MD5(Unix) bug

[infinity432]

I'm having a weird issue with the Unix MD5 hash type. After about two minutes of running, one GPU completely drops out, and the other that continues seems to not be processing correctly.

Also, when I attempt to quit using "q" after this happens, the process hangs and ultimately becomes zombied. I only seem to have an issue with this hash type, the others I've tested seem to work fine.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Code:

sounds like a hardware defect

[KT819GM]

Downclock your cards a bit. Bad mhz/vcore voltage ratio or bad power supply.

my first guess would have been that the hashing algorithm you are trying to attack is highly iterated and as a result of that, excessive load on your GPUs might cause them to hang or drop out.

second possibility is of a driver issue, make sure you are running the latest release of ATI Catalyst.

Are you able to successfully run the attacks with other slow algorithms like Wordpress, PHPBB3, WPA/WPA2 and so on.

Try to decrease the values for --gpu-loop and --gpu-accel and see if that helps.

I dropped my clocks to stock 850MHz and it looks like it's stable now. Thanks!

hm, cayman running at 950Mhz... classic asic hang caused by overclocking
