im typing this from memory, start bgminer, press g , press d to disable ocl0 or gpu0 press any key press any key press s press w.. and restart .. its been a while.. but i can be wrong.. let me know if it worked
Thanks for the reply, and yup your memory is correct! That is the manual way to disable the OCL, which works if I'm there. But I was looking to do it automatically during startup .bat or within the .conf file so the rig could recover perfectly if there is a power loss or I remote restart it.
After extensive searching / reading I found an old post, Jul 8, 2013 by LukeJr to be exact, how to disable the OCL within the .bat file command line.
The command is -S opencl:noauto which placed in the .bat command line disables BFGMiners OCL mining option all together, and does not interfere with the "other" program I use with the GPU to mine with.
Strange that I found no reference to that command in the docs that were include with the BFGminer packs. Oh well, got it anyways. Hopefully this post will help someone if they have the same issue I had.
