BAMT question!

[craked5]

Hello guys! ok so i decided to run BAMT on my 2 machines. The problem is after i configured my bamt.conf file it wont start mining, instead a red screen appears and it says "A fault as been found on GPU X".
Please help is really needed, Thanks

I would start by trying 1 GPU and start the rig. If everythings run smooth then add another GPU and restart. If BAMT report a faulty GPU then you know where to look for. Also try with stock speed if you are overcloking.

I had one GPU that didn't overclock and it was a faulty connection with the PCIe extender.

[craked5]

I did all that! i have two rigs, one with 3 5XXX cards and another with a 5870. It doesnt work in either rig.
I tried stock clocks, default miner settings, everything basically. It mines fine on Windows 7, so it really must be something im doing wrong.

[01BTC10]

Try what I did. Send a donation to BAMT author and ask in the BAMT thread.

[craked5]

ok i have done that! thanks for the replies 

[craked5]

Ok so i contacted the developer and he asks for high assistance fees. Can anyone else help me in this case please?

Post your bamt.conf

Code:

# Big A Miner Thing configuration
# /etc/bamt/bamt.conf

# When done editing, restart mining to make changes here take effect
# If you're just setting up BAMT, be sure to edit pools as well.
#
# As of 0.5, many less common options have been removed from this
# default config to make it easier on the noobs.

Ok its basically the simple config file with some gpus configured.
Thanks

[01BTC10]

Open a terminal and type:

Code:

 sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt

To see if you can access your card. You should see GPU model and temp.

[Red Emerald]

Only thing about the config I see that might be causing trouble is AGGRESION=15

Also, I'd recommend either having monitor_load_lo OR monitor_hash_lo since one will probably never go off without the other also going off. I just have load enabled for me.

yes mate, i can see the cards and the corresponding temps!

Well i tried with AGG=11/9 and its not doing anything. I will only enable load to check.
Thanks for the help!

Are you sure your GPU isn't faulty?

[TechCF]

My suggestion is to switch to cgminer (bamt comes with it, just edit your bamt.conf file to enable it, and enable it on the gpus). BAMT with the default phoenix would not work for me (as one of my GPUs is an AMD APU unit). GPUMON will not show that you are mining, but press the 0 key and the screen session for cgminer will be shown.
