Title: Miner keeps getting stuck on "Long poll"
Post by: SgtSpike on December 07, 2011, 07:44:11 PM
So I had a dedicating mining machine with a single 5850 in it that was recently repurposed as a desktop for my wife.  Ever since then, I've been having trouble keeping the miner running.  Using guiminer, and usually after 10-15 hours of running, it'll stop mining.  When I get back to it to reset it, in the status bar at the bottom, it'll say "Long poll: New block 00000x4930" or something like that.  Can't remember the exact text off the top of my head.

What could the problem be?
