Verification failed, check hardware with every miner EXCEPT Phoenix

I've been mining for a few days now and when I first started out, I couldn't submit any shares because it always returns a "Verification failed, check hardware!" warning.

I did some googling and it seems to be a common problem. I tried everything to no avail until I tried mining with Phoenix 1.7.5. Smooth as silk.

I'm not sure what's the difference between Phoenix and the other miners. Some enlightenment, anyone?

Just posted about this in another thread! On a HD6950 I tested I was getting HW errors in GuiMiner but not in Phoenix. Im actually slightly concerned it is a HW fault and CGMiner is CRC checking the blocks when Phoenix isnt.. ie it allows bad block upload.
