ok, so i have two different gpu mining programs for bitcoin, 50Miner and GuiMiner, and every time i try to mine on any server or solo it gives me this notification "verification error, please check hardware" but all my drivers are up to date for the HD7000 series, i have two 7770's and an FX6100, but my cpu mines fine, but is very slow compared to the gpu's, anyone know a fix for it, im using the 13.3 beta 3 driver, it gives the same error on 13.1, so it isn't the driver. any help would be nice.

My System

CPU - 3570K@4.4Ghz | CPU Cooler - Corsair H100 in pull | Motherboard - ASUS P8Z77-V PRO | RAM - G.Skill RipJawX Blue 8GB 2133Mhz | GPU - Gigabyte Windforce X3 HD7970 | SSD - Patriot Pyro SE 120GB | HDD Seagate Barracuda 3TB | PSU - Corsair TX850V2 | Case - Bitfenix Shinobi XL

Uhhh considering that bitcoin is for profit and this is the F@H and BOINC forum at LTT I don't think that help would be something received here.
there is a bitcoin post already, i run F@H to, and it does the same thing, so i can't do either

A bitcoin post doesn't automatically make this a bitcoin forum what makes you assume this? And if you are running F@H talk about that and not bitcoin because in the current state this forum is for F@H and BOINC and no where does it state its for Bitcoin. Also post your problem if you're having one with F@H because I very much doubt that the error message "verification error, please check hardware" from Bitcoin is also applicable on F@H.

Well - we will see what we can do to help - friendly bunch, we are. :) You say you get the error also with FAH? What version are you running and what is it doing? Just sitting idle?

Are you overclocking the CPU or GPU?

Got this from another forum:

If this is a mine-only machine using HD 5xxx-HD6xxx hardware, I would recommend using the ATI driver package 11.11 with it's included OpenCL (you must first manually remove the current driver and remove some files manually that aren't removed by the install). Then CGMiner or Phoenix software instead of GUIMiner, plus underclock your GPU memory to 300MHz.

Also - disable crossfire?

FYI - This seems to be a pretty common error with Bitcoin...

well, it seems to have fixed itself, since all the DDoS attacks im assuming it just wasn't stable atm, but im running both gpu's without a problem now, 277 MH/s, and F@H is working too, so it must have been a minor glitch somewhere, my HDD seems to be acting up lately, and i only got it in September, il just contact Seagate and see what they say about it, i think it must have fregmented something when it was reading it
