new to mining, started last week.  now having problem just getting claymore to start.  start.bat file runs and exits.  no log file, even with -dbg 1.  I tried reinstalling latest AMD drivers, disabling all antivirus and firewall, enabling exceptions.

mining with an Rx 480 4gb on windows 10 x64, 8GB ram, G3268, 16GB page file.

start.bat which has worked for the last week is:
Quote
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal MYWALLETADDY -esm 0 -epsw x -asm 2 -estale 0 -dcri 1

again running start.bat, no log file and it quickly exits.  I've tried coping CL options to config.txt and just running EthDcrMiner64.exe and it just exits.  also tried starting new from unzipping zip download and editing start.bat.

the last time it ran it crashed with the following error (last portion of log as it is long)

what happened before that crash was I trying to generate a musicoin address by running their client wallet app (fyi the win x64 version is bugged, use x32) and the associated app gmc.exe was fully loading my cpus, system sluggish.  I was running claymore in the background and hash rate drop to 1Mh/s and my gpu temps had gone to idle temps. tried to control-c and not sure if it exited or just closed on its own.

Any ideas what is wrong?  or what to try?  hard to debug with no log or error indication.

It was working for just over a week and I had started and stopped several times.  no change to start.bat.

Thank you in advance.
