I'm using BFG Miner under Windows 8, mining with an HD 6990 and it keeps crashing every 30 or so minutes.

Can anyone suggest what may be the issue?

I also cannot install CG Miner onto windows 8 which seems to run fine on my other rig in Windows 7 Home Edition.

In both instances I am mining LTC on coinotron.

BFG Miner is reporting the following error:

This seems to have been fixed (for now) by increasing the voltage - can anyone explain if this is a likely cause and why this is?
