Topic: poclbm mining problems with 6950 (Read 15886 times)
for me now it works with MPC !
11.7 stopped lock ups when running hardware accelerated flash video on my system. Hurray for 11.7!
edit: spoke too soon... just had a freezeup when launching a youtube with hardware accelerated on... so it appears that it fixes it randomly?

11.7 is out and im bout to give it a try
any update to this problem?
i tried pheonix via guiminer, but it was too much slower for me so i didnt bother testing it for stability, id rather wait.
try to set max priority for your miner.
Use MSI AB for oveclocking.

I have the problem with catalyst 11.6 drivers and youtube while mining with my radeon 5870... it downclocks my card to 400Mhz.. then I close the youtube tab in firefox 5 then the gpu clock goes up to normal again.
try phoenix + phatk
Had 6950 with no problems while mining and playing video from youtube.
Used these flags:
-k phatk DEVICE=0 VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false WORKSIZE=256 AGGRESSION=13

i spoke too soon, mine is still crashing even at low clock rate. have to wait for driver upgrade
Had the crashes too when I switched from 6850 to 6970.
Since the 6970 (ref-card) was louder than a jet-engine I sent it back.
No problems with the 6850.

Hopefully we will see this resolved soon

it seems ok now im running 870 instead of 895mhz
i already run -f60 but do oc but under 900 , i may try at a lower rate to test that though. for me there is no other option, watch video or mine which is annoying, especially when forget to stop mining when clicking a youtube video in facebook and it locks the pc up.
I have 6 6950's. only time they lock up is if I overclock them above 900. but then again I dont try and watch video or utube with the miner.......
why in the world would you try and use something that is already at 99% mining.
anyway, how about using the -f flag to only use x% of the gpu, would that give enough for the video?
im having same problem, and disabling hardware acceleration doesnt help
wish i had known about this issue before....just picked up a 6950 and i'm having the same issues here :/
11.6 - Still not fixed.
But it works with disabling HW acceleration in flash and Firefox...

Same problem here - 6950 and 11.5 Catalyst.
I sent a support ticket request to AMD in regards to this, I suggest you all do the same.

Same issue, I can't reply on the AMD site either.
