I have a strange issue with cgminer... After a day or two of work hash rate starts to slowly drop from usual 440 Mhash/s and reaches 340 Mhash/s within 30-40 minutes where it stops. Restarting cgminer brings hashrate back to usual values. Any ideas why this happens?

Does the utility drop too?

The script restarts cgminer right away, so it don't have chance to drop, but p2pool also sees the drop in hash rate, so I guess - yes.

At a guess ... 12.4 is your problem ... since I heard it would often just pack up and die for no reason with cgminer.

Had same issue with 12.3. Sad

I had similar issue with DiabloMiner, but in that case hash rate was dropping below 150. I also think it's a driver issue. I'll try older versions to see if that helps.

I'm not impressed with 12.4. After I installed it, on top of 12.2, all my 7970 cards got "locked" to 500/150 (not the usual 300/150). AB, cgminer, Trixx, GPUTweak could not reset clocks to defaults. I even switched to second BIOS. No luck. cgminer could only mine at 500/150. I also noticed cgminer handles jumped to over 20,000 from the usual 9000. Maybe it was trying to reset clocks and was failing but something was not closing handles.

I uninstalled all the AMD crap, all the third party tools. Rebooted, uninstalled video drivers. Rebooted to VGA mode.
Installed 12.1, no SDK, just the cat. AB 2.2.1 did reset the clocks and lowered the voltage.

Now I'm happily mining at 925/~~340~~85/0.88V. Yes that is right, ~~340~~ 85 MHz for the memory.

Has anyone compiled a cgminer that will run on Raspberry Pi?

I'm attempting to compile my own cgminer.exe to disable OpenCL.
I'm attempting to run this cgminer.exe in a Virtual Environment that doesn't have a GFX attached (using COM ports with BitForce (BFL Single)).

The problem after compiling with the flags of CFLAGS="-O2 -msse2" ./configure --disable-opencl --enable-bitforce and trying to run cgminer.exe (with all the lib's and *.cl's in the right spot), I get All devices disabled, cannot mine!.

Is there something I need to add to be able to run this in a non-enabled OpenCL environment?

[PS. Sorry, it's 3:30am and I'm having trouble articulating my words correctly.]

Tell it where the BFL is as the windows version of cgminer can't detect them automatically.

When running the cgminer.exe, I created a .bat file with the following:

Code:

cgminer -o http://[removed] -u [removed] -p [removed] -S COM3

[EDIT]: Sorry, found out I was using the BFL Single on another CMD window.

Using Linux here and never had any of the issues you guys are reporting.

Windows is the root cause of your problems, I suspect.

When is BSOD who are you going to blame ? cgminer as well ? Haha !

1.) Work on your grammar
2.) The BSoD's are Error code screens that tells you whats wrong so you can fix your machine, but if your an idiot, Then a Blue Screen of DEATH is all you think.
3.) "windows is the problem" Is a sterotypical answer from someone whom as a kid, ran windows, Got Owned, Repeatedly, And gave up.

Now i remember why you have such a heavy Ignore colour.
You Troll, And scam.

I mean really, What is the point of your post? Your bashing windows in a Mining Software thread. Get a fucking life.

This morning I had another case of cgminer freezing on me. The screen displayed that pool wasn't responding fast enough and was switching to pool 1 (local). The time stamps on the screen was 6 hours prior to the current time. The screen had stopped updating, as well, as the GPU temperature was wrong, as closing cgminer and re-opening it proved.

This is not OK.

Another case of one of my BFL's dropping off when throttling.
CGminer sees it as still alive, but the temp and 5s hash rate remains static and the overall hash and util drops.
Disabling/re-enabling does nothing.

Poopy. Wish I had the time to decipher the BFL code.

Ok, I was being stupid. I figured it out, setting intensity to 14 solved the problem

.

I would recommend reviewing the executive summary in the first post of this thread. It has some good suggested starting points along with the most common command line switch's.

Setting it to 14 will cause a different problem; I recommend turning it down to about 9.

Could somebody help me with an issue I'm having using any miner (cgminer included)?

My cards are only using 50% of their CPU constantly, as shown on the screenies below:

Are you purposely running your intensity that low?

Are all of your GPU's running displays?

Do you use your system while mining or is this dedicated?

I would suggest only using one display and setting the intensity for that GPU to dynamic if being used or 7 if it is dedicated. Then the GPU's that aren't driving displays set the intensities to 8 or 9 and then tinker around a bit for best performance.

But that's me,
Sam

No, I'm not doing this purposely, that's why I'm asking

. I don't run anything on this rig, it's a pure miner. Only one display is connected.

How do I set intensity of mining though?

Another this I've noticed:
When you change the priority of a pool to the top (via the API) and you save the config file, the order of the pools in the config file remains unchanged from is original. Maybe this should change to match the current priority order?

I've implemented this and put in a pull request for it.
A quick look at the code suggests that if the primary pool goes down and the next back up comes on, the priority doesn't change. Just the index is incremented.

Using 3 cards with Win7, there are times that the cards stop mining and everything on the desktop disappear except the background. Tried disabling the OC of the cards but the problem remained.

Went back to 2.3.6 and been running 3 days now without hiccups, except for a slight increase in stales.

Try reducing the hash rate of the main card (the card connected to the display, usually the one closest to the CPU).

Already tried that. With 2.4.1, the problem persist even if I run the primary card at default core clock. With 2.3.6, all 3 6870s at 960 core work for days without problems.

Is there a notification list we can subscribe to that will send e-mail notifications when new releases of cgminer are made available?
