I just starting with mining today I have everything set up for slush pool on GUIMiner - v2012-12-03 . I'm not sure what is wrong but this is what the console says

2013-06-21 01:37:26: Listener for "GPU Miner" started
2013-06-21 01:37:28: Listener for "GPU Miner": stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 21/06/2013 01:37:28, checking for stratum...

Quote from deepceleron on bitcoin talk

This is your GPU returning invalid hashes from it's kernel. This is because new drivers are crap for older cards.

  • Uninstall AMD APP SDK

  • Uninstall AMD Catalyst Install manager: choose "uninstall all software", make sure you have only a VGA driver after restart.

  • Manually remove these files not removed by the installer; any other obvious ATI files with the same file date:
    C:\Windows\System32\amdocl64.dll C:\Windows\System32\amdoclcl64.dll C:\Windows\System32\OpenCL.dll C:\Windows\SysWOW64\amdocl.dll
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\amdoclcl.dll C:\Windows\SysWOW64\OpenCL.dll

  • Install just the Catalyst 11.11 driver package (no SDK is needed; the AMD APP runtime is included with driver)

  • Mine just a bit slower on your 6870 than a 5830 would.

Better: - use cgminer - set phatk worksize to 256 and underclock GPU RAM to 300MHz for best power efficiency and higher hashrate

The big thing to take away from this: set phatk worksize to 256 and underclock GPU RAM to 300MHz for best power efficiency and higher hashrate

A suggestion i can give you is that bitcointalk can be a great place to find the answer to a lot of off the wall questions related to bitcoin or any alt-coin.
