Title: 5970 help, think i broke it :(
Post by: Spekko on May 18, 2013, 04:14:09 PM
Hi all, really hoping someone can help me with this issue.

Yesterday I got and started mining with a 5970,, was mining really well and had zero issues at all. Along with the 5970 im mining with a 7970 on same board and using my onboard intel chip for my display.

been mining with 7970 + 5870 with this setup for weeks with zero issues. I replaced the 5870 with 5970 and everything was smooth. Last night my power tripped while mining, and when i turned on my 5970 caused everything to fail. I couldnt even see the temp of the one core. eventually I the card is now working, on a fresh windows install, it seems to game fine and i see usage and temps on both cores.

My 7970 stills mine fine, but when i try to mine in guiminer with 5970 i see the hashes and hear the card spin up and see 99% usage on both cores but i get this error:

2013-05-18 18:02:33: Listener for "5970": stratum.ozco.in:3333 18/05/2013 18:02:33, Verification failed, check hardware! (0:1:Cypress, ac940ad4)

for each share it tries to submit, cards fan spins up as usual but none of my shares are getting accepted :/, worked perfectly before. Even on fresh install of windows + drivers.
