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).

I have the same problem. Solved it by updating to 460.89. Yours are too old.

I ended up with NBMiner + MSI Afterburner (oldschool like 2017  Grin Grin Grin) - no drivers reinstall - hashrate almost the same, but working. The reason behind that is windows not updated since install (Windows 10 Version 1703, 10.0.15063).



I have P106 running in Windows 10 Home (21H1) with Nvidia driver version: 432.00 and no issues.

I would suggest starting the miner from Command Prompt window. Sometimes errors that prevent miner from starting do not show up in the log file, but you can see them in this window.
