New to Ether mining (I mine BTC with ASICs) I have tried several mining programs for Ether, including MinerGate, which was the first I tried using, which installed the DAG (I have a feeling this is my issue). Once the DAG was completed it let me use my CPU to mine but not my GPU. When I tried using Claymore, something seemingly similar happens and it gets "hung" on something. Here's a log of how far the miner gets before it gets stuck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: After some more forum searching, people hinted to outdated/missing OpenCL drivers (which I was quite sure I had installed), but after installing several updates and a new package it's now hashing.
