Title: Scrypt - CPU1: Idle for more than 60 seconds, declaring SICK! [Bounty 0.05]
Post by: PondSea on January 28, 2014, 02:25:19 AM
Hi Guys.

I have a few Rigs and for the last few days i have been getting this error then CGMiner is crashing.

I am using windows 7 64 bit with 4gb ram and different makes/models of motherboards.

The GPU is Gigabyte R9 280x undervolted to 1075.

I have been looking/reading but i cant seem to figure it out. I have just modified the bat file i normally use and see if that helps. I will post a copy of that when i get home.

Can anything think of what else could be the problem?

Try a couple of things:

1. Restart your PC, run CPU-Z than run CGminer and follow the temp of GPU 1 - as it could be from overheating, if this is the case than find a way to cool your GPU (more fans, new thermal paste, etc).
2. If the problem persists, reinstall drivers.

Don't let the fan run slowly, letting the VRMs and core reach high temperature (relatively speaking)

"gpu-fan" : "70-85,70-85",
"temp-cutoff" : "78",
"temp-overheat" : "72",
"temp-target" : "66",


Or the core clock is too high for the voltage. Lower the clock. Which clock do you run it at?
