Strange thing today, I went back from mining SIGT for a couple of days and when I tried to start eth or zcash mining the miners kept crashing or were showing low hashrates, some cards didn't mine at all. Rebooting did not help, resetting OC in Afterburner did not help. I am now mining XVG again (which is working fine in ccminer) and will roll back all changes I made the last days after work. My main rig did update windows this morning though, maybe I need to check what was updated. Both my main rig and my secondary rig had a firewall permission request (private or public network access) from claymore miner this morning, which is uncommon, too..
Saw this too. Some rigs I managed to mine eth and zec, used Winpatrol to erase SIGT bat from start files ( "manage start files" ), few restarts...
my problem kind of developed into a major f*ck up, I have problems with all miners (ccminer on X17 and Skunk), ethminer, ewbf zcash miner and claymore ( 9.7 + 9.8 ) since this morning and the little -whatever- automatic windows update.
After dozens of reboots, unplugging risers, removing the placeholder 1050ti and so on i can barely run some of the miners if i do not or if only slightly oc my gtx 1060s. Each "standard" oc setting (fitting the needs of the algos i used) I used up to yesterday produces a certain crash of the miner.
I always encounter some kind of memory error, e.g. "Cuda error in func 'quark_blake512_cpu_setBlock_80_sp' at line 577 : unknown error" (ccminer x17); "cannot initialize nvml. temperature monitor will not work" (ewbf zcash miner, now working on very low OC); "Error CUDA mining: an illegal memory access was encountered" (ccminer); "CUDA error - cannot allocate big buffer for DAG. Check readme.txt for possible solutions." (Claymore, changed DAG value -eres to 1)...
All cards are Gigabyte 1060s with 6GB RAM. Rolled back nvidia drivers, updated again, removed the windows security update from this morning. Nothing really works. Increased DAG can't be the single issue, as all my altcoin algos are affected.
Anyone any ideas?
Well now you can only make rig(s) again. Clean all, reinstall windows. And remember, once you get it working-dont move cards/risers. This is remaining software problem.
