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...

Mining since May 2011.

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?

i got 1400 HW errors in 7 hours of mining, is that ok ?
Seems high, but I don't know your setup or how your binary of BFGMiner was built.

Thanks for adding the Raring ppa! I got it downloaded once I got libudev0 installed. In case anyone else runs into it(libudev0 is missing in ubuntu 13.04), download from the web, install it(right click and add to software center), then you can install bfgminer(also from the software center!)

My next question is: Do I need to install the intel SDK again for opencl or is it handled in the ppa?

i get tons of HW on my 5 ztex boards  Huh
New with version 3.0.2? What version did you not have them with?
im running 3.0.2
That doesn't answer my question at all. What version did not have the "tons" of hw errors?
oh, its first time im testing it out .. so ..
Can you elaborate a bit more on what you consider "tons" of hw errors?
ZTEX (and most FPGAs) are designed to have some amount of hw errors (usually 1-2%, at difficulty 1) in normal operation.

i got 1400 HW errors in 7 hours of mining, is that ok ?

n_p....your trying to cpu mine litecoin...... HuhHuh

Baby steps. Smiley First I get cpu mining working, then I get gpu mining working with my (non-opitmal) nvidia card, then I get better equipment.

I was pretty sure default build for bfgminer has no cpu mining support, you'd have to recompile it....could be wrong, but cpu mining isnt done much these days

It is enabled by default in Gentoo. Smiley

Code:
$ grep IUSE /usr/portage/local/layman/bitcoin/net-misc/bfgminer/bfgminer-3.0.1.ebuild 
IUSE="+adl altivec avalon bitforce +cpumining examples hardened icarus modminer ncurses +opencl padlock scrypt sse2 sse2_4way sse4 +udev x6500 ztex"

Yes, that's correct; cpumining is disabled by default. You'd have to pass --enable-cpumining to ./configure before make`ing your own build.

Sorry, I don't understand what is going on (I just escaped from the newbies section), but I know this is not good (all of my shares are getting rejected):

This is my first attempt at mining, and I can see I am not going to do well at this rate. Smiley Do you have any idea what is happening? Thank you in advance for your help.

Might as well add this here (a slightly different error):
