Title: Mining software will not run! Help!
Post by: Shammasterb on November 10, 2013, 08:01:45 PM
Started BFG miner 3.4.0 and it just hangs there does not recognizes any devices, also keeps saying I either have wrong URL and no workers setup.  I check to see if something change because I have been mining with BTC guild for about 3 months.  Also I check CG miner and it says I do not have the right credentials, not detecting devices either.  I would like to thank anyone in advance for help me with this problem.

I checked other pooled that I have mined before and bfg and cg miners are acting the same way.

I’m using block eruptors on this one and blades on my laptop,  both are doing the same thing.  Background there was an cable outage in the area all day, both devices were going in and out.  Also when I start bfg miner the indicator light go off like they are going to work then come back on.

Sorry for the long reply have to wait 360 seconds to reply back.

From your cable service going down?  I doubt it.

No problem, thought I may have missed the reply.

Let's try this.

1.  Unplug your Hub(s) from your system.
2.  Remove your Hub(s) and BE's from Device Manager.
3.  Shutdown system and restart.
4.  Unplug all of your BE's from the Hub(s).
5.  After the system restarts and your logged into your desktop plug in the Hub(s).
6.  Look in Device Manger and verify the drivers for the hubs got installed OK.  If there are any with errors remove them again and rescan for hardware changes.
7.  Plug in ONE Block Erupter.
8.  If your using CGMiner now run Zadig and make sure it's using WinUSB and install it if necessary.  If your using BFGMiner verify that it's a com port or install the VPC driver to make it show up as a com port.
9.  Plug in the rest of your erupters and verify they have the correct driver for whichever miner your using.

If that all goes well then start up your miner and give it a minuter or two tor recognize the BE's and pools.

did everything you told me to do!  when I start BFG miner it just hang there than cuts off.  I check all my log in code they are correct.  It's has to be some type of conflict going on somewhere.

Sorry we couldn't hit a solution for you.  But that kind exhausts what I can think of at the moment.  Did you post on the BFGMiner thread?  I'm not real knowledgeable about BFGMiner as I have always used CGMiner.

If you have any new developments let us know.
