Title: GUIMinerm, CGminer cutting my internet connection as soon a I click start mine.
Post by: Stevenrm87 on May 07, 2013, 08:47:26 PM
I need help.

I had this all working before with no problems now I get this issue.

Running 1 card 7850

As soon as I click start mine in Guiminer my internet stops for my device (just that 1 computer) if I lower the intensity the internet connection goes to a crawl but SOME shares are accepted. Most are dropped however due to the lack of signal to pool.

I also see this error  Error -1: Getting Device IDs (num)

Anyone have any ideas as to what I can to do fix this?

Installed latest opencl amd drivers and ran as Admin and now it just gets stuck at "connecting" Internet connection works just fine at this point although but I fear its the point that which I actually get connected that it cuts my internet connection.

any other suggestions at this point?

Could try posting directly in the cgminer thread might get more help there.
Random guess but do you have a usb wifi stick that you use for network connection ? Could the USB probing on cgminer be  effecting it?

I do not. I have a PCE-n53 wireless adapter slapped on my MOB. I had this thing up and running once before and thats whats bothering me.

Just re-read your post, that error i think is to do with your graphics card.

Try the latest version of cgminer and see what you get from that. cgminer is what guiminer uses underneath anyway, but iam not sure of the what version it uses.

So nothing I did worked at all. Even re installed windows re did everything and nothing fixed it. Intended up boot and nuking hard drive with DNB and re installed everything and it worked.

Who knows what I screwed up originally but oh we'll
