I see however, the problem rather be the CGminer itself, because it deregulates the stick for wathever reasons

'wathever reasons' is the problem.

Often as simple as a power source issue.

Hello Kano,

Thank you for your reply. Smiley

I've got a gekko usb hub with 120W PS and a fan running beside this miner. The power consumption of these can't be more than 5V/3A=15W + 5V/2,5A=12W, Sum: 27W, which is covered with the 120W PS abundandtly.

If I run two other miners + the fan there are no problems. They are running rock solid so the PS can't be a problem.

If I put this problematic miner in usb-port-pair with the others, it kicks the others out and they restarts automatically in about every 2-3 minutes.
If I run it beside them - not in a port-pair -, the two are running stable and this one is restarting with a reduced T until it gets to a point where the T is in the (-) minus range... Than it kicks the others out as well and they stop working.

I'm starting cgminer with the following line:

--gekko-compacf-freq 420 --gekko-start-freq 350 --gekko-mine2 --gekko-tune2 85

Now I lost nerves playing around with them days long without any success and let the 2 unproblematic without the other one running.  Roll Eyes
