Hi,
i've been arount these forums lurking for a while just never registered/posted anything. This is what happened to me and was wondering if anyone had a similar experience or know which would cause this - bad mobo or bad PSU. Motherboard is Asrock 970 Extreme 4 and the psu is Corsair HX 1050W. It was running 5*7870 and power consumption measured at the socket was 960-980W and 4-5A current. It was running fine for about 2 months untill yesterday I only noticed because my miners went offline, but the fans on GPU's kept running and the PSU still turns on.

anyone use GUIMiner with the new block erupter?

i reduced intensity to 10 but still had same issue. I am at loss about this...

hi, everytime i try to litecoin mine with cgminer (GPU mining for litecoin) i get following error in cgminer.exe. i have tried cleaning my ati drivers and then reinstalling again 13.4 driver but still get same error, short of reinstalling my OS. Help please.

I just want to say HI and want to ask for some help with building my mining Rig

My Setup for beginning:

ASRock MB-970EX4 w/ cheap AMD CPU
A bit of Ram like 4 or 8Gigabyte
2x or 3x ATI 7770 or something else.


Could someone say me if this would be profitable?


Cheers!

Just started on BTC Guild, and have a question.

How do you accept a share? Is there any notification when you get one? How do I do this?

Thanks,

Thanks for all you input. OK This is the last Newie question.

Are you running Windows 7 or something else. on your mining rigs.

Thanks,

so my next question is, is there a better AMD card than the 7950 for a beginner Like myself that can later be connected together.

I would assume I need to run the GPU stress test?

Sorry, I ment how much better is is over the 7950.

WHy should I stick with a 7950?? the GTX-680 seems better please explain?

Hi there, I know that this has probably been mentioned elsewhere on the forums, but I thought that I may as well create a topic asking about it while I delve in and sift through all of the information provided.

I'm currently using GUI miner and have connected to various different pools, but each one that I'm connected to will not generate any shares, most of the time it won't even create stale shares (It will sometimes create a stale share upon connecting to a pool, but at no other time) which is a little bit of a problem.

I'm currently using a AMD Radeon HD 6670 to mine with and get a pretty stable rate of 95 Mhash/s and after being connected to Slush's pool for about 8 hours last night it hasn't given me a single share. Now a friend of mine who began mining at the same time as me said she was connected to BTCMP and had roughly 200 shares with only 17 Mhash/s

The question I'm asking is are there any general sort of fixes for this problem, or if there aren't, what information should I provide to help fix it?

EDIT: There's also the large possibility that I'm just being far too impatient and if I am, just tell me! 

I jsu registered 2 days and I checked out some site to get free bitcoin but i still i have no idea how it works.
and what's with the mining thing?
how does it work?

So it started yesterday and since then I have had 3 or 4 BSOD with atikmpag.sys and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with it. It only seems to happen when my 7970 is mining if I just have my 2 7950s mining its fine. https://www.dropbox.com/s/7kwmb8xr76a57wq/20130610_104220.jpg. Could it be cause by over heating or not properly shutting down guiminer?

Without getting too far ahead of ourselves, I am curious what the next big move in mining hardware will be.  I had a few conversations with bitcoin enthusiasts at Bitcoin 2013, but no one had a clear answer.  My nascent thoughts lead me to believe that quantum computing may lead to faster mining.  Although the company D-Wave manufactures quantum computers, they are very expensive at the moment which will make it difficult to develop mining software for these uber machines.     

Thanks for the Answers till yet.

Yes i know some nVidias are not very profitable, but i mean it generally. if its a ATI or nVIDIA doesn't care

I was just wondering if there is a solution to put this Graphics external on a computer.....

Hi,

I'm wondering how i could use some of my older GTXs in a profitable way? Is there a chance to plug it extern to a Computer and mine with it? I got only 1 PCIE Slot on my Mobo.


Cheers

Well, my intensity was 19. It didnt change between the sudden issues it started causing.



And that's the answer I've been looking for everywhere! Thanks! I will switch that one miner to CGMiner and let the rest sit with Reaper.

How come in CGMiner it says:
"Connected to us.wemineltc.com diff 128"
But then below it...
"Diff: 41.8M"

It seems to be completing shares of difficulty 128. But it takes 10-60 seconds each. Reaper on the same difficulty of shares submits every 1-5 seconds? Something is defiantly wrong still



Edit: On a side note, running CGMiner 3.10, as lots of the mining hardware comparisons suggest, all I get is hardware errors. I have been running 2.11~, as also suggested and this is where It has actually been working a bit

I have added GUIMiner to my firewall, the only thing I haven't done is the latest driver from nVidia, not sure why it's looking for a java app?

i got about 2400 shares now and my ballence is now 0.00186213 BTC

should i switch pools to a better one? I was using slush's but everytime i try to connect it has problems
