Hi all, really hoping someone can help me with this issue.
Yesterday I got and started mining with a 5970,, was mining really well and had zero issues at all. Along with the 5970 im mining with a 7970 on same board and using my onboard intel chip for my display.
been mining with 7970 + 5870 with this setup for weeks with zero issues. I replaced the 5870 with 5970 and everything was smooth. Last night my power tripped while mining, and when i turned on my 5970 caused everything to fail. I couldnt even see the temp of the one core. eventually I the card is now working, on a fresh windows install, it seems to game fine and i see usage and temps on both cores.
My 7970 stills mine fine, but when i try to mine in guiminer with 5970 i see the hashes and hear the card spin up and see 99% usage on both cores but i get this error:
2013-05-18 18:02:33: Listener for "5970": stratum.ozco.in:3333 18/05/2013 18:02:33, Verification failed, check hardware! (0:1:Cypress, ac940ad4) 2013-05-18 18:14:12: Listener for "5970-1": stratum.ozco.in:3333 18/05/2013 18:14:12, Verification failed, check hardware! (0:2:Cypress, 1fc051fd)
for each share it tries to submit, cards fan spins up as usual but none of my shares are getting accepted :/, worked perfectly before. Even on fresh install of windows + drivers.

have you tried using another miner, like cgminer/phoenix?
also, this may seem stupid, but have you tried swapping the 7970 with the 5970?

^ have tried multiple miners, most just hang, only guiminer lets me see that error in console.
I have now removed all cards except the 5870, and installed catalyst 11.11 drivers and now everything i launch crashes with details APPCRASH
edit: about to format once again and load 11.2 running only 5870 and work from there

im using 12.10 on my secondary rig with a 7970 and 5870
make sure to use a fresh copy of the mining software, cgminer for instance writes a file for the cards when first run, you could always delete the file i dont remember which one it is.

Most of the 12.x drivers will with with a 7xxx and a 5xxx card. I had 12.4 humming along, but it gave me problems overclocking... I'm now on 12.8 (and the associated SDK) and it seems to work fine. If you down-grade the drivers, make darn sure you kill all the orphaned ati* files in the System32 and 64WOW directories or it will be a waste of time. Make sure when you install the drivers it shows that the video driver needs to be updated (do a custom install where you can see the individual components being installed). If it says it is already up to date (or newer) then you have left the old ATI files behind and they won't be down-graded.
You can use GPU-Z to get current driver versions on your rig if you are not sure what is currently installed\used.
