Title: Why would CGMiner crash on me? Post by: Lethn on July 13, 2013, 03:37:53 PM hey guys, I'm trying to figure out how to mine scrypt coins like Litecoin, got CGMiner, got the bat file setup and everything is as it should be but I just get "Started CGMiner" and then it crashes.
Quote color 0A cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool1.eu.multipool.in:3334 -u miner -p password --shaders 1408 --intensity 10 --worksize 128 -g 1 Let me know what you think, I'm using Multipool.

Title: Re: Why would CGMiner crash on me? Post by: Lethn on July 13, 2013, 03:42:11 PM ATI Radeon 6970
Title: Re: Why would CGMiner crash on me? Post by: xyzwarrior on July 13, 2013, 03:45:17 PM well I have the same card and it also keep crashing until I uninstall the driver and install 13.6 beta. whats your driver version ?
Title: Re: Why would CGMiner crash on me? Post by: Lethn on July 13, 2013, 03:51:22 PM If my DXDiag is right I've got 12.1 LOL maybe I just need to do some updating :D either that or I'm looking at the wrong bloody thing.
Title: Re: Why would CGMiner crash on me? Post by: xyzwarrior on July 13, 2013, 03:53:17 PM find it at catalyst control center -> information -> software -> catalyst version
Title: Re: Why would CGMiner crash on me? Post by: Lethn on July 13, 2013, 04:09:10 PM Ah! Thanks! Got it now, version 13.4 is what I have.
Title: Re: Why would CGMiner crash on me? Post by: xyzwarrior on July 13, 2013, 04:09:40 PM try updating it to 13.6

Have you installed OpenCL? You haven't listed that. If you have, then things to do: 1> Change worksize (to 256) and check 2> Roll back to an earlier cgminer (3.0.1 is my fav) and check 3> Roll back OpenCL to an earlier build (I use 2.5) and check. Title: Re: Why would CGMiner crash on me? Post by: Lethn on July 13, 2013, 04:18:42 PM Ahhh OpenCL? I haven't that'll be why it's crashing then.
Edit: I remember installing an earlier version of OpenCL so I'll install the latest and see if that makes a difference. Title: Re: Why would CGMiner crash on me?

Edit: I remember installing an earlier version of OpenCL so I'll install the latest and see if that makes a difference. Earlier version should work too. Just make sure you install the AMD one (and NOT Intel; though I have both and it doesn't affect). Title: Re: Why would CGMiner crash on me? Post by: Lethn on July 13, 2013, 05:03:32 PM Just so I know I'm not being an idiot, OpenCL is this isn't it? http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/heterogeneous-computing/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/downloads/
And holy hell, even with my drivers uninstalled the installation fails O_O I think this is what happened to me before so I gave up, I'm going to see if uninstalling absolutely all AMD stuff does anything. Edit: Quote Application Install: install package failure! :( Title: Re: Why would CGMiner crash on me? Post by: Lethn on July 13, 2013, 05:24:27 PM Aha! Found the OpenCL MSI in Packages > Apps > OpenCL64, going to re-install my graphics card drivers now too to see if that will do anything now.
Edit: nope, still crashes Title: Re: Why would CGMiner crash on me? Post by: Lethn on July 13, 2013, 05:56:25 PM Aha! This looks like a classic URL problem I think it's because I've copypasted the whole thing, will need to tweak with it to make it work.
Edit 1: It'd be great if you guys could help me on this, I think cgminer must be hating on the stratum+tcp part of my URL. Edit 2: After tweaking the URL I managed to stop the crashing but now I get errors Quote Starting CGMiner 3.3.0 Probing for alive pool Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid Title: Re: Why would CGMiner crash on me? Post by: Lethn on July 13, 2013, 06:51:13 PM How the fuck? I just entered a normal http:/ URL with one of the Argentum pools and now all of a sudden it's working and showing statistics just fine, it must be something to do with multipool itself.
Here's what my working settings look like now: Quote gminer.exe --scrypt -o http://arg.epools.org:3339 -u miner.username-p password So far everythings working normal and CGminer is actually quite nice because of the way you can tweak the graphics card, now I need to see if it confirms shares properly and it seems to be doing fine. Edit: Okay my mistake, I've figured out that there's something in my ATI settings that's causing the crash, if I do anything higher than a quite low K hash rate it crashes, this is the cause :( Title: Re: Why would CGMiner crash on me? Post by: Lethn on July 13, 2013, 07:13:13 PM Can you please explain that in complete noob terms?
Edit: WAIT! IT WORKED! And I'm getting good hashrates now! All I did was remove the shaders tag, I've got everything just right now because I can even surf the net and stuff without any lag and I'm operating at quite comforting temperatures, I can see why people like CGMiner so much now. |
