I can't run CGMiner or Guiminer (my first choice) on my brand new mining rig. 4GB Ram appears to be the culprit- Windows boots up fine runs fine, install CGMiner or Guiminer, check- but then "connection problems" is the error it throws when I fire up the miner. Internet works fine, FF works fine, downloading fine.. so it isn't a "connection problem" obviously.
What works.. I replace the 4GB ram stick (yes in the right mb slot) with an 8gb one and presto! mining! All parts are brand new, and I even tried replacing the 4gb with a higher quality one, same thing happens! The ram is nearly identical as far as I can tell but only the 8gb stick works? Can someone please tell me why?
The 8gb stick is borrowed from another system and needs to go back to it. I really just wanted the 4gb stick to work.
specs: Windows 7 64 ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AMD Sempron X2 190 4X Sapphire R9 290x 2x Corsair 650 gold rated psu with adapter and risers.
RAM not working: CORSAIR 4GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 Vengeance XMP Memory PC12800, CL9-9-9-24
Ram Working: Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 Black Vengeance Memory 2x8GB, PC3-12800, CL9-9-9-24, XMP 1.3
any help please...
