I don't get it...can anyone give a proper solution?

The Watchdog issue is very frustrating and even if I disable the WD function it's not a solution the hasrates drops anyway.

For the last hole week (over 160h) I could mine without an issue but now its back again.
WATCHDOG HANGS IN OPENCL CALL, you need to restart the miner
WATCHDOG: GPU error, you need to restart your miner

A "Restart" never work... I need to reboot my hole system and restart everything new...this can't be.


BTW I did no changes in Bios/OC/Windows/Hardware or anything else after the last week. Riser are also OK.
I've performed only a system restart because I wanted to plott my hard disk.

If I restart my system 10-20 times after that error occured (what can be after some minutes or even hours) it will work probably for a longer time...but this can't be the way.


Appriciate about any help.


@Claymore
Do you know what can cause that issue? Could you change something in the next miner version?
Hope something can be done... it's unbelievable frustrating.


Thanks in advance.

Hello. I had the same problem for about 3 days, but atleast got it resolved. What i did was i:
*Shut off the aero theme functions in windows 10 (if you use windows)
*Disconnected all the gpu¨s, used DDU to uninstall drivers in safe mode, then reinstall drivers by connecting the gpu´s one by one and installing one by one.
*Make sure you have not made any overclocking/undervolting in MSI afterburner.
*Set the commands -etha 0 ,-gser 2-r 0, -dcri 7 and -dbg 1 in the claymore run file.
*Reinstall operative system.
*Set virtual memory to atleast 16gb

The steps are not in order, but atleast one of this fixes solved it for me. I had the exact same problem with the computer freezing and so on, so try these steps if you have not already. If it does not work it probaly is faulty hardware :/
