Windows 7 64 Bit. I was looking a bit and I think the problem is that if the CPU/GPU get at a certain temperature, it decreases the amount of work in order to help them cool down. However, for BTC Guild, it shows it as running but I'm not getting an shares. My mh/s is slow, but I should still be getting some shares.

If you are going to take a crack at mining you really should get and learn to use cgminer.

I'm using pooler's CPU miner and it works well. I was looking at cgminer and am considering using it however it seems more complicated and I am not too knowledgeable about things like this. Maybe if I have an hour or two later on I'll get it but for now at least pooler's CPU miner is doing its job while GPU miner isn't:(.

I'm sorry to say, but this will be about as much help as your post:

What OS is installed? need to know that to help in the slightest.

Do you have any power saving features on your setup, that may cause something like that.

Well its a laptop, so I'm guessing it may. Do you have an suggestions on how to access them?

Hello guys,
I've been GPU mining using GPUMiner for BTC, and then CPU mining LTC and I can always get it started up and running, however, it always gets a lot less shares done during the night when I go away, and seems to slow down a lot. Does anyone know what could be happening that causes this?
