I'm using windows 10 version 1803 and nvidia driver 397.64. My vgas all are gtx 1070.

I'm stuck with this error....everytime I start the mining...in about 5 minutes or less I got these messages. I already lowered the OC via MSI and tried with no OC at all, but no luck.
These are the messages:

After these error, there is notification on windows that say : "Display driver failed to start;using microsoft basic display driver instead; check windows update for newer display driver"
I check it and all are updated
what's the problem?

This looks like an Nvidia driver crash.
I'm not mining with Nvidia, but if you look back through your log, you will probably see (prior to this), Claymore is querying the GPU temperatures, and is expecting an ACK, I expect your log will show something like a GPU number, followed by temperature value, and possibly fan speed.

What you see here is a failure to read out that data, and as that is coming via the Nvidia driver, and looking at the following entries, that would support the theory the driver has unloaded or crashedout.

Some things to try.

Remove all your GPU except 1.
Download DDU,

http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

Boot Win10 to safemode, (CTRL+SHIFT+restart), select troubleshoot, advanced, (sad that ms see that as advanced, lol), startup options, and on restart, numeric key 4 will enable safemode boot.
Run DDU, default options, it will remove your Nvida display drivers, reboot to windows, and install Nvidia.

Select a custom install, and install only the display driver, (you can skip audio, and experience for example), Less crap to worry about if things don't run with stability later.

After install, reboot, and run claymore, (single GPU), and see if that works.

BTW: Windows will fallback on the basic display driver, and in cases where it does not know of, (have installed), the vendors driver.
Because you are seeing this happen, AND you clearly DO HAVE the Nvidia driver installed, (otherwise Claymore would bombout early init), then I suspect you have a corrupt install, reg entry somewhere.

It's a weird one though, usually windows doesn't gracefully unload a peripheral driver if it's being used, and you'll get some kind of BSOD.

Interesting situation, please feedback how you get on.
Good luck with it too btw.
Cheers
