BFGminer seems to be more informative as to what's going on. This is after a short time period but it keeps doing the same thing.

bfgminer --scrypt --thread-concurrency 10752 -g 2 -I 20 -w 256




I tested one of these cards on a different pc and I get the same issue. There must be something in my config or drivers. I just installed 13.4 ccc on the new pc I tested. They were running 11.11 previously.

"auto-gpu" : true,
"auto-fan" : true,
"gpu-engine" : "900-1040,900-1040",
"gpu-fan" : "65-85,65-85",
"gpu-memclock" : "1450,1450",
"gpu-vddc" : "1.060,1.060",
"temp-target" : "70,70",
"temp-cutoff" : "80,80",
"temp-overheat" : "75,75",

"algo" : "c",
"api-port" : "4028",
"expiry" : "120",
"gpu-threads" : "4",
"log" : "5",
"queue" : "1",
"retry-pause" : "5",
"scan-time" : "60",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",



"donation" : "0.00",
"shares" : "0",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"
}



I'm not familiar with BFGMINER settings, but looks more or less the same than cgminer conf.
If I get it right with the config from above EACH GPU will use 4 threads. Shouldn't it be "gpu-threads" : "2,2" for each GPU to use 2 threads?
What does algo: c mean?
you can also try to use only one thread, in this case you can double the thread-concurrency.

I've been messing with the settings all day, I forgot to switch that back. I normally just have 1 or 2.  Don't think it needs to be 2,2
