Hi to all!
I'm requesting your help because I don't know what more to do to mine LTC with my two cards. I've tried a lot of software and configurations with no results (resets, blue screens, etc). So I would really appreciate if someone with the same cards could give me some light in my darkness…

This is my rig:
Pentium 4 3.00 overclocked to 3.45
8 Gb RAM
Asus P5NT WS Motherboard (3 PCI-E)
GPU AMD 5870
GPU AMD 7850
Windows 7 Ultimate in a Corsair SSD 32Gb (Nova series V32)
Liquid Refrigeration for the CPU and GPU's
Corsair GS 800 Power Supply
Latest AMD and SDK drivers. Also 12.8 and 2.7

Thank you!

99% of all blue screens are from a failure in memory. Try removing a stick of memory at a time and maybe you'll find a bad stick.

Thank you gadman2 for your response.

The blue screen appeared only a few days ago, when changing AMD drivers and trying to mine. Anyway I'll test the RAM.

Seems the Motherboard has gen 1 Pci-e 16x slots. You will need at least gen 2.0 Smiley

Thanks for all your responses…

All the software I've tried to mine freezes when started the two cards.

Seems the Motherboard has gen 1 Pci-e 16x slots. You will need at least gen 2.0 Smiley

Really? These are the specifications: 3 x PCIe x16 slot, support NVIDIA® SLI™ technology, at x8, x8,x16 or x16, x1, x16 speed

Maybe shall I switch to Linux? It would be easier?
