If you have a question it's helpful to provide as much info as possible. What motherboard? What power supply? How are they connected? To what PCI-E slots? With what power connections? Does windows see the card in device manager or nothing at all? Have you tried detect hardware changes? Have you installed the latest catalyst drivers? Are your cards in crossfire? Are you using dummy plugs?
Actually that's probably it right there. No dummy plug. Build a dummy plug or plug your monitor in and see if the card works. Done. /thread.

I would love to use linux on my miner box, but I can't underclock the memory of my EAH5850 on the penguin platform. So, for me, Windows gives me better performance than linux at the end.

Check the device manager. Now windows is detecting all 4 cards,but GUI miner won't load up now..... 1 problem after another... Any more help would be greatly appreciated and given a 1 BTC reward for the person who solves it. make sure its not running hidden, aka look in process manager couple times when closing mine it removed icon from tray but kept running for some reason, had to manually kill it. |

I would restart the computer, then when it boots up, i try to load the GUI up, and it'll show the Icon on the bottom right, then the GUI doesn't load up, as I scroll to the GUi it just disapears... And windows does detect all 4 cards, and catalyst shows all 4 cards too... any idea how to fix this? |
