Title: Please help me with Cudaminer! GTX 590 problem! Freezes/lockup
Post by: tekjames on June 28, 2014, 08:46:20 PM
So i've been trying to start my cudaminer, I am running a EVGA GTX 590, but ran into a very very frustrating problem.
I already updated my drivers to the latest 337.88 WHQL, also running latest cudaminer and made sure my bat file lines are correct.
Well when i run my cudaminer here is what pops up

Well when i run it, it doesnt display anything else and soon starts to freeze/lock up and have to force a restart.

If anyone can assist please do! In need of help!!

Do you have two GTX590's? It seems like it tries to launch two threads on what I presume you say is only 1GPU. Try running it with -t 1 or -d 0.
Also, are you also using your GTX590 hdmi for your screen? If so, try out the onboard gpu if you have one while mining or if you don't, run it with -i 1, so it will leave some gpu cycles to browse with your screen (don't try watching a video though)
