If anyone can get this working with Nicehash miner I'll give you .05 BTC.

Already sent you a pm a while ago :p Willing to help you and i don't need btc. No worries!

It'd rather not do it using a virtual desktop. With it blue screening it would be a pain anyway.

The blue screen definitely has something to do with the auto switching portion and not sgminer itself.  It only blues screens when I run the runme.bat or when I try to benchmark or mine using nicehashminer.exe.

If I run sgminer using my own bat file it doesn't crash but it goes to a black CMD window after showing version info.

The nicehash site shows a miner connected but 0 accepted 0 rejected.

The log file of sgminer show it starting up but not doing anything.

BFGminer does run but I never get any accepted but it does show info and not just a black window after version info.

So I might have 2 problems. 1) Nicehash miner Blue screens. 2) SGminer doesn't display anything after the version info but also doesn't mine.

I have the latest ATI drivers installed but I have tried to install 15.7.1.

I installed the latest APP SDK.

I've tried older versions of SGminer.

I'm not sure what else to try. Maybe if I can get it even working with another miner program so I at least know its working correctly. My problem is I have no idea of what switches to put in the bat files. I know the card works good because I've tried playing ARK Survival and Skyrim.
