Not really, without seeing/knowing your whole set-up. Does it boot up with all 4 GPU cards installed?
If it does and you are in linux did you look into the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see if they all getting the drivers loaded ... etc, etc.
At a lower level
$lspci
will tell you what hardware is being recognised on the bus. Probably not a bug related to the miner s.ware so maybe somewhere else is better for this kind of system debugging.
Sounds like you need some technical advice and bitcoins. I'm sure if you put up a "Wanted To Buy" on the Market[lace you'll get urgent help if paying in BTC.
I suppose i could since its costing not to get this working
the rig works fine with 3 GPUs
none of the GPU miners work when I install card #4...ideas?

I have an urgent problem need help with
4x6870s installed into mobo, dummy plugged 3 of them so that I get 4 GPU recognized in win 7 64bit
if i launch poclbm or guiminer the programs close instantly.. same with batch scripting, nothing launches correctly
what do i need to provide to help fix this

Teknohog, could you please try with Stream 2.1. I can't see why 'vectors' would give invalid results.
With SDK 2.1, the miner does not even compile with vectors
Code:
/tmp/OCLQa31hL.cl(128): error: mixed vector-scalar operation not allowed
unless up-convertable(scalar-type=>vector-element-type)
sharound(E,F,G,H,A,B,C,D,R(36),0x650A7354);
But it gets stranger. After reinstalling 2.2, I am getting accepted results with vectors, using the latest version of poclbm. So this looks like an error in my system, and poclbm is fine
(Possible sources of error: overheated GPU, which is now cooler after the SDK changes; pyopencl, which is the only component I have to manually compile and install with every SDK change.)
I'm encountering this same issue (python 2.6.6 on Ubunu 10.10 with SDK 2.1 and the latest pyopencl (as of this writing)...I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling pyopencl...nothing seems to work. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem and solved it.
When I put -f to 2000, my whole pc crashed. Wondering why?
Wanted to test how low I could get the gpu usage while idle. With -f 1000 I got 70%.

What ought to be the problem? when i run this script it says thatdevice could not bee found. I use ati radeon HD 4850
I just got this error while it was mining:

actually with the latest m0mchill release i'm back using it again
... got some on phoenix also ... racing! ... the competition is great.(hashkill looks like a bit of dark horse, but has a good pedigree on hash track course, so keep an eye on that one)
m0mchill,
just sent you a donation for all the sterling work that your miner has done for me .... moved over to phoenix now but your efforts were appreciated.
cheers,
moa
m0mchil, I've been using your miner for months now with no issues, but the latest version seems to be causing me an issue:

I solved this myself, It was a permissions/folder attributes issue. I don't know exactly what the correct permissions are, but an xcopy /O /K of the previous version's folder; subsequently updated with the contents of the new version; works fine.

I know this is a tired subject, but I'm another victim of the "100% CPU" problem. Though everyone else seemed to have it with AMD cards, and I have an nVidia 9500 running on amd64 Linux.
It is actually using the GPU since it goes up to 5.5 Mhps (my CPUs only go up to 2 Mhps on their own, also I was running minerd at the same time on those CPUs), but still uses a large chunk of my CPU (1 whole CPU), so it's not that I have somehow selected the CPU driver.
I've tried playing with some of the settings, turning off vectors only made it worse (it ate 1 CPU and a bit of another), changing the value of frames to 0 or 30 had no difference.
I have tried running it without minerd hogging the CPUs but that made no difference…
If I get this to work I'll be able to pull off over 13 Mhps (4×2Mhps + 5.5 Mhps - rounding), but if the script itself takes up a whole CPU the minerd's performance halves, so I get hardly 9-10 Mhps.
Oh, and hi!, BTW ;-)

Holy crap, I haven't updated in a whole month!
How can you tell what version you are running?
Also, how come in cmd, I'm getting about 320Mhash/s (I have 2 cores), but in deeptbit, the average is only 400Mhash/s.

@m0mchil Thank you for the recent update to your miner! It added 30 Mh/s to my miner. How sweet that is!
EDIT: Nevermind, I just git cloned the repo instead of downloading stuff manually as this outdated guide suggests (maybe it should be updated). Everything is working.
I can confirm I'm getting greatly increased speeds.
On my XFX 5870's I went from ~330MHash to ~365MHash, each card, with no noticeable increase in temperature.
