I've got this same problem, but my topic got deleted.

mined with a 5970 for a few weeks, remembered I had a 5850! added that in the mix, now no matter what options I specify, cgminer stops @ "Started cgminer 2.11.4". Ends up chewing all my ram until I BSOD

1kw psu, amd 6-core proc, 16gb ram, on win7 64

Flashing the BIOS seems to have fixed it!

If anyone else has an ASUS P6T mobo and has this issue, save yourself time/headache and flash your bios!

Well assuming this is purely a mining rig, your cheap processor and RAM shouldnt be the problem.

Must be a issue with the motherboard not being able to handle the 3 GPU's well, what motherboard are you using n your rig.

The machine also runs slow while it's on, not just boot.

And I'll say that I have tried every combination of two of the three cards and it runs great, while adding a third card runs very poorly.

Maybe you are experiencing some sort of bottle necking to your system and causing it to lag during boot up.

Would have loved to drop this in a more appropriate forum.. but here we go

I've been mining over the past week with 2x7950s, and while I was doing that I ordered two more 7950s.

Here's the problem: After adding a third 7950 to the system my computer boots and runs incredibly slow. ( Boot times went from ~15s to multiple minutes )
Now, I seem to be able to mine just fine once it finally starts up but it's mostly unusable.

Any one experience anything like that? Any suggestions?

My PCI-E slots are 16x16x1, my PSU is 1300w, the CPU is beefy, there is 6gb of ram in the system.
