Could the issue be related to cgminer not supporting cpu mining anymore (I believe guiminer is a front end for cgminer)?  I think it would be easiest to run it the same way tmu does, using pooler to mine with the cpu instead.












Wow, it seams to works now, TNX! But I think I have a small problem.

I've found http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpuminer/files/ on Google and downloaded http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpuminer/files/pooler-cpuminer-2.3.2-win64.zip/download

Then I've created START.bat (c:\Users\Ivan\Downloads\pooler-cpuminer-2.3.2-win64\START.bat) with this content:


minerd -o stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3334 -O MyWorker2:MyPass2


I've start BAT file and IT WORKS Cheesy. My i7 950 CPU is at 100% (all 8 cores (4+4)) and speed is 3,5-4,5 kH/s per core (avarage total=40 kH/s)

But the problem is that cgminer.exe (GPU mining) starts to throttle/have disconnections Cheesy. And current GPU speed is 100 kH/s (it was 130-150-170 kH/s).

I guess minerd.exe suffocate cgminer.exe? Altough, I can normally work in Windows even CPU is always on 100%.


Can I somehow little limit minerd.exe with some parameters in BAT file? Or change priority/affinity in Windows Task Manager?
