idk why, i can't get mi pc work with any update since 3.0.0 i open my bats for mining scrypt, and no luck, just cgminer crash...
i'm thinking in formating my pc...

Now finally I can reply here.....
I have a problem because of overheating PC and it shuts down because of that what can I do to prevent this, to make cgminer use less gpu when temperature start to rise to shut down?
I have this flags set
-I d --auto-fan --real-quiet --gpu-dyninterval 4
And when I work on pc I have this flags but still fans on graphic cards runs almost on 80%
-I d --auto-fan --real-quiet --gpu-dyninterval 1
Thank's for helping

Hello
I have it working (last version, on a USB persistent flash drive, xubuntu 12.04), but i notice a couple of things:
when I change gpu parameters (Voltage, GPU and RAM) and then go to settings Write config file, that info is not written in the cgminer.conf
so I edited the file manually and now, when i start the program it reads it properly, so far so good.
now I don't know how to save the --auto-fan --auto-gpu in the cgminer.conf, it is not in the README or i missed it entirely
can you please tell me how to do that in the cgminer.conf so I don't need to use the switches when i start the program?
thank you
It is safer to not write settings that are changed dynamically so cgminer will only write values for clocking to the config file if you have passed it from the menu.I have it working (last version, on a USB persistent flash drive, xubuntu 12.04), but i notice a couple of things:

Others are as per any on/off type settings:
"auto-gpu": true,
etc

I went through some trial an error with my first 7970 and I think 12.3 was the first version I found that worked. 12.4 is more stable, though. I have a rig with 5850s and 7970s and 12.4 (and the SDK that came with it) was the least 'problematic' to run both.
So you didn't install AMD APP SDK, just the AMP APP SDK Runtime that came with Catalyst 12.4? I'm really glad someone's had a similar situation. My rig will have a 7970 and a 6850. It currently just has a 6850.
EDIT: It's working beautifully, now (similarly to how it runs whilst in linux). Thanks
(Installed Catalyst 12.4 with its included AMD APP SDK Runtime (I did not install a separate AMP APP SDK))

EDIT: I had one more question. Does anyone know which AMD Driver introduced support for the Radeon HD 7970 (I assume I'll just have to experiment with the drivers that AMD has released)? I'm going to add that into my computer soon.

CGminer crashes when I start it on windows. Any ideas why? (inb4 "you're using windows")
Catalyst 13.4; AMD APP SDK 2.8; I'm using the "cgminer-3.1.1-windows" precompiled binaries; 64bit Windows 7 SP1
AMD HD Radeon 6850
It works fine on linux.

Which driver version and APP SDK is recommended for running cgminer on windows with an AMD Radeon HD 6850? Thanks for your help so far
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/README
It's in the FAQ section.
Psst, it's now in the GPU-README 
Thanks for being so helpful!!! I really appreciate it! Sorry if my questions were kind of 'newb-ish'
I found it here: GPU-README under Q: Which AMD SDK is the best for cgminer? and Q: Which AMD driver is the best?
I tried the versions listed, so I was a bit confused. Then, I noticed "Windows has a nasty history of not cleanly uninstalling files so you may have to use third party tools like driversweeper to remove old versions." under Q: cgminer crashes immediately on startup.
Again, thanks for all the help

If you --usb :0 then it won't even look at USB other than to call the standard libusb_init(NULL);
(and wont mine on any BAS,BFL,MMQ USB devices)
So you can at least work out if your problem is caused by libusb or some other program.
Though I will point out that on my linux desktop mining with a BFL and a BAJ, I regularly plug in and pull out 2xSamsung (GS1 and GS3) Androids and an iPhone3 and have no problems at all - but that is linux not windows ...

Disregard, just now, come to find out cgminer had nothing to do with it. I use openVPN GUI, and that is the culprit. I start OpenVPN GUI prior to doing anything internet related. If I shut it down, then that icon goes away.
I will delete my post. Sorry guys.
Good to know the cause if it happens to someone else.

Hey guys !
got a problem with my fpga ... I got an Icarus compatible FPGA and have installed the windows driver using zadig utility. problem is that cgminer doesn't see the fpgas ...
any clue ? Windows sees them ok.
Thanks, Alex
Ironically Icarus is the only driver that has currently NOT been converted to direct USB. It is in the process of being rewritten but the current cgminer release uses the ftdi driver for Icarus compatible hardware.got a problem with my fpga ...

thanks for the quick reply ! what would be a ftdi driver ?
kinda new to fpgas ... had gpus thus far. so ... will it work ? or not yet with 3.1.1 and must revert to older version ?

The windows serial-USB driver is here:

Interesting that they seem to have dropped Windows 8 support for certain versions of the chip ........

is cgminer scanning usb periodically while running? i noticed my Haupauge HD-PVR keeps locking up when running cgminer. if it is, can it be disabled under windows?
--hotplug 0This gave me an idea, that cgminer was locking up this icon, and indeed, cgminer is locking up this icon, after I eject my android.
If I restart my pc, then plug in my android via usb, then right click this icon, click eject, then click the icon again, it goes away. The second after I start cgminer, plug in my android, right click the icon, eject, click the icon, the icon does not go away, I have to restart the pc.
The icon.

Any suggestions?
I've added
Code:
"hotplug" : "0",

It compiles as 3.1.1 but when I start it, it says 2.10.3 and complains about not being able to open the diablo stuff. I did a git pull right before doing this compile.
Well, you didn't include the compiler output, but one possibility is that the compile process failed with some error and so didn't update the cgminer executable, and so you are running with the executable from the last time you compiled (with version 2.10.3 source code).
You sir are correct. The executable has a December date on it. Thanks.
