gpu watchdog does not work - ati card fried - ploink - 03-13-2012

when using windows 32 bit version oclhashcat-plus through the gui version then gpu-watchdog gets disabled no matter what
(i also tried directly from a batch file)

which means my ati card just got fried...

maybe a thing like that would be nice to fix?

considering you are the first person to ever bring this up can you provide a screen shot of the command window and gui while running?

yes of course
the screenshot is here (just the cmd window though)

i did however find out why
apparently it happens when you run it over a remote desktop session
i guess the rdp screws it up..

also the card seems to work fine again after i put it in another machine.

this is your own fault mate! you specified --gpu-watchdog=90 while it should be --gpu-watchdog 90 (without the = char).

Also, if you take a closer look at the initialization text you see "Watchdog: Temperature limit disabled".
