BAMT - Mysteriously restarting without logs?

[norulezapply]

Hi all.

I've been using BAMT for about a week now and I think it's great. Runs flawlessly more or less.

There's just one thing I noticed the other day. Every so often, my share count for one or more of my cards will reset to 0, without any explanation or noticable changes.

Does this mean BAMT has had to restart my GPU for me? Or even the entire rig?
Are there any log files anywhere that log what's happening when this occurs?

I thought I'd probably get notified via email if this happened but I couldn't figure out how to get the local SMTP server running properly and it doesn't seem to work with GMail's SMTP server. I haven't received any emails anyway. Any help with that would also be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

In any linux system, there are a bunch of log files in /var/log

No need to browse through them to check for a machine restart though, just use the "uptime" command.

You sure your thermals are ok?

Thanks. I'll check for logs tonight.

I checked with uptime and the PC hasn't restarted, but looks like my GPUs or GPUMON or something has because my shares are still occassionally resetting to 0.

My temperatures are usually around 73C, as far as im aware they don't go much higher this time of year.

I have had this happen two me in two different ways.

1. If your load on your PSU is too high, and you have your MB configured to start up when it receives power, the PSU will shut itself down and the rig will basically restart. I had this happen to me on a couple 3x5970 rigs.

2. If you have multiple pools setup in /etc/bamt/pools then bamt could be rotating between polls when they don't serve shares fast enough or just go down.

Hope this helps.
