So none of the disabling crossfire options are working because i cant see the second card in my miner when i do that. am i missing some option in the miner that will allow me to see the second card when Crossfire is turned off? i Have a second monitor plugged into it and everything. anything else i need to do?
I had this problem using poclbm on one of my 5850s, would run for a while and then crash, and then i'd reboot the whole machine. This got old really quick and I searched for a way to get past these errors. sure a script could be written to solve it sure. But I switched to Phoenix 1.50 and using the phatk kernels the problem has gone away, the error handling in phoenix seemed better than poclbm. Where as a verification failed halted the miner, phoenix will automatically reissue new work and keep mining away so even if I get ahardware verification failed which in phoenix is something like opencl internel error or something of that nature. Try using phoenix and see if that doesn't solve your problems of constantly having to restart the card. I was also running 3 cards in once case when this started to occur.
