What are you trying to mine? Using what? I used to use guiminer a long time ago to GPU mine scrypt. But thats pointless now.

I'd recommend setting up the latest cgminer if you're setting up ASIC or sgminer if you're going to be mining with GPUs. Give me more info.

Were you actually able to mine before you shut down?
