This line works, but slow:

And manually setting as your said, solves the issue:

But max is 360Kh out of my 7970... I was hitting +500kH few days ago from it... :-/

Best,

Your intensity is too high. 7970 maxes out at intensity 13.

Check the new readme included it has lots of information. Try --shaders 2048 and -g 1 to begin with, then slowly increase -g if it doesn't crash.

Sure! I've read that... And played with those numbers, always same result...

I'll try a old cgminer-2.5.0 compiled from git that I have in some flashdrive around here, it was working before... I was getting +500kH with this same 7970 card... Same drivers/sdk/etc...

Thanks anyway!

Try manually setting the thread concurrency multiples of 2048

I had a GPU hang/crash long ago that seems to have damaged one of my 3 GPUs.

After that crash I could never get cgminer to auto set the intensity, engine and memory speeds on this one GPU (though the other 2 are fine). I can omit the values for the 3rd GPU in cgminer.conf and cgminer will start that GPU fine with defaults I=4, M=1000, E=800.

After that I can manually use the screen to set I=8, M=250, E=900 and it will run great.

But always, always if I try to put those same values in the conf file and have it set them upon starting it always hangs the machine. I'm a bit tired of manually setting the values whenever the machine restarts.

Anyone recognize why this happens or ideas how to fix?

(btw that GPU is more fragile too. It won't run as fast as the others. It used to need a small voltage bump to even come close.)

New release - version 2.6.0, July 29 2012

- Limit total number of curls recruited per pool to the number of mining threads
to prevent blasting the network when we only have one pool to talk to.

This is the fix for those who keep asking if the bug with failover-only mode where it sends out lots of requests has been fixed. But of course, run 2.6.1, not 2.6.0 since that has the silly fake sick bug.

Hi!

I have 1 7970, running cgminer 2.6.1 for Bitcoin smoothly.

When I try it for Litecoin, it just crash...

Code:

cd cgminer-2.6.1-x86_64-built
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100 GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1 DISPLAY=:0 ./cgminer -o http://MY_IP:9327 -u 7970.master2 -p x --scrypt -g 5 --gpu-engine 1135 --gpu-memclock 1375 --auto-gpu --auto-fan

.......

Aborted (core dumped)

Even if I halt and start the machine, it doesn't work... Sad

I'm using CGMiner 2.6.1, Ubuntu 12.04 64 bits, Catalyst 12.6 and SDK v2.6.

I appreciate any help!

Thanks!
Thiago

Check the new readme included it has lots of information. Try --shaders 2048 and -g 1 to begin with, then slowly increase -g if it doesn't crash.

I compiled 2.6.1 for Windows and I've got it running now with 2 BFL Singles.

It looks like it tries to restart now if I pull the power plug on the Singles. It's a little touchy if it tries to restart while the BFLs are still booting up (the first time I tried, only one of them restarted). On a second try they both restarted, though.

Code:

... and a Xubuntu 11.04 executable in my github downloads:
https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/downloads

For anyone who didn't realise, it's just the executable file to put in place of 'cgminer'
Nothing else needs changing
First get and extract the full binary release from ckolivas and then copy my file in place of 'cgminer'

Running fine on my 3 setups:
1) 1xBFL (hashing at 873 MH/s)
2) 2xIcarus (hashing at 379.x MH/s each)
3) 1x6950

Edit: and yes I compiled in scrypt support also - the same as cvolivas' binary version
In case anyone was wondering:
CFLAGS="-O2 -W -Wall" ./configure --enable-icarus --enable-bitforce --enable-ztex --enable-modminer --enable-scrypt

New version: 2.6.1 - July 30, 2012

Quick hotfix to prevent devices being labelled SICK when they're really not.

Changelog

- Remove the low hash count determinant of hardware being sick. A low hash rate
can be for poor network connectivity or scrypt mining, neither of which are sick
devices.
- api.c poolpriority changes
- Display scrypt as being built in as well.
- Fix build warning about KL_SCRYPT when built without scrypt support.
- Documentation updates.

I left my old phatk .bin in the folder from 2.5, but every time I start 2.6, it generates a new one anyway. Is that supposed to happen?

Oh and it looks like dynamic intensity is fixed again. Sweet.

Yep - they have new date stamps in the *.cl filenames ...

Can I just rename it and have it work then? Diablo's not quite doing it for me. Tongue

Yes, i know that ATI is better. But its not that i want to mine seriously, its more that i have to be away a good amount of hours every second day and i can only use my notebook there. The electricity is free there so i thought of playing lotto by letting my cpu and gpu mine bitcoins. Someone suggested i should mine litecoins instead and so i tried this.
And at the moment i was able to make scryptminer and pooler cpu miner work with my cpu and it works with pool-x, so i think solomining will work too. But i dont get my gpu to work.
I mean why is cgminer telling that it is hashing at 6.8MH/s, which is 100 times more than the cpu but at the targetted pool i only have 0.5kH/s or so. That doesnt match it seems.

I tried to run it with the --scrypt tag but then it hangs somehow at the startscreen and doesnt want to work it seems.

And reaper is another strange thing. Everytime i start it to mine first my driver breaks with a black screen and is restarted. After that its strange because at some programs i get dancing dots then. For example the full space of firefox has dots that change everytime something on the screen changes. That means the blinking cursor is a change too. But the whole desktopbackground is free of the dots. Then explorerwindows have only some dots and the keepasswindow has no dots at all.

What is this? I mean it cant be something overheatet on the gpu because its not hot enough. And when it would something from the gpu then it would be on the whole screen, not on single program guis isnt it?

Thanks!
Sebastian

Get an ATI GPU.
They mine MUCH faster.
GPU mining on a 9600 will probably cost you more in electricity than it will generate in bitcoins.
Also, a 9600 is a VERY OLD card

Enable windows error reporting (WER), if the C05 exception is in cgminer, re-compile it and create a mapfile for it. Post the WER report and your map file. WER report should tell you if exception is in one of the dlls or the cgminer exe. The offset should tell you where it crashed, unless the stack is blown...

Here's the windows error log.

cgminer is unable to display everything is wants to display. libcurses.dll is catching an exception so I'd run cgminer in a quiet mode. People with many FPGAs and small window size were reporting similar error in the past. I don't remember if it was the same offset, search this forum.

Hello,

i finally got cgminer running by installing the latest inf-modded NVidia Driver that doesnt bring problems. I was able to setup cgminer and the gpu brings 6.8Mh/s the stats say. But the pool im mining for is telling me that i send under 1 kH/s only. Even with Pooler CPU Miner i send 6.8kH/s and theoretically cgminer should be able to send 100 times that much.

I start cgminer with:

Code:

L:\Tools\Hardware\Geld\Miner\CGMiner\cgminer.exe -o http://mine.pool-x.eu:8337/ -p *** -u ***

The matching settings work for pooler too.

Im using Vista with a NVidia GeForce 9600M GT with Driver 301.40 now. I downvolted and overclocked the card via firmware overclocking to core clock 607MHz, Shader clock 1424MHz and Memory Clock 979MHz (1958MHz data rate) and its stable. The card has 512MB GDDR3 RAM and 32 CUDA Cores.

When i started cgminer in the top left corner it claims to run at 6.8MH/s and it says it runs only at one thread.

What do i have to change so that it runs and is there a tweak in settings that would work better than the standardsetting?

I then see that the CPU is working 75%. Is this normal for gpu-mining or does it mean that the cpu is mining too? I would like to have gpu and cpu work both on mining so that the best performance comes out. Of course the cpu shouldnt slow down the gpu-mining then.

Thanks!
Sebastian

Ok, I've been having a somewhat weird problem with cgminer for a while now. I've tried searching but I couldn't find any relevant info. I'm running windows 7 x64. When I start cgminer it crashes immediately. There's no error message shown, even with -D command line option. I get a "cgminer has stopped working" dialog from windows. It doesn't seem to be related to my devices, it happens if I use one or two of my 7970s, or no GPUs and just the two Cairnsmore1's I have connected. I have tried multiple versions of cgminer (2.5.0, 2.3.4(Enterpoint modified)) , and the issue occurs on both of them. I've downloaded a fresh cgminer and the issue occurs with it as well. I have installed multiple AMD driver versions (12.3, 12.4, 12.6, 12.7) and the issue occurs with all of them. To my knowledge nothing has changed since cgminer was working properly.

I can get cgminer to run by restarting windows (I have cgminer included in the startup folder to run automatically) and not touching anything. It'll run properly until I try to move the cgminer window or open a browser or media app. Then it crashes in exactly the same way, and crashes with each subsequent restart.

Now the strangest part is that this happened to me about a month ago out of the blue like now. I tried everything I could think of to fix it, and got frustrated and walked away for a while. I came back (maybe 12 hours later) and ran cgminer and it worked flawlessly up until last night.

I used the debugging option via visual studios and was able to get this, no clue if it'll be of help at all:

Unhandled exception at 0x62209ccc in cgminer.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x6223efac.

If anyone could help I'd appreciate it, I can't think of anything else I can try to get this working again (other than just waiting it out, for whatever reason that worked before). Thanks guys.

Tried increasing the size of your dos prompt window before starting it?

I thought I did (a long time ago), so I went back and checked again and apparently I never modified the defaults, only the current session. That didn't fix the problem, but now I get this (with -D flag):

Enable windows error reporting (WER), if the C05 exception is in cgminer, re-compile it and create a mapfile for it. Post the WER report and your map file. WER report should tell you if exception is in one of the dlls or the cgminer exe. The offset should tell you where it crashed, unless the stack is blown...
