Hello guys,
I have my shiny new rig and I decided to mine using Ubuntu 12.04. I actually found this forum really helpful, and would like to reply to some post explaining my configuration for auto-start services and /usr/bin/screen. It works like a charm from that point of view and I am really happy with it.

The only problem I have, apart from overheating, is that cgminer doesn't recognize one of the two cards, disabling it at startup.
The message it spits out is:

Code:
 [P]ool management [G]PU management [S]ettings [D]isplay options [Q]uit
 GPU 0:  41.0C 2861RPM | OFF   / 0.000h/s | A:0 R:0 HW:0 U:0.00/m I:19
 GPU 1:  70.0C 2932RPM | 359.3K/1.572Mh/s | A:0 R:0 HW:0 U:0.00/m I:19

As you can see, to keep the temperature low, I just mine at around 360-400 kH/s at the moment.
How can I debug the problem? I have already checked the crossfire settings and the cards are NOT in
crossfire at the moment (I read that it is not necessary).

Thanks for your help guys!

How much RAM does your system have? I too have this problem, 3x7950 with 2GB RAM. I suspect this is not enough.

It is a 4 GB system. I solved the error lowering the --thread-concurrency parameter to 8192...
Now I have another problem though...the engine freq on one card is always stuck to 300MHz...don't know why...

And this is the really weird thing (frequencies @ 300MHz  Huh) :

Code:
GPU 1: 302.2 / 211.2 Kh/s | A:3  R:0  HW:6  U:2.03/m  I:15
50.0 C  F: 6% (1016 RPM)  E: 300 MHz  M: 150 Mhz  V: 0.950V  A: 0% P: 0%
Last initialised: [2013-05-07 18:51:27]
Intensity: 15
Thread 1: 357.8 Kh/s Enabled ALIVE

Below with the conservative conf with --thread-concurrency 8192, -I 15 (going to 84-85 very quickly on GPU 0).
Code:
 [P]ool management [G]PU management [S]ettings [D]isplay options [Q]uit
 GPU 0:  73.0C 3023RPM | 190.6K/233.5Kh/s | A:0 R:0 HW:0 U:0.00/m I:15
 GPU 1:  49.0C 2316RPM | 190.9K/241.9Kh/s | A:1 R:0 HW:0 U:3.82/m I:15

Here another weird thing. All the load on the second (the 0 is OFF), but the sensor reports 93 for the first.

Code:
 [P]ool management [G]PU management [S]ettings [D]isplay options [Q]uit
 GPU 0:  93.0C 4799RPM | OFF   /129.1Kh/s | A:2 R:0 HW: 6 U: 0.53/m I:15
 GPU 1:  53.0C 1017RPM | 524.8K/300.1Kh/s | A:4 R:0 HW:15 U: 1.06/m I:19
