Just choose a folder, doesn't really matter for now. We just want to get your card mining.

I remember me having that same BSOD atimkdag.

But that wasn't while starting up sgminer or so. I got it at random.

I believe i had to remove all the drivers, reinstall them all before installing any remote administrative software. Like Teamviewer or vnc.

Because my issue was i first installed vnc and tv and than i installed the drivers. That constantly gave me issues.


Install Afterburner as well if you haven't already..

Thanks for helping me out with this.

I uninstalled Teamviewer and the amd drivers, rebooted, disabled avast, reinstalled latest amd drivers and installed MSI Afterburner. Then I ran the runme.bat located in the sgminer-5-2-1-general folder and it did the same thing. It shows some info, pauses for a countdown, shows some version info then BSOD.

Sorry this is being so difficult.

Does the "Tonga" have anything to do with it? I see files in the SGminer folder like "darkcoin-modHawaiigw64l4ku0.bin" but none that have Tonga in them. Like darkcoin-modTonagw64l4ku0.bin for example. Just guessing. This is the first AMD card I've ever had.

Edit: I also tried downgrading the driver to version 15.7.1 using the device manager and trying to manually install them but for some reason it says that version 15.200.1062.1004 were installed. I tried it anyway and it still blue screened.

Oh yeah i forgot to mention.

Rename the darkcoin-modHawaii to darkcoin-modTonga and it'll work fine Smiley
