so i recently got into bitcoin mining. however my system is not the most stable. with crashing freezing being common (somebody, not saying who. bought pre-owned GFX cards and 2/4 have intermittent issues) the biggest problem i'm having is when i boot up a computer from a crash more times or not windows files went currpt and system recovery tries to fix. but usually ends in me having to re-install.
i'm not too keen on text base OS so most linux OS won't do so well with me. also a lot of the text base miner programs also as this post probably proves. grammar/spelling, not my strong point.
the OS i'm currently using is Windows 7
the big question is.. Is it possible to have a redundant install. basically a dual copy of all OS files. but with only 1 OS install so no dual-boot screen etc and the OS can run from a "copy" file if something is wrong with the primary. and once it boots. it will recover the damaged file. i don't know if such a system exists. the only thing this system will be doing is mining. so iv considered just having a HDD image of the setup calibrated. all presets in miner filled and such. and just use a ghost program to recover that upon crashes. that may be faster than a complete re-install? any suggestions welcome.
PS: anyone in the cincinati area know someone who drives a yellow handa convertible. get my money back, only 2 of these cards was worth it.. never buying used crap off cregslist agan...
PSS: wanted to post this in the proper thread. however it seems i can only post in the newbie thread. how do i lose "newbie" status?
