Not sure what is wrong here. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Quoting for images to show:

The problem is in the line you are using to run cgminer, we need to see how are you calling the program and what hardware are you using to help you with this.

Here are some useful threads:

Do you mind sharing what is inside your .bat file config?
There might be another reason why it shows 0 ASIC/zombie mode.

If your miner is connected directly to the PC/laptop, not on the hub with its own power your PC/Laptop is not giving enough power to your miner.
You can lower the voltage or reduce the frequency to try if it's hashing then gradually increase it later until you found the best settings for voltage/frequency.

If didn't work then there is official thread of this Newpac you can find it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5053833.0
The above links are not for Newpac official thread.

It's Windows so you might want to try reinstalling it in case the driver has not been loaded yet.

I've never heard of Zadig, so maybe it doesn't automatically start the driver. If that's the case then go to Device Manager and start it manually.

Here is the .bat file.

I have the miner connected to a usb hub

I use Zadig to install the driver because that is what the official thread said to use. It has been installed twice.

Thank you.

Do you mind switching to another pool to try? I'd like you to try switching to https://solo.ckpool.org/

Also, would you mind playing the settings under your suggested difficulty you can try this one --suggest-diff 5000 or increase the difficulty if it doesn't work.

Also try this one

You may want to move this into mining hardware (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=76.0) or mining support (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=40.0), or ask directly in the official NewPac support thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5053833.0).

Ok so I tried

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u my_btc_address -p x --gekko-newpac-boost --gekko-newpac-freq 100

It crashed. I then removed --gekko-newpac-boost and I got the same problem.

Have you replace the my_btc_address with your Bitcoin address?

It seems that there issue on the driver you need windows have driver signature verification by default if you disable it the miner might work properly.

If nothing works better bring your issue to the official thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5053833.2260
You can post it there and link this thread there.

I did insert my own btc wallet address. I will post over on the newpac forum as well.

Thanks.
