"No JSON object could be decoded" error, help!

[jctusmc03]

I'm getting the error message in the title every time I try to start a miner in GUIMINER.

I can't figure out how to fix it and I've tried everything I can think of, google doesn't seem to be of much help either. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I would start by giving just a bit more information, like what video card you are trying to run and what driver do you have installed, which "miner" are you trying to run in guiminer, what pool are you trying to connect to, etc.

It is likely that all the above are kerfuffled and kerplugeoned, I would start by verifying the pool information - miner/worker user password, correct IP/port for mining (not stratum mining), etc.

Google gave me over 400 results for site:bitcointalk.org "No JSON object could be decoded"

I'm using my latest custom built computer with following specs:

Corsair Carbide 500R: 1200w PSU, Asus P8Z77-V - i7 3770K @ 4.6ghz(1.35v) w/ Corsair H100 - 16GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-19200
|:| Video: 2x Gigabyte GV-R797OC-3GD @ 1150
|:| Displays: 2x Dell Ultrasharp U3011 - LG 47LM7600
|:| Audio: Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty - Logitech Z906 - Audio-Technica ATH-M50 w/ FiiO E10
|:| HDD's: Crucial M4 512GB SSD - 3x 3TB Seagate Baracuda - 2x 3TB Seagate Baracuda External
|:| Peripherals: Logitech: MX518 - G19"

I've checked my pool information and login information and it's also all correct. I've also tried around 10-15 of the google results and none seem to be working.

Edit: And no, the cards aren't in crossfire.
