I tried cgminer on a couple of my boxes last night and woke up to find 3/4 GPU marked as DEAD on one and 2/4 DEAD on another. Trying to restart the DEAD GPU doesnt seem to do anything on either machine (restarting the ones still running did seem to restart them OK). Both boxes have been running for weeks using poclbm without errors. Running the 1.5.3 binary on Ubuntu (3xHD5870 and HD6310).

Anyone else seeing problems with DEAD GPU that won't recover unless cgminer is restarted?

BB.

Restart dead GPUs does not work for me too. Win7 64bit, Catalyst 11.7
Me too. LinuxCoin beta final

In my testing, under Fedora14, SDK2.4, restart GPU works in 100% of my 5xxx series cards, and 0% of my 6xxx series cards.

restart GPU works even if the GPU is hung due to things like overheat-lockup?  Shocked

I simply have a monitoring script that checks for serious lockups and coldreboots the rig if it is triggered, not pretty, but all GPU are at least up and mining again within a minute.
Will probably add that corespeed controlled by temperature levels script(it down clocks the core if temperature gets too high) I saw in some thread on the forum a few days ago.

Summertime is a bitch when it comes to mining   Cool
