OK, I am a new miner of just over two days (I'll post in the introduce yourself section in a bit). For the second day in a row, I have come home and have apparently not been mining anything from a little after I left the computer the night before.
Yesterday, I just figured the computer had gone to sleep so I set it to never sleep. Today I got home and pyminer had something about a communications problem in the status bar, my hash rate was saying 998GH/s (I wish, normally 126M). My pool page shows no blocks submitted during that time. Internet was accessible. The standby mode for the monitor is set at 10 minutes. Could that be causing it? This is on Windows 7 with a 6770.
I restarted pyminer and it appears to be running normally. If it did do any work during that time, it's gone
Thanks
