Hi all, I'm looking for some help. My MSI GTX 1070 seems to crash after 3-4 hours of running NiceHash.
The small amount of profitability that's continuing is my CPU mining. It's done this every night so far and I've tried everything from setting the card OC settings to default to using a mouse auto-clicker to keep my PC 'active'. All drivers for GPU are up-to-date. My specs are as follows:
i7 4790k
16GB RAM
MSI GTX 1070 (power 85%, aggressive fan curve, +100 clock, +500 mem)
MSI z97 KRAIT MOBO
RM850 850w 80+ Gold Rated PSU
Here's what some of the logs look like after the GPU crashes:

Any ideas or help? Thanks
From the looks of it - it is a standard switching stability issue. Due to context creation/destructions when switching algorithms, your PC can hang/bluescreen/freeze/restart.
You may try disabling certain algorithm.
And wait for excavator to have more algorithms inside so this issue will not be happening anymore.
