Can anybody tell me why phoenix.exe above 2.7c crashes in 5 seconds when starting on one rig and on my other rig it runs perfect also with latest version.
Both rigs are identical with 6 gtx1070 8gb cards each and windows 10.
I didnt read anything here about this problem.
Please send us the log file and check if the miner shows "Debugger detected" error before crashing (the "Debugger detected" error will not be printed in the log file). If the console window closes fast after the program crashes, please put a
pause command after the line that starts PhoenixMiner in your .bat file (or use the start_miner.bat file that is in the PhoenixMiner .zip file, which already has a pause command).
If the error is "Debugger detected" try to add
-nvidia to your command line.
Thanks for helping me what to do!
I hope the information below can help.
My bat file:
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool ssl://eu1.ethermine.org:5555 -wal WALLET.Rig1 -proto 3 -nvidia -mi 10
pause

It seem that when all six cards start generating the DAG buffer, the last of them crashes. First, try to increase the virtual memory (page file) size to 32 GB temporarily to be sure that this is not causing the problem. If this doesn't help check the power consumption during the DAG generation. If it is close to the power rating of your PSU, you will have to lower the core clock on (some of) the cards to avoid overloading the PSU during DAG generation.
The shutdown of the miner is also from the start, even with a cold card. My cards never get hotter than 58 degrees. (49-58)
The problem with shuting down appears with and without overclocking.
I will try to re-install the rig soon and see what happens.
Hmm, than this could be a power issue - they usually manifest themselves during DAG generation. How much is the power rating of your PSU (esp. 12V lines)? Other thing to try is to lower the power limit of the cards in Afterburner (or whatever OC software you prefer to use).
i think my one nvidia based rig is having a similar issue. it's running 2.8c.
it will run fine for 5-50+hrs, then suddenly it crashes, gets the "unspecified launch failure" error, and doesnt auto-restart. i can see that the watchdog triggered, but then the pheonixminer.exe crashes in windows and it hangs until i manually close it. i usually just reboot the system and it's fine. i run all default parameters except only running the -coin eth command, everything else is defaults.
my AMD based system on 2.8c is rock steady. runs for 300+ hrs and never crashes.
This does seem quite similar but this happens during normal mining and not during DAG generation so it is less likely to be a power issue. Still, could you try to lower the power limit of your cards and see if this fixes the problem? On our test rigs the PSUs are over-provisioned by at least 50-60% so we never see such problems. Even if the PSU(s) should be enough on theory, some GPUs have momentary peaks in their power consumption which can drop the voltage enough to cause a crash.
We will also investigate why the program doesn't restart as it should (and as it does in many other cases).
