Im having a trouble
Im using HIVEos
It always restarts, it will mine a bit then it will say
“Illegal memory access”
How can i resolve this?
Im using:
Hive os
Nvidia 1060 6gig
From github:
Illegal memory access error is in case of Nvidia cards happen due to having a card running on max overclocked memory on Power state 2. When your miner does switch to P0 state for whatever reason, memory gets an additional 200 mhz and can (or will) get unstable, which causes this error .
Solution W/o Watchdog: set your mining rig to P0 state ( Windows Nvidiainspector old version, section 5, set force P2 state to "off") on linux you should be able to do that allready with nvidia-smi.)
.Explanation:
When you run your miner on P0 state, the mem-clock overkill will not appear any longer on maxed out (depends on memory brand) GDDR5 (example samsung memory : +710 on P0 state, +910 on P2 state, memory speed in both cases : 4714mhz on windows (x2 on linux for display) ) so on p2 state you would be running +910, then p0 state snaps in and you have not +910 but +1110 - which causes the crash.
If you run your card from start with P0 state it can not run higher then supposed ( +710 in my case for example on P0 state), so no more crash will appear.
Sample Nvidia inspector with version number and section that needs to be changed:
Note: after Driver Update you need to set P0 State again!
also: Note that you have to set 200 mhz less overclock, as P0 state does add those 200 allready!
maybe things like that can be included in correct english in the readme.
