Temporarily I created an app to auto-close any ccminer*.exe dialog window pop-ups, then the batchfile continues to auto-restarts the mining.

Last night it crashes twice for about 5hrs difference.

But too bad I can't do anything about the GPU idles (SICK?).

When a card goes idle or errors out for me usually just restarting the miner will not bring the card back up to full speed (usually just 10Khash/s or something like that).

You can reset the cards from the command line (using the DevCon [Developers Console] command available at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311272) by disabling and enabling them again without restarting windows and it seems to always fix the problem for me.

first run 'DevCon find *' to list out all your hardware, and then find a unique part of the card ID to add to the command.

In my case '*dev_1380' identifies all my MSI 750 ti cards at once.

Quick and easy to add to your .bat loop.

devcon disable *dev_1380
devcon enable *dev_1380

Hope that helps!
Sound interesting.
Does it work with windows 8 ?

Have not tried it... I am on Win7 x64 for my mining rig, but I don't see why it wouldn't unless it is some obscure change. It is just a download .exe though you throw in your windows32 folder and run, so not hard at all for anyone to try it out.
There so many things on my computer, so if I can know if it runs before downloading it, it is always better.
And actually, it does not work.

Work for me. win 8.1 x64

750Ti -> *dev_1380
660Ti -> *dev_1183

ex.: devcon disable *dev_1380 (disable ALL 750Ti on your board)
