Title: cgminer randomly freezes and takes cgminer-monitor.py with it
Post by: ashen on December 27, 2013, 05:35:47 PM
Hello, I use cgminer-3.7.2 on xubuntu 12.04 with latest cgminer-monitor and I got random freezes on both of my rigs. One rig has three 7850 radeons using latest stable amd drivers and second one has three r9-270x with latest beta drivers. When cgminer freezes, cpu usage of xorg rises to 100% and cgminer cannot be killed (even with -9) and cgminer-monitor stops responding - which is bad because that's the reason why I started to use it - to restart cgminer after freeze. Any idea what could went wrong? Should I try to use older version of cgminer or are those freezes normal? How are you monitoring your rigs? Thanks for suggestions

Sure it's not your GPU crashing?

Try lowering the intensity and number of threads.
