Windows 8.1 can support up to 5 dual core GPUs and since the R9 290 are dual core, you would be able to run only 5 of them. If you wanna run 6 or more you'd need Linux.
I think there's a way to bypass the limitation of Windows 8.1, but from what I read it involves some level or risk and might not work at all even if you get everything right.

Despite what you wrote, I'd still venture to say it's the temperature of your GPU that causes that shutdown. What's your VRAM temperature close to the 30-40 minutes mark?
Generally speaking, a computer will shut itself down to protect a piece of hardware, usually the cause is overheating.

My Monitor only has a VGA connection. It is an old eMachine monitor, I picked it up at goodwill. I can get the adaptor, they are cheap, just wondering if this will solve the problem?
The computer will be used exclusively for mining once set up. I got the computer super cheap, and then of course spent much more on the graphics card. I was able to get it all set up so easily on my mac, so I thought I'd foray into this area.
Since it's gonna serve only for mining you could always keep it headless (without a monitor) and just control it from your main computer using a software, something like Remote Adminstrator or TeamViewer. Setup one of the softwares I listed (TeamViewer is free), then unplug the old video card and log to the machine remotely and install the drivers for the 7950. |

OK, so I updated the driver for the X1600, since that is what my monitor is plugged into, restarted and that is working correctly now.
But I do not have the proper adapter to plug my monitor into the HD 7950. But I think my motherboard has some graphics built in that I can plug into. Should I try that? Or do you think I have to get the adapter, and just use the HD 7950 exclusively for both my monitor and mining?
The 7950 has both DVI-I and HDMI connection, and if you got neither that it means your monitor is quite old. What is this computer used for ? |

Well, you obviously have driver issue... I'm not sure you can have both cards running considering the x1600 is really quite old.

For all having issues with rejects -
-- Keep intensity below 19, try 18 (on -g 1 configs).
-- Insert -E 10 -s 5 -Q 0 settings into your config(s).
Can you explain why you are suggesting this? Lowering my intensity lowers my overall hashrate - and on other pools I have close to 0% rejection rate (only here do I have a higher rate) Can you explain what -E, -S, and -Q are as well, what their default values are, and why you're changing up or down instead of giving blind advice? --expiry|-E <arg> Upper bound on how many seconds after getting work we consider a share from it stale (default: 120) --scan-time|-s <arg> Upper bound on time spent scanning current work, in seconds (default: 60) --queue|-Q <arg> Minimum number of work items to have queued (0 - 10) (default: 1) What atp1916 suggested works best for R9 290, other cards might require different values. |

Does Windows detect your 7950 (device manager)?

Website is offline, error 522.
It's up again and all the unexchanged changed, wonder if it's related. Nonetheless, my payout jumped dramatically up  |

light bulbs have efficiency ratings like 100% of electricity
I don't even know where to begin on how wrong this statement is... 90% light +10% heat. Does your explanation still work?
It's other way around (90% heat, 10% light) and yeah my explanation still works. |

Well, electricity is a wicked thing.
All of it will transform 100.0000% in to heat.
it doesnt have to. It can transform into light in a lightbulb for example.So what does into transfrom itself into in a cpu? Maybe information?  I does. Heat is essentially energy, and that energy is used, in a tungsten wire (your average light bulb) to excite electrons to higher levels, eventually those electrons will fall back to their normal level and when that happens, they release energy (the same amount of energy that was required to excite them to the next level), that energy is released in the form of a photon - light. So the electric energy was used to excite the electrons, not to produce light. The light was produced from the electrons dropping back. |

People should really stop with this pre-order nonsense, not to mention that the website is raising some huge red flags. I've been following them for a while
That means what exactly? That you've opened their website every 2nd day or you actually did some investigation work to try and found out who they really are? |

Anyone noticed any improvement after H2os twitter message ?

There are no advantages in the long run to mine with any of the clouding services. Paying 1.11+$ for 1 Kh/s is way, way over pricing it, almost double if you'd simply buy the hardware yourself. But, you made this thread to post your referral link so...  the fact that everything is guaranteed for at least four years, is a optimal medium-term horizon for your mining investment.
lol...  |

Error 61 is occurring because of memory issues. Depending on how much RAM your system have, you might need to lower your TC value.
I got 4GB of RAM and the max TC I can use is around 24k~
Also make sure your batch file has the following lines included:
"export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100"
"export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1"
Edit: Also, you might wanna try sgminer.

"Unexchanged" issue is getting more and more scary...  How long does it usually take for unexchanged and immature to mature? Cause I have unexchanged for atleast 14 hours now. |

Okay thanks. Next question: how do i remove my old driver? Can i just overwrite it?
Edit: I tried the 14.1 Beta driver, still the same problem :/
Did you try 13.12 or did you jump right into the beta drivers? Also, post your settings here. |

value of 1 would be on. i set it to 0 and i'll try it out in a bit. hopefully this works
Yes yes, my mistake, I meant to type 0 there. |
