I updated cgminer from version 2.3.1 to 2.3.2 on a few of my windows 7 machines recently, and let it run for over 8 days straight (which is around when ADL normally fails). Now instead of just ADL failing, cgminer completly stops hashing and refuses to respond to any keyboard input, but the API still works.
It's true. So I just restart cgminer every seven days, usually on saturdays lol
