************ccminer for nvidia GPUs by djm34************
then the usual stuff and donation address.
then
ccminer.exe: Heavycoin hash requires block reward vote parameter (see --vote)

will try and figure out how to do what you're requesting above,.

can you put here exactly what there is in your bat, when it exits with this kind of message it means, it didn't recognize the algo you entered (picking up the default heavycoin)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/v9d54b9movp6axc/Screenshot%202014-10-15%2017.04.56.png?dl=0

bat file:
@echo off
ccminer.exe
pause

And where do you tell to ccminer where to mine and what to mine in your bat ?
line should be like this: ccminer.exe -r 3 -R 5 --algo=x11 -o stratum+tcp://eu.wafflepool.com:3331 -u yourlogin -p yourPassword

yes, ccminer cannot be run without any argument. You (or miner control I assume) need to append the argument so it knows what to do...
I hope you'll figure out rapidly how to copy and paste the line I (or Zels) gave you so we can move on... but my guess would be a problem related to miner control (or the operator Wink

)

operator error it is. I'm a newb, so figures.
New problem. So I built the .bat correctly as per y'all instructions, hash rate between 1700 and 2100. After about 6 messages my whole system crashes. And I'm not saying it shutdown or rebooted. It crashed, I had to use system restore to get it back.
symptom: Computer bios boot runs, windows starts loading then goes to a kind of dark purple screen. Hard drive seems to think it's done. SO it sounds like something with the video card.
Any idea's what I need to modify to keep it from kaboom? vid = GTX 760 with 4G ram.

That does sound like it may be overheating. Use MSI Afteburner (or something similar, like GPU-Z) to monitor the heat and overall system health. Even without overclocking, heat can be a big issue if your system isn't properly ventilated or cooled, because mining stresses your GPU to the limit (it's like running a burn-in test constantly, 24/7). If it turns out your GPU is getting really hot (anything above 80 degrees C is not recommended), then you can do two things (doing both is a good idea): first, use MSI AB to set a "thermal limit". This will tell the GPU to automatically throttle back, if needed, to keep itself under the temp limit you set. Second, add more system fans, or replace old/worn ones. You can also rearrange things as needed, to give your system more "breathing room". Some people with dedicated mining rigs don't even use a case, and have their GPUs very open to the air, for maximum ventilation/cooling. If you use your system for anything other than mining, this is usually not very practical. Tongue

lol But in any case, do try to maximize the amount of air your system gets, to keep it cool.

I've got the latest version of precision on there. Went in and changed the priority to temp and set it to 80 degrees, will see if that fixes it. I have a fairly open case, the top has a 240 fan (I think it is) and the rest of the top is a steel screen, strong enough to support my cat but with plenty of spaces to let heat rise. And yes, I just recently blew out all the dust from all the nooks and crannies. A 120 fan on the side, front and rear of the case.
This is actually my experiment to see if I want to put together a seperate mining machine. If I build a dedicated mining machine I've seen people suggest building it in a pair of old milk crates.
