What are your settings and what miner program are you using? They might need to be tweaked....you should be getting alot more .
Setttings? Yeah I dont have any. Having trouble understanding most. I do know that im not overclocked and i will not overclock cause my computer acts really stupid, such as artifacts on DESKTOP (not game) already when mining, and if I try to OC my display drivers go awful and i have to reboot........ Odd thing, this computer was made within a year ago, with ALL new parts, and my old PC had mouse artifacts sometimes, and I figured it would be finally gone. Made new pc, all new parts, all new HD... and STILL i get them. Crazy shit. Shit i dont want to even think about cause it really pushes my buttons

Im using BitMinter at the moment, cause it will start, and continue to go forever. Vs GUIMiner, where it would go, and stop 15 miniutes later. Ive tried several other clients, with no luck getting it to work... Such at python, and uhm.. that autoit python gui.
What settings are you referring too? The -w flags and such?
Edit>> Oh yeah, cant forget the times guiminer goes down to 400 khps, INSTEAD of completely stopping.
