[Bounty.05btc] USB drives stops/freeze/hangs [Resolved]

[digit]

after it happens the usb lockup, did you check windows logs in the event viewer? (right click on computer > manage, then event viewer > windows logs from side panel)  it should show some messages related to whats happening with the usb stick

Thats the first place i checked
USB transfers are working normally under safe mode (im on safe mode right now, Its all working fine)

Hopefully now with a way to make it work, We can work backwards to figure out whats stopping it, a "clean boot" does not work

thats a good sign, try looking at your startup and see what been added recently, and disable/remove those,  something there is probably the culprit

hijackthis log would be of some help as well,  you can post the results of the scan here

The above event log is pretty much saying something along the lines of my Bitdefender AV not being able to interact properly with "\Device\CdRom0" but even when AV is disabled it appears
Here's my Hijackthis log, "fixing" the (file missing) entries does nothing... so dont yell at me about those

Oh!, Suddenly out of nowhere a cleanboot works?!
Im going to keep ReTesting the device, I dont trust this "functionality"
Im also going to slowly enable items one at a time to figure out wtF is screwing it up

The USB devices do not work when CGMiner is running?
Run test- All clear
Run test with cgminer running - Fail
Turn off CGMiner and retest - Works
Turn on CGMiner and test - Fails
Disable GPU with CGMiner running - Fail

Seriously? Why is CGMiner doing this?! im running 3.3.0, I guess i'll go update...

[digit]

this might be irrelevant but there seems to be issues with 7 Taskbar Tweaker and false positives in BitDefender

Yeah its not relevant, They've fixed that, and i found the issue to be apparently CGMiner, I'll have to ask ckolivas whats going on... Might be something to do with new USB ASIC support?
considering that i can now Work Around this problem but not solve it, what would you say is fair pay for your efforts digit?

[digit]

i really could not say as we didnt solve it but if you consider signing up to CryptoTrade using my link that be cool,  it a new exchange that i think is gonna do well in the future

To disable USB in cgminer:
 --usb :0
To disable hotplug only but allow cgminer to scan for USB devices on startup
 --hotplug 0

You can turn hotplug on and off via the API
On:
 java API "hotplug|5"
Off:
 java API "hotplug|0"

To enable the cgminer API:
 --api-listen --api-allow W:127.0.0.1

... I've written that all in the README and API-README ...

P.S. Current cgminer is 3.3.1 ... current git is a lot more than 3.3.1

--usb :0 Worked!
Thankyou Kano!!!

--usb :0 Worked!
Thankyou Kano!!!

Also note (as I've mentioned in the cgminer thread) there are issues with some versions of libusb.
The windows version has that issue also.
That may (or may not) be part of the cause.
The next release of cgminer will have the 'non-issue' libusb in all OS versions.
Which may (or may not) help.

Im just going to bump my own thread for future referance, becuase i started pulling out my hair today when my USB drives failed to function, and i went "NOT AGAAAAIIIIN, FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU"
then thought "wait.... Again?!, I remember this happening?!, how the fuck did i solve it... what was the issue?!, Oh thats right!, i even made a thread about it because i was so Freaking lost!, where was that!"

I think other people may have this issue. Thankyou again Kano
