Hello friends, there is only one possible way, under Windows is the Zero Miner not really suitable, I have many days to healthy to solve the problem,

A) Ubuntu Linux 16.04
B) Nvidia driver
C) no more problems

On Windows, it seems to be a driver problem because the virtual memory is practically useless.

best regards

Good to know, I'm on Radeon/Windows and she's pretty stable, only if i start messing with settings opening and closing the miner multiple times do i get a hangup. Pagefile is important though, as is RAM to a lesser extent. Usually you want to keep pagefile to 1.5 times your RAM at most, and people may have presets limiting the amount of HD space it will use which will crash the miner on startup if you don't have enough allocated. the 1.5 number is just rule of thumb, you can go way beyond that but it comes at a cost of stability, and either way the more pagefile you use say ~32gb, the more you bottleneck your data speeds when doing anything else should you also use it for browsing/entertainment. also having a lot of pagefile will reduce it's lifespan by a bit. all in all having too little = bad. having more than enough = it just works normally.

This is why I recommend having a separate drive handle the pagefile only if you can help it, but ultimately not necessary and in a healthy rig with a healthy amount of ram and a modern HDD, you shouldn't notice a difference. you could always do the USB file transfer test too and see how much it slows down when the miner is running.

and also, don't use an SSD for pagefile, maybe for video games and normal computer stuff it's okay but when you're taxing it with ~30gb and it will not last very long. On the other hand I know Linux handles swapfile much more nicely, but i still wouldn't use that amount on an SSD.

You agree 100%, but under windows 10 Prof. 64 had the increase of the virtual memory no effect,
Also retrofit the physical memory
Or moving the pagefile.sys to an empty HDD was useless
Only the change to Linux brought success.

Shit WINDUMB :-)

Ha Ha yeah, well, i guess its Nvidia then, i'm aware it takes up much more CPU power for instance. My guess is that the windows geforce drivers aren't playing nice with the internal bus NB/SB. Maybe motherboard BIOS? I don't have an Nvidia rig to test it out though, but I would recommend a "newer" paging Hard drive that was designed after a time workstations only had 4gb of ram.

maybe playing with the sector size could be better for stability and/or even performance in the form of consistency, but again in the wild world of pagefile, everything depends.

also my assumption is the processor utilization,
But this comes from the interplay (Low CPU - Strong GPU - not optimal programming Mining software.) I had previously 6 x GPU Gtx 1060 with EWBF Miner with 8 GB Ram no problem, now it is 2 GTX 1080 TI with 16 GB Ram and it Runs only under Linux properly
