I am getting this message and not sure why on 9.0.0
Watchdog has started
Starting miner on devices (0)
Failed to initialize miner Failed to create solver for device 0
miner died! It will be restarted soon...

Figured it out. I am using my D drive for Windows and all I had to do was put the NVSMI file on my C drive ""C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI""
