Got a 7870(Pitcairn) for my desktop (Win 8 - 64 bit) while waiting for my old card to go in for warranty replacement. Not overclocking for now, because my desktop isn't great on ventilation.

Running 13.4 Catalyst and APP SDK 2.8

On my dedicate mining machine (Win 7 -32 bit) and with my previous desktop card (6770), I used BFGMiner with no issues.

Now, BFGMiner (3.0.2 win64) crashes out instantly unless I am using poclbm, which even though the console hasrate is high, it is giving me garbage performance on every pool I try it on (Eligius, BTCGuild, Deepbit). I assume this is due to poclbm and stratum issues.

If I use CGMiner, with any kernel, including poclbm, there are no issues including with stratum, other than poclbm tends to overstate its hashrate in the console.

Any ideas on what I can do to get BFGMiner to run? I would rather use the same client for all my machines.

I had the exact same issue (Windows 7 x64 running 13.4). It is the 13.4 AMD drivers. For some reason AMD removed 13.1 from their site, but if you do a search on the internet you can find the 13.1 drives and download it. That fixes the issue. No more crashing

Unfortunately, there will be no compiling of any sort on this Windows machine, its not set up for dev.

Does that mean I am pretty much SOL until I have time to do that?

Compile with debugging information:

Code:

./configure CFLAGS='-O0 -ggdb' && make # note the OH ZERO

Then run it in gdb:

Code:

gdb --args ./bfgminer -T -D

When it crashes, it will drop you to a gdb prompt; run:

Code:

thr app all bt

... and pastebin the output.

I tried running from command line and it shows no errors. The window closes and windows says it errored and closed.

Is there any other way to capture any data as to what is happening?

Run with the --debug --text-only options.

If it's crashing, though, it's probably an OpenCL/driver issue.

What opencl/driver combo do you recommend? I am running the latest from AMD on the 64 bit system

Thanks

Personally, I'd run Linux and put each GPU in its own KVM instance with the last driver/SDK before the card was replaced by the next series...

Hardware is a 7970, 5970, 5830. AMD processor, 8gb RAM, Raid 1 on the drives.

IIRC there are some issues with mixing 7xxx and 5xxx GPUs, like Luke-Jr said, most likely drivers. As a test, pull out the 7970 and see if you can get it stable with just the 5xxx GPUs.

I am having an issue with 3.0.2 or any version for that matter on a new machine. The machine is a 64bit windows 7 and it is a new build whenever I run bfgminer on it. I enter the pool and credentials and then it errors and closes. I have even tried different pools that are working on other machines. I don't know where to start looking for what is causing this or what is missing. I have even ran the latest 2.8.10 64bit build.

Any help or suggestions???

Run it from a commandline to see what the error is...
What mining device are you trying to use?

Not sure, I think Ubuntu 13.04 left some things out. I found other instructions online for compiling it from git and that worked flawlessly. 16 hours in and bfgminer's still going strong!

@Luke_jr I had to uninstall the ppa and compile it from source, but it works great. Now I just need my jalapeno to get here. I'm sending a donation your way. Thanks for the great work you've done!

What was the problem with the PPA?
