Had the same problem, even with fresh install of Windows.  Fresh install, installed 12.8 drivers, crash.  Another fresh install, 13.4 drivers, crash.  Another fresh install, 12.8 drivers, SDK, crash.  Roll Eyes

Seems GPU mining is ignored now, developer is like a bitch in heat over USB mining bollocks.

Gave up with not getting any answers on here, tried latest BFGMiner with 13.4 and it's working no problems.    
Thanks.

Plenty of people apart from myself have pointed out the issue, and you can see in the thread it's totally ignored.  Then someone asks about some jippy USB thing and there's an instant response.

How about actually looking at the issue with GPU mining?  The issue where cgminer just crashes instantly on run.  Or crashes once it's compiled the .bin files.  Or the issue where it just gives up mining and sits there farting about at 20kH/s for no reason.

I've asked plenty of times.  Tell us exactly what we need to install.  What SDK version?  What Catalyst version?  Any other dependencies?  What is cgminer expecting on Windows?

As I said, I've got 3 identical in every way machines.  I install Windows off the same USB stick, install the same updates off my WSUS server, install the same drivers off a network share, extract the same .zip of cgminer, copy in the same .config file, and 1 out of the 3 machines will actually mine.  Then it's another crapshoot if I decide to change hardware.  A machine running perfectly will suddenly stop working if I add another card, and even stripping off cgminer in total and reinstalling it will leave the machine unable to mine.  Then it's a 50/50 chance it'll mine after a reinstall.

There's too much of a crapshoot in getting cgminer working now.  Old 2.11.x just worked.  Now 3.x is impossible.
