Can this problem solved?

Smartcoin believes the GPU is mining even though it submitted shares a long time ago & temperature is in 60C(idle or less) range than other cards.
The total hash rate displaying is 2580+, which i get usually.

Hey dishwara,

what distro are you using? And which mainboard? I recently sticked the 5th card into my system (ubuntu 11.04 headless on MSI 890FXA-GD70) and since then it's like using a 386 DX2  Sad

A really laggy, sometimes not even responding system.
I am using Ubuntu 11.04 classic(thats what i selected in auto login). MSI big bang marshal. some times some mother boards won't work with 1x extenders. For some slots, particularly 8x slot you may need 16x extender cable.
For my mother board, i can't use 1x extender on pcie_3 & pcie_7, both needs 16x extenders as the slot itself works in 8x mode when other slots filled with cards. Due to limitation of PSU, i am running 4* 6970 & 2 *5870 on this mother board.
