Title: Need help!! cant mine scrypt
Post by: soulistyce on January 05, 2014, 03:47:48 PM
im needing some help with my saphire hd 5450
first i with the drivers i had i couldnt mine anything, then i read on web that was do to crapy drivers told me to test the beta ones
so ive installed 13.11beta and was able to mine sha256d bitcoin, but scrypt always gave me an error and cgminer closes,
thought it could be some defect from my grafic card so ive tested on linux,
on linux new drivers the same problem until i came across with one post of xubuntu 12.10 with some old drivers and it worked so my problem is the drivers
now ive installed on my windows 8 the new amd app 2.9 and drivers 13.12 and still cant mine scrypt or even scrypt-jane
cgminer just crashes to depuration  ??? window and on bfgminer the error is the same,
 and the new version says i dont have any hardware  ???

any help please

I would try earlier drivers for your GPU. Uninstall the current driver, remove from Device Manager, reboot and install driver.
