Title: Starting to ltc mine (ISSUES)
Post by: headygains on April 17, 2013, 07:53:37 PM
I planned on using cgminer to do my litecoin mining, I'm not an experienced only been at it about a week on bitcoins, but I'm running a single
nvidia quadro 600 and an older intel dual core. It didn't take me long to realize that with this setup I wasn't accomplishing anything over at slush's pool (except minutely adding hashrates to the network).

Now I'm using the wemineltc.com pool with cgminer, I generated my user .bat and placed it inside my cgminer file, executed it and viola.
It ran great excluding the fact that cgminer was only using my cpu, when I enable my gpu it crashes my drivers. specs below any information could help!!

Os: Win7 Home Premium
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 (C) DC 2.13 GHz
Chipset: P965
Motherboard: ASUS P5BW-LA
GPU: Nvidia quadro 600 - 1GBDDR3 - PCIe 2.0 x 16
GPU Driver: 311.35
Miner: cgminer-2.11.4-windows

Not sure if i should post this in Alternate currencies or here in technical sorry if it's wrong.

For NVIDIA switch to cuda miner. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167229.0

Make sure you update your drivers
