Title: Help with 5870 and 7850 for LTC mining Post by: malvino on August 16, 2013, 07:02:35 PM Hi to all!
I'm requesting your help because I don't know what more to do to mine LTC with my two cards. I've tried a lot of software and configurations with no results (resets, blue screens, etc). So I would really appreciate if someone with the same cards could give me some light in my darkness… This is my rig: Pentium 4 3.00 overclocked to 3.45 8 Gb RAM Asus P5NT WS Motherboard (3 PCI-E) GPU AMD 5870 GPU AMD 7850 Windows 7 Ultimate in a Corsair SSD 32Gb (Nova series V32) Liquid Refrigeration for the CPU and GPU's Corsair GS 800 Power Supply Latest AMD and SDK drivers. Also 12.8 and 2.7 Thank you! Title: Re: Help with 5870 and 7850 for LTC mining Post by: gadman2 on August 16, 2013, 07:04:38 PM 99% of all blue screens are from a failure in memory. Try removing a stick of memory at a time and maybe you'll find a bad stick.

The blue screen appeared only a few days ago, when changing AMD drivers and trying to mine. Anyway I'll test the RAM.

All the software I've tried to mine freezes when started the two cards. Seems the Motherboard has gen 1 Pci-e 16x slots. You will need at least gen 2.0 :) Really? These are the specifications: 3 x PCIe x16 slot, support NVIDIA® SLI™ technology, at x8, x8,x16 or x16, x1, x16 speed Maybe shall I switch to Linux? It would be easier? |
