Title: Can't seem to get ATI R9 380 to start mining. Post by: Tmerlo on December 24, 2015, 07:39:17 AM So.. I just got an ATI R9 380 and I can't seem to get it mining. I tried SGminer and that nicehash miner thing. Nicehash miner doesn't even see my card and SGminer just goes to a black screen and does nothing.
I have all the latest drivers installed and I tried installing the OpenCL SDK (I think it was called APP SDK), one of my many searches on the web came up with this as a possible cause. If anyone is up to the challenge of helping me out that would be great. Title: Re: Can't seem to get ATI R9 380 to start mining. Post by: ldw-com on December 24, 2015, 08:30:53 AM Try to delete these 2 files: in the sgminer folders (nicehash miner)
amd_opencl32.dll amdocl.dll it should detect them. Title: Re: Can't seem to get ATI R9 380 to start mining.

I can now see the card on nicehash miner. But now when I try to benchmark I get a BSOD and a frowny face :( (gotta love windows 10). The error says SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (atikmdag.sys).

Go inside the bin folder and start sgminer manually without the nice hash app (runme.bat or something). See if that works Title: Re: Can't seem to get ATI R9 380 to start mining.

I tried the runme.bat located in the sgminer-5-2-1-general folder and it did the same thing. BSOD atikmdag.sys just after it showed version info. I don't know if this helps any but I did sgminer.exe -n and got this: Code: [00:04:08] CL Platform vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Title: Re: Can't seem to get ATI R9 380 to start mining. Post by: Eliovp on December 25, 2015, 08:45:16 AM Just choose a folder, doesn't really matter for now. We just want to get your card mining.
I remember me having that same BSOD atimkdag. But that wasn't while starting up sgminer or so. I got it at random. I believe i had to remove all the drivers, reinstall them all before installing any remote administrative software. Like Teamviewer or vnc. Because my issue was i first installed vnc and tv and than i installed the drivers. That constantly gave me issues. Install Afterburner as well if you haven't already..

Because my issue was i first installed vnc and tv and than i installed the drivers. That constantly gave me issues. Install Afterburner as well if you haven't already.. Thanks for helping me out with this. I uninstalled Teamviewer and the amd drivers, rebooted, disabled avast, reinstalled latest amd drivers and installed MSI Afterburner. Then I ran the runme.bat located in the sgminer-5-2-1-general folder and it did the same thing. It shows some info, pauses for a countdown, shows some version info then BSOD. Sorry this is being so difficult. Does the "Tonga" have anything to do with it? I see files in the SGminer folder like "darkcoin-modHawaiigw64l4ku0.bin" but none that have Tonga in them. Like darkcoin-modTonagw64l4ku0.bin for example. Just guessing. This is the first AMD card I've ever had. Edit: I also tried downgrading the driver to version 15.7.1 using the device manager and trying to manually install them but for some reason it says that version 15.200.1062.1004 were installed. I tried it anyway and it still blue screened. Title: Re: Can't seem to get ATI R9 380 to start mining. Post by: theLosers106 on December 25, 2015, 04:58:57 PM There should be a file called log.txt in the Nicehash Miner folder.. why not you paste it here http://www.twitzer.com/ (http://www.twitzer.com/) and post the link.. there should be useful information in there.
Thanks. (: Title: Re: Can't seem to get ATI R9 380 to start mining. Post by: Eliovp on December 25, 2015, 08:07:00 PM Just choose a folder, doesn't really matter for now.

Make sure in the sgminer-fixed.conf file to have only one algo config in and running the batch file again. Just a thought. (: Title: Re: Can't seem to get ATI R9 380 to start mining.

In the mean time I tried an old version of sgminer, 4.1.0. I think it's called sph-sgminer_x13mod. It didn't blue screen but it also didn't seem to work. so I tried other versions of sgminer using just a command bat file all the way up to version 5.1.2. The thing is it isn't blue screening with any of them as long as I use a simple, custom bat file. But it also doesn't have any mining display, the CMD window is just black. But westhash shows I am connected but at 0 Mh. And I could swear I saw it actually hashing at one point, just VERY slow at like 5kh. Edit: So Onward... I figured out the command to log to a file because I can't see what the miner is doing and this is what I get: Code: [02:55:04] Started sgminer 5.2.1 Then nothing else. It just does those 2 hash updates and nothing more added to the log file while the blank miner screen is running. Title: Re: Can't seem to get ATI R9 380 to start mining.

Already sent you a pm a while ago :p Willing to help you and i don't need btc. No worries! It'd rather not do it using a virtual desktop. With it blue screening it would be a pain anyway. The blue screen definitely has something to do with the auto switching portion and not sgminer itself. It only blues screens when I run the runme.bat or when I try to benchmark or mine using nicehashminer.exe. If I run sgminer using my own bat file it doesn't crash but it goes to a black CMD window after showing version info. The nicehash site shows a miner connected but 0 accepted 0 rejected. The log file of sgminer show it starting up but not doing anything. BFGminer does run but I never get any accepted but it does show info and not just a black window after version info. So I might have 2 problems. 1) Nicehash miner Blue screens. 2) SGminer doesn't display anything after the version info but also doesn't mine. I have the latest ATI drivers installed but I have tried to install 15.7.1. I installed the latest APP SDK. I've tried older versions of SGminer. I'm not sure what else to try. Maybe if I can get it even working with another miner program so I at least know its working correctly. My problem is I have no idea of what switches to put in the bat files. I know the card works good because I've tried playing ARK Survival and Skyrim. Title: Re: Can't seem to get ATI R9 380 to start mining.

You already tried to use the stock sgminer with stock kernel/binaries right? put your runme.bat and *.conf file @ paste bin or so and show it here. But your issues are driver issues or something i think. Try ethereum first. you can find a windows version @ cryptomining-blog. Let me know how it went.
