pool communication failure?

[jjshabadoo]

Jeez, i just had to restart my rig and cgminer starts without issue and then shits the bed when longpolling tries to start and I get a pool communication failure.

I tried to turn off some bios settings to save wattage on my ASUS P8P67 WS motherboard and this error starts.

pool 0 communication failure and then my internet connection fails. Port is working and works fine after reboot and then fails once I start cgminer.

Any ideas?

Okay, reset bios defaults and looks okay.

Never touch mining rigs again unless they break or stop mining.

Geez man, this is going to kill me...lol.

What particular setting did you modify within the BIOS?

I just used the reset to default. F5 I believe for that mobo.

I'm sick of f''in around at this point and don't have the time. If BTC drops below $2 I will need to reconsider efficiency, screw it until then. 100% up time is my goal.

I'm buying some used parts for a practice/test rig that will go on my tech bench. When my patience has been restored, I plan on using that to slowly test settings, etc.

I'll be happy to pass on anything I learn from those tests.
