My configuration is
CoolerMaster 600W Silent pro Gold and Asrock 890GX Extreme4
The weird thing is that the working 5870 works also alone, the defective one doesnt work alone.
I'll try different videogames now, if that card will not have any problem I'll just sell it to gamers on ebay! (and buy another one!)
Topic: Problem with 5870, crash when I open a miner (Read 1701 times)
Give poclbm a try in gui miner I have a 5870 that had a fit with phoenix but has been non stop for weeks with poclbm
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my rig, with a 5870 graphic card,
this card had this problem since i bought it, but I never cared because I never needed to restart the rig often.
Now I'm away from home and a crash of the rig can cause me hours to restart it.
This card (Sapphire 5870) make the driver to crash,
everytime I open a miner I receive this error "display driver stopped responding and has recovered"
and the miner remain stopped (shows 0MH/s)
To make this card to mine I need to start the miner a few times (usually around 6-7)
make the driver crash all those times and one time is the lucky one, when the card starts to mine!
After the card starts to mine it will be mining forever without any problems...until next reboot.
I tried differents over/underclocks but nothing.
I have latest drivers (with the previous instead of showing this error it showed BSOD)
With my other 5870 everything works fine, tried to swap cards, use just one..etc but nothing, always this problem.
Any idea? What can be the problem?

What is your setup (H/W and S/W). I bought a 5970 off ebay few weeks ago, kept doing the same thing every time starting phoenix it would crash in windows and linuxcoin. Got fed up moved the card to a different motherboard and it works perfectly fine. Apparently that one board which already had 2x5850's & 1x5970 just didn't like him joining their crew, I have a 1200w PSU Antec so I know it could handle the power load.
Either way if you can test it on another motherboard that would confirm your suspicion, hopefully its not busted RMA'ing cards takes forever...
Already did It. I usually start the miner with normal clock and down mem and high clock after the miner is started.
With normal clock it crashes anyway, just tried with 700MHz (def clock 850) and crashes too

Lower your overclock.
I use phoenix with -k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT WORKSIZE=256 AGGRESSION=13 FASTLOOPS=false
with my other 5870 works fine
(and works so good also with the problematic one, when it starts!!)
I used also Diablo with -v 2 -w 128 and Guiminer

What miner do you use with what flags? Have you tried others?
tried also with linux ubuntu. same problems, so the OS is not the problem and neither the driver.
Also when i have to restart my rig it's annoying to open a miner, wait it to crash, close it, open it again...for like 6 times!
I don't think the card is not defective because to play videogames is good!
Or maybe I should sell it to gamers and buy a new one!

If you have tried it at standard clocks as well as different drivers I'm owning towards a bad card. You can try reinstalling windows or give it a go with linux coin. You if you want to put up with it can try restarting it remotely but it needs to be responsive(not totally locked up) for that to work.
