bfgminer starts and dies and starts again in an endless cycle of samsara

edited April 2017 in bfgminer for Mac OS X
Hello, I was hoping I could get some guidance on how to get bfgminer working on my machine. Here are my specs:
OS X 10.10.5
AMD FirePro D500 3072 MB GPU
3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5 CPU

I think I have CPU Miner working, I'm getting hash rates for each thread in the output terminal. Though it always displays "0 KH" and "Stating..." in the GUI

    What's the output of bfgminer when you try to mine? Are you using GPU or ASIC?

    I'm using GPU. The output I get at first is "bfgminer has started. The primary pool is set to stratum+tcp://stratum.slushpool.com:3333 and the user is set to" my worker id. The output says: "[2017-05-08 13:26:26] Started bfgminer 5.4.2-unknown

    Then I get "Settings changed. Your miner was restarted automatically after a sudden stop at 13:27:33."

    Does this help?

    Hmm, doesn't look as though it's really getting started. Try setting the Intensity very low to see whether that'll let it get started and look around to see what worksize/intensity settings other people are using with the FirePro D500.

    I ran with a lower intensity and enabled debugging output and here are some errors I got back after tossing out what looked okay:

    Error -54 is often associated with too high an intensity, you could try minus values… The trashcan Mac Pro probably isn't a great machine to mine with, having a 'thermally constrained' design.

    Hi,

    How would I be able to tell if it is actually using the usb miner I have plugged in or just the one in my computer?

    Also I see Mh is moving but in the accepted field it stays 0 can someone explain any of this.

    very new to this.

    Thanks

  • FabulousPandaFabulousPanda
    Check the log in the miner window and the API Output window for more detailed output. Sometimes 0 accepts means you're not mining fast enough to solves shares which sound like the case if you're mining Bitcoin in Mh rather than Gh/Th

    Intensity is set to 1 and if I set it to 2 it crashes instantly.
