I tied all other old versions 5.8b, 5.6... all the same issue (also after windows restart).

I upgraded from old 5.2c miner (due to DAG size) to 5.8c and now miner even doesn't start ... any suggestions?

We use 388.71 drivers (also on other working machines).

<--- exit without any info

Miner is started with following ENV :

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

Any possible way to upgrade the Nvidia drivers as they are a bit old in the teeth, also try without the ENV settings.
I have a GTX 1070 running with PM 8.5c and running fine with nvidia drivers 470 and cuda 11.4 although I am running Linux.
