Seems the retards at McAfee have something against bitcoin mining. Last few weeks McAfee has been deleting minerd.exe and cgminer.exe, saying they're "Artemis Trojan". Useless b***ards.  Had to put the various exes in the whitelists in ePO. Waste of my time. Rant over.  |

As others have said, it's not the motherboard being too smart. It's just you've not put enough cooling in your case, plain and simple.
Something's overheating to the point for tripping out - might be your PSU, might be the motherboard.

It will probably be ok, however it is not a good PSU. HEC OEM, old old old model, not even 80+ certified. It probably won't murder your GPU or anything, but definitely don't try to load much else on it.
Well, I've got two of them, and had zero issues with them. One is running perfectly fine with two heavy power GPUs, as linked above. For the price I paid for mine, I think they're very hard to beat. They're still a quality PSU, they're not like the crappy CIT or ACE things that are £20 for a 750W. |

Slush is the man and I will continue to mine with the pool. Thank you for the updates and transparency. We all get more careful and diligent due to times like these and I personally appreciate your updates and contribution and dedication to the bitcoin community.
This. I'll be mining with slush until I stop mining bitcoins. Any chance of running a Litecoin pool, too, slush? That'd make me a very happy camper. |

Older cards might need the TIM refreshed, too. I just got another HD5870 off the Bay of E. Temps were 92C pretty much instantly, fan at 100%.  Took the heatsink off, and the previous owner had put some sort of cheap silver compound on there, which was really thin and gloopy. It had all squeezed off the GPU core and was puddled inside the shim. Cleaned it up best I could, put a blob of generic grey compound on, reassembled, now getting 69C at 80% fan. My HD6970 was the same - the factory TIM had all dried up, again dropped 20C and about 30% fan speed just by renewing the TIM. |

I got two Questions.
Are my Bitcoins safe and Do I need to change pools?
Way to not bother reading the thread, brainiac. |

The past week I can't stay connected. cgminer is not switching to backup pools either, its all rejected shares the first time. Today it crashed cgminer on all 11 of my pc's. It just showed the program stopped responding message. I just gone done redirecting them to slush's pool a couple hours ago to see if things were working again. Guess not.. I was very impressed before, I had no issues since switching to stratum except for the past 10 days or so.
Update your CGminer Or fix his internet. I'm using an old CGMiner 2.10.3 on one machine and CGMiner 3.0 on the other. No connection issues since the DDoS attack stopped. |

I open the window. Pretty simple solution. Then again, it's not exactly very hot here. |

1. Plug riser lead in to slot. 2. Plug card in to riser lead. 3.  ?? 4. Profit? |

 MSI H77MA-G43 board, Celeron G540@1.6GHz, 2GB RAM, Powercolor HD6970@880/1375, Powercolor HD5870@stock, 80GB Seagate HDD, 500W OCZ CoreXtreme PSU, Windows 7 Pro N. So far, so good. Waiting on a beefier PSU arriving. Smoke hasn't got out of this little 500W unit so far, which is pretty good. Love OCZ PSUs. Upgrades waiting to go on - Zalman 1000W PSU (used off eBay), 64GB SSD boot drive (less power consumption than the ancient Seagate), 4GB RAM. Running at just under 790MH/s. Not bad for a machine made out of scrap and eBay cheap parts. |

30W to run a fan and an LED. No wonder they had power problems!  |

It has a 1600W PSU, so I'm pretty sure it'll be less than 1600W from the wall.

One of my rigs runs an i5-3350P, which is a 69W CPU. According to the Asus EPU software, the chip is using 22-23W running 7 threads of Litecoin mining and the other thread left to run the two GPUs that are mining Bitcoins.
My other machines all use Sandy Bridge Celerons, which do nothing only run Windows to satisfy the GPUs, they're running a 1.6GHz with the core voltage lowered. They're running sub 10W at my estimation.
AMD is only competitive when you go to the Turion, IMHO.

They can't possibly be shipping mine already, can they?
Ha ha ha ha ha! HAHAHAHAH!!! *wheeze* AHAHAHAHA!!!!!! *cough*  |

McAfee was going mad here this morning too. Doesn't seem to like the Litecoin miners linked in the "alternative currency" forum. I should have know better when it came off Rapidshare. |

mining on a laptop is a bad plan, they're not designed to run 100% CPU for a long period of time.
Even some desktop PCs struggle - one of my miners melts if I put the case side on, though it is running a HD6970 doing Bitcoins, and a dual core Pentium doing Litecoins. But, it is a really cheap and nasty microATX tower case, really wasn't designed for that sort of use.

I see that link, but see a different table. One that doesn't include the "your shares" etc.
Are you logged in OK? |

Where on Slush's website do you find that screen? I've been looking everywhere for it.
"Statistics" link, third link down on the left. |

Not every chip is identical. Maybe one's heat sink isn't as well attached? Or the cooling for one card isn't as good in the case?
Have you tried swapping the cards round if they're both in the same machine?
