Title: Mining error with 6870
Post by: dementyev on May 14, 2013, 01:57:30 AM
So I had a stable working GPU mining setup with GUIminer using a HD 6870, dirver set was CCC 13.1, I made the fatal mistake of updating the driver to CCC 13.4, kept getting "verification failed check hardware" errors, tried rolling back to earlier drivers, kept getting same error, if the driver worked at all, got a lot of MMdriver.exe stopped working errors too.  Finally just system restored to about a week ago before all this happened.  No MMdriver.exe errors, and everything else seems to be working fine, but the GUIminer now returns this error after accepting a handful of shares:

Any idea how I can get it working again?  Something in the 13.4 driver update apparently screwed things up, but I've no idea where or what.  Any ideas?

follow the guide in my sig, maybe.

I'd love to, but seeing as I'm damn near broke you'll have to send me the money to do so first.

Oh, I don't know.  How about trying 13.1?

This seems to happen allot with various mining programs.

It doesn't cost a dime to follow the guide in my signature about setting up a linux miner.
