Since Guiminer simply will not work with my 6950's Id like to try CGminer but im too dumb to set it up ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) I tired and failed and cant find any decent tutorials... Can someone point me to a tutorial or explanation on how to setup and use CGminer? Also will I be able to join slush's pool with it? Thanks for any help

Why would GUIMiner, that is a GUI front end to CGMiner not work with your cards
If that was the case cgminer wouldn't work xD

Thanks but it is not working either... I cant possibly be the only using 6950's with guiminer, since they obviously don't mix... That's a very popular mining card ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

Any reason you're choosing CGminer?

So what kind of settings are you using? Have you tried anything like this:
cgminer -I 7 -v 1 -w 256 -o stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:8332 -u pool.worker.name -p password
Obviously you need to sign up to a pool (in the example bitminter.com) and replace pool.worker.name and password to whatever you chose.

Why don't you use the miner from bitminter.com? It seems to be super easy to use, perfect for newbies. I haven't used them, I prefer eclipsemc, but they don't have the easy to use miner.

I was using guiminer on slushs pool for last several months... One day I looked at my miner and it just stopped accepting shares... Im using bitminter software now, but do not like it nearly as much. Id prefer to be back on slush or similar. Reward to anyone that helps me solve this! Reward starts at .1BTC just to help me make guiminer (which is already setup and has been working perfect, start working again)

I'm having issues with cgminer with a 5770 too. When I run it, it works unit the momento it begins gpu processing and force closes (win7 64). I'm minning with bitminter software now, but I prefer using cgminer because is more configurable for over/under clocking. Any help?

Also had this thing with closing cgminer by windows, you have to experiment with settings.

Are you using CGminer for Linux or Windows?

The SDK tools will have to be installed to mine opencl.
I would try uninstalling whatever SDK tools you have on there and figuring out how to get the tools properly installed.
There are some pretty good reads out there on getting SDK and drivers removed for a new clean install

I have two cards, 1 that works great for last 3 months of mining, and 1 brand new card that worked great for 24 hours of mining. I was "breaking in" the crossfire setup and hadn't yet overclocked anyone. Tried both card separate and neither works. Cards are both perfect. The SDK tools will have to be installed to mine opencl.

How many ways can it be installed, I did a total removal of SDK and all graphics drivers about 5 times and reinstalled using new versions, old versions and different combos of both. Still did the exact same error the whole time. Also, when it was functioning 100% correct with both cards, I never changed any drivers or SDK...
