is that app? Driving me nuts.

yeah just msi afterbuner last version, windows has a problem at first when i plugged all the card, in recognizing the last one, but after a couple of restart everything went well

maybe do not plug them all at once, i have  abetter hash now, peak was 1510

How does FTA-PCIE adapter work? I dont see where you add a card to it. and how it would work. thx

Thx Amph  I'm going to call gigabyte and see if I can trade them for a 1070. those cards are bad 970 i have.

Amph what controller do you use again  afterburner only supports 4 cards like precision x garbage.
thx
Is that afterburner Amp your using ? does it recognized all 6 cards?

throw away that relic, buy a 1070 really worth the invest imho, it's a great card very stable no problem i can let the rig run for days

also very high profit right now with lbry ive already mined 1 btc(actually a bit more...) in 15 days, with 7 gpu....

Now the one 970 isn't hashing i think the fix is to throw them away.. garbage cards. oc'ing themselves to 1417  wtf
I'll never buy gigabyte again.

Took the 970 out . till I have time to look further.

Note crashed this morning ... zpool  lbry algo
Cant stabilize it... trying something.
Note after all this time now I cant get all cards to mine and sometimes on reboot the 980ti drops out too and sometimes on reboot both 970 drop out.. not recognized.
Code 43.
Crash boom bang
Unplugging it for 2 minutes

OK running again must go into the asrock bios and change from fast boot to normal boot.. this may help for code 43.
crash

Getting System Interrupts running cpu at 100% looking for solution
Edit: it does that when the drivers aren't fully installed ...after a crash.

Have you ever used steam? :  Http://www.steampowered.com

Just go to library/store and search for EVGA PrecisionX   That's how you download a copy.

It's just a i7 920;  nothing super special....  But the case is HUGE and heavy.  Holy cow.  Seriously.  Huge.  Ill either be adding a 3rd video card to this unit in the future, or ill be adding my FTA-PCIE adapter

Next to it is a Dell Precision 690 with 2x X5365 Xeons and 24Gb of ECC Reg ram, as well as the upgraded 1000W power supply.  With an optional riser card you can install 2 16x PCIE cards, but when I ran two, I just jimmied one of the risers into a 1x slot.  That machine is a good reliable number pounder that I am looking to sell finally.  I have a 20 core machine to replace it which presently mining for me up in SF.

Ive been running all my cards in P2 as well.  I have kboost disabled for now.  The older ones like GTX 550, 650, 750, etc... seem to run in P0 on their own... My watercooled GTX 480 would run in P0 @ 75-80*c when mining and not thermal throttle surprisingly.... and that same single width mini radiator would cool the GPU and the i7-920 while mining Neoscrypt.


We just got our LBRY block.   for a 10.2% share reward, I got 0.011 BTC.  Now that I am where I belong at a little over 30% share presently..... that's a nice return if we get lucky again soon!   I am in it for the long haul on that algo for now.
The card may sit in P2 state, but voltage, clocks, and etc are all set to P0 settings.  no matter what the power state table it reads from, the table is the P0 table.  This is how I understand how it works.

I did see a % increase of hashrates when enabling it.

Very nice JK
EVGA k-boost tool .. I never heard of that and to "keep" cards at the p0 state throughout all P-state changes  fantastic ..very nice do you have a link plz  
One connection per device is great too. Very nice.
I see you have a cooler too.
ps my cards are in the p2 state now except the 750ti of course.
Thx
EDIT:I didn't know kboost would do that.. I don't understand how that would keep them in the p0 state.

im running 10, so that link wont work for me XD

Anyways... I am happy to have my 960 alongside the 980.  It surprised me with the card size difference when seeing them next to each other:



The fact that the 960 only takes an 8 pin plug is kind-of nice as well.   I've been hashing solid on LBRY for the past few days.  No OC utilities used.  I might use the EVGA k-boost tool to lock it into P0 settings throughout all P-state changes.... but its been pretty stable as-is, and while mining lbry, I am able to mine at full intensity and play 3d games at the same time.

I am working on a mod to my batch to allow selecting specific gpu's per batch instance... this way you can trim intensity per card, and have one connection per device to have more individual information provided on the zpool web interface.

I did wonder if I should do drivers for each series card but I didn't need to.

Here you go JK

http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/105033/en-us

12 hrs and rig still running.

nice.

Yeah;  IDK how you ended up with a driver that encompasses all models;  Because I have the 980 driver installed on my machine, but I had to go to nvidia.com to download the nearly 300Mb package to install the 960 driver alongside with my 980 before miners would see it......

I haven't had any crashing issues yet on all stock drivers/settings and the two mixed cards.

After installing oc guru and found it didn't have the things needed.. I uninstalled it and run into the problem on my last post above. I then reinstalled it to try to get that last file uninstalled.
Rebooted and took 2 reboots for the extra 970 to be recognized.
Then using msi afterburner I tried mining again. And afterburner only displays 4 cards but controls 5.
The 970 clocks are at 1417mhz but been mining now without a crash for 20 minutes .. first time in 2 months. First time period.
See how long it lasts.
1 hour so far. One algo only too.
EDIT: Wow 12 hours now .. still mining in the p2 state.

Here is a post I found on another site and I'm unable to uninstall all the files from oc guru it says one file needs to be updated first before I can uninstall. Is it part of the problem?... maybe..maybe not.
And my cards are in gaming mode.

>Gigabyte's OC Guru Cause Of My Annoyance! Finally after trying all the various fixes I have found the solution to not being able to play the game without it crashing. It turns out it was the Gigabyte OC Guru program running in the background that was conflicting with the game.
After closing this program (which I don't even use anyway!), I was able to get past the intro movie, past the birthing scene and into the main game and play perfectly fine with no crashes at all.

I urge anyone with a Gigabyte graphics card to check if you have the OC Guru program running in the background. Check your hidden icons and look for it there and then close it. Better still, check your startup programs in msconfig and disable it (OS_GURU).

Going back through my posts it was fellow forum-er ajw5105 who first alerted me to the fact that my overclocking software was causing the problem but I think I just skimmed past the message. Thanks to you ajw and also to thefrench author of this thread: http://forums.steamgames.com/forums/...4#post24574174 which explained exactly what to do.

I hope this helps those of you who are still having issues running the game no matter what fixes you try. It could be that you don't have a Gigabyte GPU but a similar piece of software is what's causing the problem.

The next time your game crashes before you just exit it, click on the little dropdown more information arrow and take note of what the Fault Module Name is. It's likely to be a DLL file (in my case it was GvKm.dll) and then Google that filename and see what program it corresponds to. Then either disable that program or uninstall it if you're not using it.

Sorry for the long post but I think there are a lot of people out there who are driving themselves mad trying to get this game to work.<
