Title: Verification Failed, check hardware Post by: stratusthewise on July 17, 2011, 03:24:12 AM just another newbie trying to pick himself up off the ground.
i've got a AMD phenom II X4 965 cpu and a msi ati radeon hd 5970 (2gb) using guiminer v2011-07-01 with bitcoin i set it up to the best of my knowledge running with my cpu only i have consistently gotten the "Verification Failed, Check Hardware" error not sure whats wrong and guides are running out of help trying to connect to api2.bitcoin.cz:8332 under the device tab, my gpu doesnt show up, but thats a problem for later. thanks Title: Re: Verification Failed, check hardware Post by: BMFX on July 17, 2011, 05:58:45 AM Have you installed the ATI Stream SDK? If not, i am sure that will fix both problems.

If your graphics card was in fact running, it will start spitting out seriously around 25% incorrect data at about 130C like if your fan broke or something. Kinda indicates that error message but I still think the dude above me was correct.

just trying to get it running before i worry about getting my gpu for miner i am dl'ing sti stream sdk and will let you know if that fixes things btw, thanks Title: Re: Verification Failed, check hardware Post by: blinklightbox on July 26, 2011, 02:42:36 AM If it is happening on stock speeds, try underclocking a bit with Trixx to lower heat as a test.
Title: Re: Verification Failed, check hardware Post by: Dargo on July 26, 2011, 04:45:20 AM Wait, you have a 5970, but you want to get the cpu mining first before you mine with the 5970? That is backwards. Just get that gpu mining and worry about the cpu later (or better: not at all).
Title: Re: Verification Failed, check hardware Post by: stratusthewise on July 28, 2011, 08:18:10 PM Dargo, i wanted to start mining as soon as possible so i wasn't worried about mining with my gpu yet
i did however get my gpu up and mining with a great tip from BMFX approximately how long do you have to wait before you are done receiving shares?

I see you choose slush, you should seem them in the status how many shares you have processed, they start appearing pretty quick say a few minutes at most.

is that where the work is done and btc come from? if so, i haven't gotten any btc's yet... |
