Title: Suddenly Unable to Mine Post by: Warbird on March 30, 2013, 04:44:03 AM Hi all,
In the past I used GUIminer as a means of accessing my pool of choice and it worked just fine, but I started receiving connection errors in the speed listing and have been unable to mine. After some testing, I suspect that the cause may be more serious than I first suspected. Here's what I have done so far: Tried new workers in my standard pool Tried other pools Attempted alternate workers in said pool Downloaded CGminer Attempted to launch CGminer via .bat file Attempted to launch CGminer via in application prompts Attempted to launch CGminer via cmd line Attempted to connect to alternate pools via CGminer Attempted to connect to alternate workers in pools via CGminer Downloaded older versions of CG and GUI miners Yelled at the computer for a bit I'm getting pretty frustrated with this whole thing. GUIminer doesn't give me a reason for why the wheels are spinning in the mud, and the console shows that it's trying to to connect to the right place with the right information. I can't say as much for CGminer. It just crashes as soon as it attempts to connect to any pool. Exception access violation (c0000005) is thrown and Google has been no help in determining what in blazes is going on. I'd really appreciate any help or insight on the problem.

You could always try a fresh install of the OS. Title: Re: Suddenly Unable to Mine Post by: SkyNet on March 31, 2013, 10:25:20 PM Try reinstalling the OS and installing fresh drivers.
It should do the trick Title: Re: Suddenly Unable to Mine Post by: s.paulson23 on March 31, 2013, 10:29:11 PM get latest version, if already have, get older version
Title: Re: Suddenly Unable to Mine Post by: Warbird on March 31, 2013, 10:29:38 PM I'm not above doing just that, but it'll be a pain to get things running again. Do you figure that I can do a fresh install and then port my files over from a backup, or would that defeat the purpose?
get latest version, if already have, get older version I've already tried that, but thank you for the suggestion. Title: Re: Suddenly Unable to Mine Post by: chong900208 on March 31, 2013, 10:35:03 PM I would try reinstalling the graphics card drivers, just my thought :)

check firewall, antvirus, antimalwares you try put pool info in config file? fails more: use cgminer Title: Re: Suddenly Unable to Mine Post by: kaoD on March 31, 2013, 10:47:00 PM Does ping or regular HTTP access to the pool mining address work?
Title: Re: Suddenly Unable to Mine Post by: Warbird on April 01, 2013, 03:12:37 PM Just a bit of an update: I reformatted my computer as suggested and everything works now!
