For now i have never problem with PhoenixMiner. Now i have a problem with this:
I using PM 2.9e
Code:

My settings are same all time. I have gtx 1070 (8gb) gpus. How to solve this problem any idea?

try lowering the GPU2 overclock settings a bit, looks like that is the card that is causing the issue

 Ok, tnx for advice. I’ll try this Smiley

I have also had the same problem for a couple of days, have you solved it and what did you like to report?

I got these same errors when OC-ing my 1070 to the limits.
Follow next steps to resolve this problem - worked 100% in my case:
  • Reduce the OC settings for the nvidia cards
  • Reinstall nvidia drivers
  • Run Phoenix ... it will for sure work again

I got this problem twice; In both cases when searching for maximum stable mem freq I can push the 1070 gpus.
Currently running stable at:
  Core: -200 (minus 200)
  Mem: 765
  Power Limit: 59
  Hashing: 32.770 MH/s
To tune, I am using nvidia Inspector as it allows me to easily tune individual gpus.
I have this line "call nvidia-tune.bat" in start.bat before the PhoenixMiner.exe line:
Code:
::nvidia-tune.bat file content: 7 nvidia cards 0..7 -
:: Note1: card 3 - it is stable at max 625 mem clock - any atampt to go higher will produce errors in minutes after the mining starts
:: Note2: The fans are set to run at constant speed - I have found these values (different for each fan) that keep my cards at around 50-55oC, depending on the ambient temperature

In my experience the nvidia is not gracefully handling errors when it comes to errors from OC. In best scenario (when slightly overclocked), PhoenixMiner will restart as expected. In worst case, when OC is too high, nvidia driver/configuration gets corrupted and the error as above ends any attempt to mine with the card. The reboot, restart nor cold restart will not make it go away. Only the driver reinstall fixes the problem.
