Title: LTC mining problems
Post by: maud138 on September 14, 2013, 12:27:13 PM
I try to get my card mining again after installing a new OS: Windows 7 64bit pro.
cgminer(3.3.4) crashes “cgminer detected a problem and must be closed”. I’m running Catalyst 13.10_beta and I have a AMD 5770.
What Catalyst and SDK do I need?

thanks

I believe you need to use a much older driver. There are a few threads already started about this.
Here's one you started: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=291035.0

i think 13.3 or 13.4 is a good version to start :) beta drivers are always a bit iffy

I've already tried 13-4 . It doesn't work.
It's an older card. I believe I need an older driver but I can't seem to find one that's suitable for Windows 7 64bits

I posted the link to older drivers in your other thread.

Ah yes, KWH of course, I'm sorry. I haven't tried those yet. I was hoping someone could point me into the right direction, before I start trying them all one by one :)

Try the latest 12.xx drivers. Maybe 12.10? Hope it works for you.

12.10 doesn't work. I will try the other ones this week.
Maybe I need an older version of cgminer?

I had 2-5850's, Vista64, CCC 13.1 and Cgminer 3.1. Make sure you do a complete uninstall of the CCC drivers. Also, you are deleting your .bin files from failed attempts in Cgminer?

I got it working again. With Catalyst 12.1 and cgminer 3.1.1

Thanks
