I was curious if anyone could give me a heads up on this. I have a rig that was mining on middlecoin for the past couple days and when i woke this morning the pc was frozen.  Shocked    This isn't typical so I restarted it and hooked back up to middlecoin and it happened again. The next time I restared I hooked up to a different pool and it hasn't frozen, is there possibly something going on with the pool to cause this? It freaked me out a bit.

Sounds like a heat, hardware or driver issue.  Highly doubt it has to do with the pool you are using

Definitely not heat, and I don't believe it's hardware or driver. It's the pool that was causing it. As soon as I switched pool, the issue was gone.

Temps never got above 77°.

Anyways, I moved the rig back to middlecoin and it seems fine now. Glad H2o got it back up, thanks buddy!  Cheesy
How should the pool be the reason for it? The pool doesnt change the way calculations are done at your end (besides different starting values and targets that are beings hashed of course ...)
Was the rig really frozen or just cgminer unresponsive ? I can imagine that maybe some connection issues caused cgminer to halt (which might have apperaed to you as a frozen rig)

just my 2 satoshis ...
