Title: Guiminer crashes Win 7 x64 immediately after clicking "stop mining" Post by: cvenomz on June 14, 2011, 02:17:21 AM Lame sauce that I cant even post this in the guiminer thread and I am stuck on the noob forum >:(
But as the title says, guiminer crashes my machine every time I stop the program. I have tested this on multiple nvidia cards with the same result. I have even updated my drivers a few times and no fix. I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem or knew a fix Thanks Title: Re: Guiminer crashes Win 7 x64 immediately after clicking "stop mining" Post by: lessPlastic on June 14, 2011, 02:42:48 AM Have you tried restarting your computer? Also, are you positive that you are using the OpenCL poclbm miner + the CUDA (important that you use CUDA not the usual nVidia drivers) driver?

Lol, I give it a restart every time I stop mining. I just realized I wasnt very specific about the crashes. When it crashes, I mean the whole machine is unresponsive. Not even the cursor will move. Everything is completely locked up until after a hard reset. And I am pretty sure about using OpenCL. I can try to double check though. I am using the defaults if that makes a difference. And I do have CUDA installed. I mean, everything works; my hashrate is normal for the video card I am using UNTIL I try to stop it.Title: Re: Guiminer crashes Win 7 x64 immediately after clicking "stop mining" Post by: SomeoneWeird on June 14, 2011, 03:18:03 AM Have you tried restarting your computer?

No idea then. nVidias aren't considered to be too good with mining anyhow. I'd say try to wait for an update to guiminer/poclbm, or just go all-out and use the phoenix-miner binary.

I do realise that. But why not do it? I don't pay for electricity. it's another ~30mh/s Title: Re: Guiminer crashes Win 7 x64 immediately after clicking "stop mining" Post by: Schleicher on June 14, 2011, 06:06:18 AM My computer doesn't crash, but Windows is resetting the graphics driver. This takes some seconds, and then everything is back to normal.
This happens with other OpenCL-Miners as well. Try the CUDA-miner. |
