|

+Q: BFGMiner stops mining (or my GPUs go DEAD) and I can't close it?
|
|
|
|
|
+A: Once the driver has crashed, there is no way for BFGMiner to close cleanly.
|
|
|
|
|
+You will have to kill it, and depending on how corrupted your driver state has
|
|
|
|
|
+gotten, you may even need to reboot. Windows is known to reset drivers when they
|
|
|
|
|
+fail and BFGMiner will be stuck trying to use the old driver instance.
