Using 3 cards with Win7, there are times that the cards stop mining and everything on the desktop disappear except the background. Tried disabling the OC of the cards but the problem remained.

Went back to 2.3.6 and been running 3 days now without hiccups, except for a slight increase in stales.

Try reducing the hash rate of the main card (the card connected to the display, usually the one closest to the CPU).

Is there a notification list we can subscribe to that will send e-mail notifications when new releases of cgminer are made available?

I've implemented this and put in a pull request for it.
A quick look at the code suggests that if the primary pool goes down and the next back up comes on, the priority doesn't change. Just the index is incremented.

Could somebody help me with an issue I'm having using any miner (cgminer included)?

My cards are only using 50% of their power constantly, as shown on the screenies below:





Any idea why this is happening?
My system:

- 2x 5970
- Ubuntu 11.04
- AMD SDK 2.4

Are you purposely running your intensity that low?

Are all of your GPU's running displays?

Do you use your system while mining or is this dedicated?

I would suggest only using one display and setting the intensity for that GPU to dynamic if being used or 7 if it is dedicated.  Then the GPU's that aren't driving displays set the intensities to 8 or 9 and then tinker around a bit for best performance.

But that's me,

Ok, I was being stupid. I figured it out, setting intensity to 14 solved the problem .

I would recommend reviewing the executive summary in the first post of this thread.  It has some good suggested starting points along with the most common command line switch's.

This morning I had another case of cgminer freezing on me.  The screen displayed that pool wasn't responding fast enough and was switching to pool 1 (local).  The time stamps on the screen was 6 hours prior to the current time.  The screen had stopped updating, as well, as the GPU temperature was wrong, as closing cgminer and re-opening it proved.

1.) Work on your grammar
2.) The BSoD's are Error code screens that tells you whats wrong so you can fix your machine, but if your an idiot, Then a Blue Screen of DEATH is all you think.
3.) "windows is the problem" Is a sterotypical answer from someone whom as a kid, ran windows, Got Owned, Repeatedly, And gave up.

Now i remember why you have such a heavy Ignore colour.
You Troll, And scam.

I mean really, What is the point of your post? Your bashing windows in a Mining Software thread. Get a fucking life.
