Yes, only when mining.

First thing I checked on the first lockup was num lock, doesn't work so interrupts aren't even working. True hard lock.

Unrecoverable driver crash should cause a BSOD, I believe.

FYI: I don't have any wallets on the machine that locks up. There's no guarantee our lockups are due to the same issue though...

Ok this may be a little off topic but let's see if anyone else has this issue.  I'm running windows 7 x64,  and leaving it running it will run for months. If I leave cudaminer running it will run all day fine. But I leave it all night and my system hangs at random times. No bod,  no crash report. The system stays booted, but no display output, and the only way to do anything is to hold the power button down?

Everything is fully updated, anyone else got this problem?
Doesn't happen with keccak but I have noticed it a lot with script,  and scrypt-n

I'm using cudaminer 28-2-14
Same thing happens to me. Seems to happen more frequently with scrypt-n than scrypt for me, but I have no data to back that up. I *think* it may have to do with waking the monitor, it never happens on my machine that has monitor sleeping disabled, but the machine that does put the monitor to sleep locks up occasionally. Once I checked the pool it was running against and it had been submitting work right up until the moment I tried to use the machine (thus waking the monitor). It's a weak hypothesis, but who knows...

My 5x 750 ti rig is giving me huge headaches. Sad I'm running all 5 on powered risers and 6 pin connectors on a 750W RM corsair PSU. Asrock h81 btc pro mobo. 8gb RAM. Latest Nvidia drivers.

Is anyone getting huge lag/computer freezes when running multiple 750 Tis (5+) in one instance? I'm running windows 8.1 64 bit, and starting up all 5 at once freezes the PC (sometimes it's huge lag, sometimes I need to reboot, sometimes cudaminer crashes). Seems to only work with regular scrypt without freezing/crashing 100% of the time. I get 250 khs/card mining LTC at stock. I'm about to switch to Windows 7 to see if that changes anything.

If i don't use autotune, TDP usage seems to be pretty low (~850 khs for 5 cards), config: -l T5x24 -C 1 -H 0 -i 0
W/ autotune, I get low 80% TDP. 99% GPU usage.

Also any bit of OC to my cards (EVGA 750 ti ftw) seems to crash cudaminer about 10+ mins later (even "low" ones of +20 core, +200 mem). I don't know how other people seem to get huge clocks with these cards..

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Will throw 10 VTC anyone who can get me up and running stable at ~300+khs/card... Feel free to PM. Thanks!   


I suspect that the Nvidia driver for W8.1x64 has a bug because I have 6x750 Ti's and I ran into the exact same thing.

Swap over to W7x64 and use settings: -l T5x24 -H2 -i 0 -C 1 -m 1
...I haven't really seen much difference between -m1 and no flag at all.

Use the x86 version of cudaminer when doing this on W7x64.

Finally, for whatever reason, Chrome running in the background with some Flash or HTML5 app (e.g. YouTube) gives a small boost.

Now you're good to go.

I really wanted this to work on W8.1x64 as well, but I think between MSFT/Nvidia/Cudaminer status quo, we're stuck with W7x64 for more than 2 cards running simultaneously.

Interesting. I have (3) GTX 750Ti and (1) GTX 780Ti on W8.1x64 and have not seen any issues. What motherboard are you running? Maybe it's a chipset driver issue rather than video card (my Win8.1 machine is on an old Asus P6T Deluxe for the record).

First, try -H 2 instead of -H 0. Here's what I use to get ~300 kh/s per card (7 of the same card you have) with a +600 mem overclock (+0 GPU, GPU doesn't make as much difference on these cards and crashes quickly for me with any kind of OC):

cudaminer.exe -H 2 -i 0 -m 1 -b 4096 -l T5x24

Keep in mind when comparing overclock numbers with others on this thread that your card is already at +169 GPU and +183 mem over a stock 750ti. Any overclocks you do are on top of that.

Edit: Oh, and use the x86 version of cudaminer, it's about 5% faster than the x64 for these cards running scrypt.

Just an FYI as it seems getting more than 6 cards running in one system has been problematic for folks.

I'm now running (7) EVGA GTX 750Ti FTWs on an ASRock Fatil1ty Z87 Killer motherboard (Win7 x64). I had some problems getting normal risers to work (required jumping the vga presence pin), but USB risers have worked flawlessly without needing a jumper. Just make sure to disable the onboard video. If anyone wants more details, I'm happy to share.

Hi, I'm new to the forums and crypto mining in general. But I thought I'd share the performance results of some riser testing I did.

Specs:
EVGA GTX 750Ti FTW (has 6 pin power connector)
Intel G3220 on ASRock Fatil1ty Z87 Killer

Conservative overclock: +50 GPU, +500 Memory

And the results (scrypt):
Baseline (plugged straight into x16 slot): 290-299 kh/s

Non-powered x1-x16 in x1 slot: 270-280 kh/s
Powered x1-x16 in x1 slot: 272-282 kh/s
USB powered x1-x16 in x1 slot: 270-277 kh/s
USB powered x1-x16 in x16 slot (gen 1): 266-269 kh/s
USB powered x1-x16 in x16 slot (gen 2): 288-295 kh/s
USB powered x1-x16 in x16 slot (gen 3): 288-297 kh/s
Non-powered x16-x16 riser: 292-297 kh/s

As you can see, there's not much penalty for the riser as long as you're able to plug into a gen2+ x16 slot. If you're plugging into an x1 or gen1 x16 slot, there's a 10-15% performance penalty.

I hope this information proves useful.

Edit: Command line was: cudaminer.exe -H 2 -i 0 -m 1 -l T5x24 --benchmark
