I am unable to use bminer on windows for any algo, I get this error:
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer difference
[signal 0xc0000005 code=0x0 addr=0x20 pc=0x140d562b0]
Windows 7
bminer 16.0.6
EVGA 1070
Same error on Win 7. 384,94 driver, 16.1.0 bminer.
And "Failed to initialize the CUDA platform: CudaError: Could not initialize the NVML library" on Win 10.
For the issue about "Could not initialize the NVML library": From what I've seen, Bminer tries to load 'nvml.dll' from the folder 'C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI\'.
Older nVidia drivers used to install nvml.dll in this folder, but with more recent nVidia drivers, the file nvml.dll is only installed to the folder 'C:\Windows\System32\'. If you manually copy
'C:\Windows\System32\nvml.dll' to the folder 'C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI\', Bminer should work.
@realbminer: The preferred solution would be to update Bminer to look for the file in the correct location. Thanks!
