Hi lads.
My hardware is GTX 1070 and 1050Ti and i want to solo mine Ethereum. Is anyone having a problem with Excavator 1.4.4a while mining Eth?

It mines for few minutes normally, but then excavator crashes, restarts and selects to mine any other algo set but ethereum
And if i click "View Details" on my Profit Miner, on the Profit Switching list, in the Profit per Day column, it shows that it "Failed". Also, when i switch to Claymore right after the Excavator crashes, it can't connect to the pool, but after minute or two, it connects. Claymore itself mines Eth without any problems.

This problem occurs with every next Excavator run, no matter what the memory and core clocks are set.

I have 8 GB of RAM and i set 13 GB minimum for Pagefile. What can be the potential cause of this?

I have had similar issues with excavator, so i removed it from my current lineup of software i use....

A little rumor running around is that in one of the more recent versions of Excavator, there is a bit of code that makes it "less stable" if the stratum address isnt one of the ones listed from nicehash...

I just found out what i didn't noticed before, besides that sometimes first one or two jobs are accepted, Excavator rejects all next jobs (Job not found) and propably that's why it shuts down.
Im using mininghubpool, didn't used other pools. I tried to run Excavator from .bat without Awesome miner, and it works same, no matter if i set port for single or for all coins. Maybe you were right about Excavator's pool "fussiness".
