So im having some issues with the miner. Ive tried everything on my end, and cant get rid of the crashes.
here's my system:
Windows 10 home
ASUS Z270-A-PRO
G3930 Celeron
16gb of RAM
128gb SSD
1 Gigabyte vega 56
When I tried to start the miner originally I was getting a bunch of errors (namely the 1500C temp error and it would lock up the system and put all fans to max) so, i updated to the 4.0b build from 3.5.
Initially the miner was showing 2 Vega GPU's (only 1 installed) and was trying to mine with both of them at the same time. One was around 21mh/s the other was about 8mh/s (non dual mining just trying eth.) To fix this I used the -gpus 1 to tell it just to use 1 GPU, that managed to get it working and mining at normal speed using 1 "card". But, after some random time, usually around an hour into mining, the miner stops hashing and doesnt spit out an error, eventually when you try to move the mouse or hit any key on the keyboard it locks up the system and the only option is to hard shutdown.
So with this and some searching I tried many things, removing the OC settings in Wattman (same result), updating windows (same result), then I updated the driver to the newest beta one and that managed to get it to work with out crashing. Then I implemented dual mining and tested for a couple days with no issues, so then I ran xmr-stak to CPU mine, and tested for a couple days as well. After testing for a couple days I went on vacation, came back it ran fine even through multiple internet drops (typical cable internet issues that have since been fixed with hundreds of dollars of equipment lol) each time reconnecting and continuing to hash like it should. Yesterday, I received my order for some new noctua fans and I shut down the computer and installed the fans. upon rebooting I was getting the same eventual hang in the system.
So I dug into windows update thinking it must have installed an update and was causing this issue. So I uninstalled the update that showed it installed yesterday (besides an adobe flash one as I didnt think that would affect this situation) and its still having the same result. I updated the GPU driver to the newest beta again and still the same issue. Ive since constrained windows update even more than I had it before, to try to prevent something like this in the future.
So with both the 18.11.2 ( i think it was) and the newest 18.12.1.1 beta driver I get the same results.
below is a snippet of the log when it failed, from what I can tell its not showing any errors.

If anyone has any trick or tips to get this issue fixed please let me know, I would love to get back the random stability that I had for that short time.
(Oh and thank you Phoenix crew for getting the Nvidia DAG issue resolved! I was finally able to use my Nvidia rig and tested it for 3 days with no issues!)
Thank you all for any help you can provide.
