The hash rate fluctuates between 31mhash/s and 35 in the video.

What's suspicious? Every single miner client out there does this. There is no such thing as a 100% stable hash rate.
It will always slightly move up and down.

If you get a similar hash rate, then you have a very old ATI card (4350 or worse).

from 15 to 30 mh/s? nvidia is a waste.  lucky to get 0.01 btc per day from that, not even enough to cover additional electricity cost.

60A on 12V at least. 70A-75A would be safer minimum.

im new to this bitcoin forum, but i have experience with hardware. right now i have 1500w power supply and i dont even use 1/3 of it. so for 3 of those over 1000w should be fine, but 1200w and up is good.

Hi sporeknight123,

At the moment you can't mine solo because you don't have the complete blockchain. It around 125857 now. From what you wrote it's obvious that your client is having problems connecting to the network. If you wait I am sure it will eventually find peers and complete the download. If you don't want to wait, you need to open the 8333 port on your computer or/and router facing the Internet. The easy way to achieve this is to go to "Settings"->"Options"->and check "Map forwarding using UPnP". Then restart the client.
Alternatively, you could join a pool because if you continue solo, in all likelihood, it will be weeks or months before you get your first reward.
