I finally got it to hash something, looks like its going to be a painful experience of rebooting/restarting over and over until it starts properly when i want to change pools or something, but it finally hashed. I referenced my PSU handbook and realized the stupid mistake I had made. I was unknowingly running the Launcher off a single rail on the PSU. It has 4 VGA 8 pin connections, 1+2 is a rail, and 3+4 is a rail. I was trying to run off 1 and 2, trying off 1 and 3 is working now. Amazing, I knew I had to have made a stupid mistake somewhere.
Yes, I had that problem too with the error mentioned. This miner seems to need to time to 'warm up" each time you switch a pool. After that it goes just fine.
