      Here is what happened. I just restarted my computer and bam it would not start mining again. I believe I was using 13.4 drivers which people said had problems, so i decided to switch that out to no avail, and I still get the connecting message. This was also strange since I haven’t made any changes in a while but right on reboot it stopped. This is also on more than one pool and also mining litecoin (4gpus 50/50) all have the same problems. I have also reinstalled windows to see if that would help anything and no dice, then i just started trying all sorts of drivers the only one I got to work was 13.6b2 but that had limited success with hashrates all over the place ranging from 100-250 on 7950’s that previously had around 600kh/s. Note I am using CGminer via Guiminer. Then I had to restart another mining comp and it is now experiencing the same problems. I only have one computer currently mining and I fear that if i restart him as well he will not turn back on…

      Edit currently got 13.6v2 to give me some sort of hashrate again but the display drivers crash when i start minning

        I’ve seen a few posts around with this problem, for example
        http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?topic=2789.0

        So you can’t just uninstall the drivers you need use AMD Catalyst Un-install Utility to clean your system, them reinstall your drivers.

        AMD Catalyst Un-install Utility
        http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/catalyst-uninstall-utility.aspx

        By the way I’m using 13.1 drivers and followed tacotime’s post here
        https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150331.0
        to get my rig working with guiminer-scrypt.

        Let me know if that works.

          on one machine GUI miner just out right crashes and the other it isn’t making any progress, This was after I used amd uninstaller then reinstalled 12.8 and the driver SDK. I think this has something either to do with windows or my router. Although basically nothing has changed and the computer I have yet to reboot is still running fine. Something changed I just have no idea what.
          The only thing that got any sort of khash was 13.6v2 and that crashed the display drivers and was running too little to even regester on coinotron or litecoinpool

            Hmm im at a loss, problem still occurs even when you have reformated/reinstalled windows?

            the only time this phenomenon happend to me was when i used 4 cards without powered risers, then i had fried either the 24pin connector or the pcb lanes at the bottom of mobo.
            it also accured when one of my 8pins connectors to gpu had fried (dont know how the heck this happend).

              OK so I think I’ve finally honed in on it. I just restarted the only computer thats been running and GUI miner started running again. However it wasn’t to install updates and those updates came out july 9th and that seems like it was around the time i started having these problems. I can’t remember if i installed the updates or not when i rebooted but on the machine I reinstalled I installed all the updates along with that install. So now I’m going to reinstall again without any updates and see what happens

                  Yea at this point I have reinstalled without those pesky updates and one machine works. The other however is not after a full install of windows and just 13.1 drivers and a miner sooooooooo the hunt continues for possible infinite problems at this point

                    Have you tried running just one card? Have you tried one card in each 16x pci lane? Have you tried each of your cards individually? Start there.
