I'm running cgminer 3.2.2 also tried 3.2.0 and 3.1.1. I'm on linux mint 14 64bit
I have a ATI 5770 with 1gb.
Before I installed the 5770 I cpu mined btc with bfgminer just for fun and to say I did it.
After installing the 5770 I setup cgminer 3.2.0 and mined ltc. It worked great, I was getting around 145Kh/s with lots of accepts and some few rejects, around 92% good.
I thought I'd try my hand again at btc. So I setup in a seperate folder cgminer 3.2.2 with all my pool info.
When I run cgminer it runs at around 200-240Mh/s not bad. Problems is it never accepts or rejects anything. Just sits spinning its wheels, so to speak.

If I close it down and reopen the folder that has cgminer 3.2.0 with my ltc info it mines fine with out a problem.
So I setup seperate directories for cgminer 3.2.0 and 3.1.1 with my btc info and they just spin their wheels also.
I went back to bfgminer and tried it again and it just spins it wheels too.
I have 4 different btc pools that I can mine with but non of them do anything now.

Why won't my system now mine btc?

Any help would be great.
Thanks

You can try reinstalling your mining application, usually fixes the problem

Are you using separate setting settings for BTC vs LTC?  These are mined  in two different ways so if you are using LTC settings on BTC, chances are it wont work.

I dont understand what your asking

Sure you can still accept

What GPU settings are you using with cgminer?  Are you using a config file, or are you using command lines to set your intensity, gpu engine, gpu clock, etc?  BTC mining is GPU engine heavy so you want to ramp up your GPU engine and down clock your memory, while LTC is sort of the opposite.  So if you are using settings that are meant for LTC mining, they will not work with BTC mining.

I have several folders with seperate cgminer versions. I have not tried to btc with the cgminer I use for ltc.
I keep them seperate.
This is what I'm using to start the program.

./cgminer -o pool.maxbtc.com:8332 -u xxxx -p xxxx -I 5 --auto-gpu --auto-fan --gpu-threads 1 --gpu-engine 800-950 --gpu-memclock 795 --temp-target 70 --temp-overheat 80

With my username and password, in place of the xxxx. :)

I can't really re-install as cgminer isn't installed. It's just downloaded and unziped and ran.
I'm running linux not windows.

Thanks

In cgminer it has an item that shows as you are mining how many hashes you process are accepted or rejected or stale.
My cgminer just spins it wheels, I never get any accepted, rejected or stale. Nothing. Yet it says it is processing at 200-250Mh/s.

When I ltc mine it shows almost immediately hashes accepted.

Try adding -w 256 and remove --gpu-engine. You have a target temp listed so with --auto-gpu the system will auto adjust to hit that target temp, and with that being at 70 I dont see it getting over 950mhz

Went ahead and did the changes you recommended #Zanatos666 but still didn't affect anything.
Still just runs without accepts or rejects.


But thanks.
