Hey bitcointalk members, I'm new and trying to setup cgminer.  I'm running a macbook with windows and it has an AMD Radeon 6750m.  I have 11.12 drivers installed with the package that includes opencl.  I was wondering if this is normal, my screen seems to hang like this:

I'm running this as my config:

"cgminer -o http://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u XXXXXSECRETUSERNAMEXXXXX -p password"

I would like to get this sorted because I just blew 2000 USD on a massive quad GPU rig that has not arrived yet.  Haha, help me!!

looks like you need to lower the thread count or the intensity.  TC of 8192 seems to work for most cards. You should start there.

The code is "Thread-concurrency 8192"

Thanks!

So now my bat file looks like this: cgminer -o http://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u #@#%@#% -p password --thread-concurrency 8192

It's showing the same message, I'm going to try and resintall my drivers with the AMD driver removal tool.  Any other suggestion welcome!

So I installed 12.4 drivers after a clean wipe.  It's still doing the same thing.  When I add -I 6 or -I 9 it just goes blank. 

Really confused here...

That is normally what happens when it crashes try running it with no intensity in place. In fact try running it with no I, TC , GPU eingine, or clock

Cgminer will pick all that for you if you leave it blank

I logged into my pool and noticed I had stats.

So I guess its working?  But not displaying the info about my card and speed?

You gotta know that. What you really need to know is the temp. you can add a line in cgminer for a temp target and a temp cutoff be sure to add those.
