Title: need help for my miner. Post by: iarsenaux on February 16, 2014, 01:45:57 AM Gigabyte 990fxa - ud3
1475w thermaltake toughpower 80+ gold 850 seasonic 80+ bronze 5x msi r9 280x Powered risers Athlon II 12gb RAM 250GB HD Windows 7 ultimate It was a fresh installation. After windows 7 installation, all GPU can be seen but with exclamation mark on 4 of them, then i installed the driver that comes with the motherboard then i needed to reboot. After rebooting windows wont pass through the pulsating windows logo and stuck up and only hard reboot can make it stop. After i turn it on, it says i need system repair, so i did. But the drivers i previously got removed again. Everytime that i install a display driver it keeps stucking on start up. Title: Re: need help for my miner.

Seems hardware failure? Or drivers failure :) Title: Re: need help for my miner. Post by: xbudahx on February 16, 2014, 01:53:03 AM Linux is the way to go imo

It is so easy and wonderful OS! Title: Re: need help for my miner.

If i use linux, do i still need to download drivers like amd catalyst? Is there a difference with windows when it comes to hash rate? Title: Re: need help for my miner.

I have that board and didn't install the drivers that came with it. Did you disable on the BIOS, everything not needed for mining? Title: Re: need help for my miner.

Post by: ANJULE on February 16, 2014, 07:00:28 AM People here give like 1001 opinions about OS that is best for mining. ;D
The only one that I have used as plug&play is LitecoinBAMT. You can "burn" it on your 2Gb Usb-stick, modify cgminer.conf just like in windows. Then modify bamt.conf so that the number of gpus match the number of gpus in your system, its simple -> just change "1" to "0" and save. Insert it to your rig and start fire up. After few minutes it should start mining automatically. You would want to install xrdp -an remote desktop software that enables you to manage your rig from different pc in your home. You won't need even an display for your rig. But a display that you could be moved to your rig if needed is recommended since if the system BIOS doesn't understand that the OS is in usb-stick. You can't remote access your rig if the OS haven loaded. Search for litecoin bamt and you will find even more detailed and simplified directions to guide you. |
