The miner crashes regularly. Virtual memory was increased to 32Gb (4x GTX 1070 8gb). The version used in the GoByte miner was however stable or does the mining tool has a restart function embedded?

I've not had any issues with hsrminer since it came out just about 2 month ago.
Initially I had but it was due to too small swapfile/virtual memory.
To minimize the issues I recommend:
- The more cards you have in one rig the bigger the swapfile/virtual memory need to be. I use SSD 75GB (a little overkill but it works for me) on 9x1070ti rig (H110-D3A)
- Don't overclock too high... it tends to make the system unstable.
- intensity on vga and cpu can introduce issues if set too high (depending on your configuration)
- Windows drivers.... need to be the correct.

These are some the major issues I've had in the past, especially windows drivers has created a lot of issues for me (onboard graphics conflicting with other parts of the configuration, PCI-bridge, ....)
I've iron issues now and the rig is running stable.

Only concern left is the inconstancy between what HSRminer reports in hash rate and what the pool reports... at times huge difference (11.55mh/s by HSRminer vs. 10.65mh/s mining pool)
I see this is a general concern in the forum that I hope the dev. will address at sometime soon.
