TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Install Catalyst v15.12 (for AMD cards).
2. Disable overclocking.
3. Set environment variables as described above.
4. Set Virtual Memory 16 GB.
5. Reboot computer.
6. Check hardware, risers.
7. Set some timeout in .bat file before starting miner at system startup (30sec or even a minute), and try "-ethi 4" to check if it is more stable. It can help if miner is not stable on some system.


I've tried all the above steps to no avail, right after video card detection (which it is detecting properly) I get zecminer64.exe has stopped working
It wasn't suggested in your troubleshooting but I did install AMD opencl 3.0 as I had that resolve issues on another one of my rigs.  This computer is a I5-2500s with 8GB and an R9 Fury.  I have put the environmental variables in the System->Advanced System Settings->Environmental variables, if this isn't where they were supposed to go please provide directions on where to put them.  I have manually set page file in windows to 18GB to exceed the 16GB minimum you listed.  When I try to use the -ethi 4 command it tells me it's not recognized.  As you can see from my batch file below I put in a 60 second timer before the script is run.  Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.

Here is my current batch file (minus my zwal)
TIMEOUT /T 60 /NOBREAK
ZecMiner64.exe -zpool us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -dbg 1 -zwal hiddentoprotecttheinnocent -zpsw x -i 8 -di 0
