Quick .1BTC reward For Help!

[Ace5high]

I do have a thread in newbies section, but this is a technical issue and hoping I can get some better help here.

Backstory:

Been using guiminer for several months on slushs pool perfectly fine and well with my hd6950. Added another hd6950 3 days ago and for 1 day they both ran perfectly normal for a day. After 1 day of using both cards at some point guiminer simply stopped accepting shares. I made no changes, and nothing wrong with my hardware. Ive tried driver updated/reinstalls, deleting bitcoin qt and guiminer and reinstalling but nothing works... I simply get the same "hardware error message" shown below. CGminer will not run either.


Error:

You can try to mine at other pool and take me a reply





Or uniinstall all drivers from AMD and install it back. That can work for you.

Make sure your firewall/antivirus isn't blocking any of your miner's files or connections. Also, try setting power slider in CCC to 20% and see what happens.

[bitman442]

Also, have you tried mining without Stratum? Just to see if it works.

This is not connection problem. (cgminer dont send anything), this is drivers problem i think. If this don`t work, pls pull off all cards and check separately each.

Only thing that was changed when it stopped running was some recent windows updates, one of which was a new IE version... I don't know if that could have effected it?

How do I do that? I'm sorry im not very technical and don't understand all the file syntax...

I removed the cards and went back to my old setup with just the 1 card and it still gave the same error. I have since updated to new drivers and SDK versions... I read in only one other thread I found on this similar matter that it was driver related, that is why I have been experimenting with different drivers but I still haven't found any that worked

Hello,

Would you go to 'run' on your computer and type in %appdata% please.
Could you tell me if you see something like 'cgminer' or could you private message me everything you see..I can't remember the name of the file.

Change the address to stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333

Problem solved.

It was the drivers, not the miners, all three failed terribly gui, CG and bfgminer all did same things or crashed...

I did a total uninstall of the ADM drivers (cleaned out reg and all) and then had to install old drivers 11.11 and now its working but hashrate is slow with these drivers

hmm, well I'm glad you sorted it out after all,hopefully you will find a solution to your hashing rate.

Pls try to run BAMT Linux and check hashrate

Problem was solved (drivers) and you now minigng at low hash rate, now we have new problem

What driver version were you on before? I am on the 13.3 beta and it is working good. Also, I know I already said this but try changing the power slider to +20% in Overdrive and see what happens. My 7950 will only mine at about half speed if I don't turn that up.

13.3 was one I did not try but then again I believe the issue was with maybe just "older" cards 69xx series?

Drivers I confirmed that do not work are:  13.4, 13.5, 13.1, 12.10, 12.8, 12.4, 12.1

I noticed on most of the above the actual drivers themselves were all the 8.982.0.0 card drivers, so im guessing any version of the catalyst that uses that driver doesn't work... The ones on the 11.11v that are now working (but s bit slower) are 8.961.0.0...
