Well got two R9 290's acting weird. If I start cgminer, it will keep at its hash, but if I restart cgminer, it always has a low hashrate and drivers start crashing? Why?

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

I've had same issue on other cards when the drivers crash and you restart cgminer you won't get the normal hash rate till you reboot the computer. You might be too aggressive with your timing you might want to dial it back.

I also have two MSI 290's and every time I exit/quit cgminer my computer also crashes. I've tested them on Ubuntu and Windows 7: both produce a crash (BSoD in Windows). I'm hoping it's a driver issue that will be corrected soon.

Must be the driver issue, sometimes happens with 7xxx series cards too.
