follow the guide in my sig, maybe.

I'd love to, but seeing as I'm damn near broke you'll have to send me the money to do so first.

Mining error with 6870
by

So I had a stable working GPU mining setup with GUIminer using a HD 6870, dirver set was CCC 13.1, I made the fatal mistake of updating the driver to CCC 13.4, kept getting "verification failed check hardware" errors, tried rolling back to earlier drivers, kept getting same error, if the driver worked at all, got a lot of MMdriver.exe stopped working errors too.  Finally just system restored to about a week ago before all this happened.  No MMdriver.exe errors, and everything else seems to be working fine, but the GUIminer now returns this error after accepting a handful of shares:

2013-05-13 21:50:10: Running command: poclbm.exe DELETED:DELETED@pit.deepbit.net:8332 --device=0 --platform=0 --verbose -r1

2013-05-13 21:51:21: Listener for "Default": pit.deepbit.net:8332 13/05/2013 21:51:21, long poll IO error

Any idea how I can get it working again?  Something in the 13.4 driver update apparently screwed things up, but I've no idea where or what.  Any ideas?

Re: Updated driver & now GUIminer returns verification failed check hardware

Tried a system restore to the other week when everything was working smoothly.  Same result as above, mines for a few shares then terminates with a long pole IO error.  So apparently there still some garbage from the update to CCC 13.4 still sitting around somewhere screwing things up.  Anyone know what all I'd have to do to totally clean out all the ATI driver files? 

So question for power users who really know their s***: I thought of searching for: *amd*.dll, *amd*.exe, *ati*.dll, *ati*.exe, *opengl*.dll, *opengl*.exe and deleting everything that shows up, would that work?  (my CPU is Intel so there are no other AMD devices aside from the GPU)  If not what all would I have to do to get rid of all ATI drivers & references to that may be screwing things up?

I would recommend sticking with the old versions of ATI drivers. Also, if you are mining 24/7 with a dedicated machine, you should probably use cgminer vs. GuiMiner as cgminer is much more stable.

I'm not mining 24/7 and I use the comp for other things so I went with GUIminer for ease of use.  So with cgminer you have to compile it yourself, there's no already compiled DL available or anything?

Update: I successfully installed CCC 11.12 & SDK 2.6, apparently what did the trick was manually deleting some of the dll files as suggested in this thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177855.0

So now the old drivers I installed are now more or less working properly (it still gave me an MMdriver stopped working error).  Fired up GUIminer and it started mining (at 30mhash/s less than it was before all this) but after 43 shares it fails, and the console reads this now:

2013-05-12 23:11:32: Running command: poclbm.exe DELETED:DELETED@pit.deepbit.net:8332 --device=0 --platform=0 --verbose -r1

2013-05-12 23:31:33: Listener for "Default": pit.deepbit.net:8332 12/05/2013 23:31:33, IO errors - 1, tolerance 2
2013-05-12 23:31:33: Listener for "Default": pit.deepbit.net:8332 12/05/2013 23:31:33, long poll IO error

Anyone have any ideas now?  Maybe there's more dll files from the latest driver/CCC package that I need to manually delete?

Maybe I need to go nuclear on the ATI driver files and manually delete them all?  Like in this thread:

Are any of these ASIC miners actually out yet or is it all just empty promises and review models sent out to media outlets to pump they hype?

Re: ATI drivers sucks

NVidia is about 5-10 times slower than price corresponding ATI graphics card

One reason why I always went ATI.  But I've had it with their godawful drivers.  By the time I need a new card crypto-currency GPU mining will be all but pointless, it'll be single purpose specialized hardware (ASIC, etc) or don't even bother, so I'm not concerned about that aspect.

Nothing now thanks to @#%$@%$ ATI's @#%@@%##@ POS drivers screwing up everything.  Miner doesn't even work now when I try to rollback the driver version to the one I had that used to work. $#@@#$%$$%%&#ETW#^%Q@$#Q

Oh also, I tried doing this:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177855.0

And the 11.11 driver gave me hell: MMdriver.exe stopped working error, CCC crashed, & the display colors went bananas alternating between a mostly black display and a checkered red pattern.  Somehow managed to find the uninstall even with the messed up display colors and got it back to the latest driver which at least works (just not for mining)  @#%#$% ATI & their godawful drivers.

Anyone have any idea what is going on?

Yeah they're a bunch of cons.  Nothing about their operation makes sense if you assume its legit.  The other day I looked on ebay and found a bunch of sellers hawking their preorders for x2 to x3 what BFL charges, lol.  The great cycle of scam continues.
