When I try to run cgminer it keeps crashing. My OS is Windows 7 64-bit.

Here is what I have in my BAT file:
Code:
color 0A
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u user -p pass --shaders 960 --intensity 13 --worksize 128 -g 1
pool:btcguild
Ok I fixed the crashing problem but now I have this issue:

Don't. CPU mining will get you two things these days: jack and squat. You will make a cent or two per month mining BTC with that CPU. Not a bitcent or two, a USD cent. If you're lucky.  Likewise, nVidia GPUs are not good for mining.

Mining puts stress on components, which increases heat inside the case, which adds yet more stress to the components.  Those slimline PCs are a bitch to keep cool even when you're not doing CPU or GPU intensive operations. I know, I've owned a couple.  Good little entry-level, general purpose PCs, good for browsing, Microsoft Office, watching movies, but not much else. They make an OK DLNP media streamer if you attach some USB hard drives to them.

if you want to use that box for mining, pre-order an ASIC device and run it off that PC. that's the only way that machine will generate any bitcoins for you.



What is an ASIC device? How much are they? Thanks.

CPU mining question

Hello I want to set up cpu mining on a HP Pavilion Slimline s3620f PC desktop. Is that possible? How can I do it, and what program can I use?

also I know GPU mining is better and I have another desktop that does gpu mining throughout the day, but I cannot leave that computer on during the night.

I plan to use this old hp desktop to mine during the night if possible. Maybe mine 24/7 if possible.

Here are the specs of the desktop:

OS: Windows 7 pro 64-bit
CPU: Intel Pentium E5200 @ 2.50GHz
RAM: 4 GB
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 7100 / NVIDIA nForce 630i (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM)
