I'm not sure how the statement above confirmed or determined Afterburner is my issue, especially when this issue occurs without it being installed. I will then, install ONLY the basic Nvidia driver tested up to last year in December just after that build was released (12/16/16 I think).Īs you will see, there will be NO MSI Afterburner NO Corsair Link - this is just Windows, GPU and drivers. I will NOT upgrade to the Creators Update due to deferment of updates closing to only 7 days. In this case, Windows 10 Pro (aka 10.0 or10240) RTM then upgrade to 1511/1607. It's a PITA to upgrade that OS because you cannot keep files and settings with that version of Windows so I'm going to start once again! So I can start with fresh Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 Enterprise. I cannot see a means to disable it in UEFI of Asus PRIME Z270M-PLUS (I'm going to trash this board soon for an X99 when I get this GPU mess resolved). I started with fresh install of Windows - with nothing but required Intel Chipset/Open CL drivers (there is on board video as I use it to drive the display not the Nvidia GPU's). *** ZEC output is not affected, I can mine ZEC with excellent Sol/s and GPU's are properly detected as well as CPU *** *** Having my wife randomly press the spacebar on an open PowerShell seems to get the thread moving again usually (on any miner for ETH or ZEC) *** *** When I did have Afterburner installed and Corsair Link, I could see the GPU drop to nothing in power when the miner is not responding properly *** What I'd really like to know is (where the hell are the log files for me to debug? The errors or crashing I will post later, because that seems to be related to the programs watchdog essentially not restarting the GPU. At first, this was attempted on Windows 10 Pro and we shall do so again. I have a two of three good screen captures of system/miner/gpu details on Windows 8.1 prior and after with Windows 10 Enterprise. Let's forget about the crashing, stability is nothing if one can't even get hashing rates where they should be. Any feedback you can provide would be awesome! Thank you! I can upgrade this semi-working rig now if you wish but I need to be able to log consistency and errors. This is problematic because my 7th generation Core i7 will only run on Windows 10 not to mention any security risks. Do you have any suggestions on what to check here? Are there any debugging options I can set (and output to log files, I asked in a different topic)? I have all my environment variables set and 16GB swap file. In this case, your miner reports the correct hash rate but again crashes randomly. I then used the same rig and downgraded to Windows 8.1 with the same driver just to see what occurs. In this case, I started with a fresh image, drivers only with Corsair and MSI Afterburner software - same result with an occasional crash in which the miner would not restart itself. This is a new install on Windows 10 Enterprise and all GPU would only report 2-3H/s with Nvidia driver 384.76 (I initially started with a 37x.xx driver from the end of 2016). Event viewer shows a few Nvidia Display driver stopped working and has recovered messages, so I am thinking this is a driver/software issues, rather than faulty hardware.I found an odd issue after I switched from ZEC to your miner for ETH. That seemed to improve matters, in the last day-ish, the connection to the GPU has only been lost twice. * rolled back the drivers from 388.71 to 384.94, Temps were in the low-to-mid-60s, so I don't think that is an issue. Unlike the handful of Goggle results that came up, my system isn't crashing or having the screen go black. In HWINFO, most of the gpu categories had become static/greyed out and Afterburnber indicated "Connection to GPU Lost". But it wouldn't be very long before I noticed that temps and other data were no longer being displayed on my keyboard's LCD screen. After installing my Asus GTX 1080 Ti on Wednesday, and updating drivers, Afterburner and HWINFO, I started mining with what I thought was a very modest overclock.
