Topic: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v15.0 (Windows/Linux) - page 257. (Read 6590718 times)

Good morning.  I'm new at this so please bear with me.  I'm running two 1050's, Defender disabled, virtual mem set to 16384, getting a

socket was closed remotely (by pool)

Lastly, what adjustments do I need to make to get paid as quickly as possible?

Thank you in advance and sorry if you already face palmed after reading this.

What do the logs show? (Immediately before this event?)
How many GPU are you mining with?

I've had a few instances (win10) where something locked up, sometime with a BSOD, sometimes total system freeze, hard-reset required, and on next init, AMD drivers are "missing", (openCL) in my case.

(This is also mentioned in the readme)

I've also had a few cases, (after flashing BIOS), where cards were not stable, or rather not performing as well as I expected, and a FULL shutdown, bleed-down solved that.
Shutdown OS, wait until it's off, pull the power input cables from the PSUs, (leave the PSUs ON), then press the power on button, hold it in for 20sec.
Big PSUs will have a lot of power held in caps, this will keep circuits alive for some minutes after power cables are removed.
Holding the power button down, will try to enable power, and the hardware will rapidly bleed down all residual power, (if you have some BIOs LEDs on the mb, keep holding the power button depressed, until those are all out, wait 10 more sec, release).
Power OFF PSUs, attach power cables, switch on, and press the power button.

The above is good general advice prior to digging into instability issues, (make sure you have a clean start etc).

In my case, (openCL missing) After a lot of debugging, I think the cause was hardware related. One of the challenges as you add more GPUs, risers, cables, pcie cards etc, you're adding a lot of connections, only one needs to be suboptimal, and you're in trouble, and have a lot of things to check.

If you hit the wall, I'd suggest break it down, divide and conquer. Assuming you have 4 GPU, remove half of them, (power cable to riser, "usb" cable, power to GPU).

Run with that, if you don't have an issue about 1 hour, (3 times the previous event period (you mentioned 20min), then add 1 more GPU, etc.
If you still see the issue with only 2 GPU, remove all but 1, and try again.

It's also very easy with rigid "USB" cables to slightly tip, dislodge the PCIe card in the slot. *TIP* Get some nylon stand-offs, and string your PCIe cards together, I use these, and since doing this, my rigs have stabilised a LOT!

The above kit, has various lengths, so you can assemble the spacing to match the socket pitch on your motherboard. They are nylon, so soft, won't damage the tracks, or expand with heat, stress the boards etc.
Sure, it's not so easy to swap out a bad board, when it's chained up, but at least 2 boards I thought were bad, have been running fine for weeks, (now they are secure in the sockets).
Visually inspect them when using for the first time.

I should add, all the above assumes you are actually mining ok for the first 20min, that being so, probably your config is ok, and you're looking at a hardware related issue, (or have some other application starting around the 20min mark).

Good luck./

Like Call_Me_Bambi said, POST your Batch file here! Or a screen shot of the actual error!

One thing to check though, after all these years Microsoft is STILL delivering windows explorer configured in VIRUS friendly mode.
By that I mean, it will hide extensions by default. It's therefore very common for users to THINK or ignore the fact they are not seeing the real file extension.

If your batch file started out as text file, and you renamed it, (with default set, windows explorer hiding extensions), then you will have a file that actually looks like this

startme.batch.txt    Essentially it's NOT a batch file, it's still just a text file.

Best advice for everyone, unhide extensions, ALWAYS, it's the first thing you should do after installing windows.

Otherwise, Iamnotavirus.txt.bat will appear as Iamnotavirus.txt

Anyway, general advice when asking for help, (A LOT OF POSTERS HERE NEED TO READ THIS!)
It's always good advice when asking for help, to be specific.!!

"I got an error" is a useless statement, as is "I'm using the latest drivers, or the new version..." (New to WHO? what version?")
While you might not understand what is wrong, if you're not specific, no one else will understand you either!

Worse still, the help you might get won't apply to your issue. Wastes your time, and those trying to help you.

OK, back to this batchfile issue.
Pictures, (screenshots) are a good method to illustrate your issues.

One other thing you could try, open a command window, (to the location (directory) of your batch file), and execute it from there. That way, the console will print out some clues for you. (Post a screenshot of that printout).

Equally, assuming you didn't set path as a system variable, make sure your batchfile, (is really a batch file), but is also residing in the same directory as EthDcrMiner64.exe.

Good luck./

Do you have windows defender enabled? it should be blocking claymore.

For my config it is complicated 6XRX580 but the problem is that I do not arrive modified and execute the .bat file and I am under Windows 10

Thank you

Even with this environment variables miner stops after approximately 20 h with the same message. I also have Ubuntu 16.04

The error is self-explanatory

make sure you have rights to the location - seems like the permission issue

Try this

1) log into your machine as "admin" account -
2) Download a fresh copy of claymore software and Take out "Remote management" folder

had the same issue with 18.4.1, rolled back
And I'm already on Windows 10 April update, so it's not incompatibility with older windows, it's the driver

I installed the latest 18.4.1 Adrenaline driver on my 13 and 6 GPU rigs. One thig I noticed was the driver install on the 13 GPU rig was MUCH faster. It used to take over 20 minutes to install the driver and with the 18.4.1 driver it took ~5 minutes to install. No problems with dropping hash rate and running very stable.

The release notes mention the driver focuses on support for the Windows 10 April rollout update. If you don't have the latest updates installed, the driver is probably not compatible with your Windows install and that may be causing the issues.

I confirm. 18.4.1 start to cause 1 of my cards drops hashrate to 0 untill restart mining after several seconds after start. It's not only ethereum. Cryptonight too.
Roll back to 18.3.4 - very stable drivers and sometimes faster 18.2.1.

Just to let you guys know, I'm testing AMD Adrenalin Drivers version 18.4.1 on my 5x rx580 rig and it's randomly doing 0mh/s and recovering to 31mh/s, even with increased voltage. Also I haven't noticed any performance improvement so, I recommend that everyone use the latest WHQL drivers with version 18.2.1. Those still provide the best performance and stability. Avoid upgrading to windows 1803 for now

To help find out what your problem is let us know what graphic card(s) you are using and post your .bat file here so we can see what's wrong with it.

Here is an example .bat file configuration for use with miningpoolhub.com.

I don't have that much memory on my C disk left, but I increased it to 15GB for now, didn't fail when trying to mine the DevFee now (running fine for 30minutes), but let's see how it looks after a day.
Thanks for the help!

What I don't understand is why it started to happen suddenly, I didn't change any of the settings before and it was running fine 24/7 for 2months with actrual hashrates higher than expected.

hello ,

I have a problem when I use remote manager,

every time I enter the address of my minor, when I want to leave it puts me an error message,

how can i fix this problem?

thank you

If you want to change the miner behaviour, you should change settings in the miner instead of AB. If the miner is controlling fan speed it means that you specified "-tt" option. Remove it or set "-tt 1".

Claymore's 11.7 it's controlling fan speed no matter my settings on MSI Afterburner
Is there a way to bypass this ?

Hello, I cannot open the file .bat and do not either manage to execute him I am under windows10 64 bits

thanks

Try adding:
#GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100

Try to allocate or increase your Virtual memory to at least 50GB

if still has an error try -eres 0



No it dosn't support it, and you are in the Wrong thread, this is for Ethereum Algo, you must go to Cryptonight thread instead

need help from claymore experts
win 10 rig with 6 nvidia mining for weeks fine, added 2 more cards and miner will not start. i have tried everything.  
loads and shows pool address then cmd window closes with no errors showing, log file has nothing past the pool address.
reinstalled driver, same.
turned off defender and firewall, same crash.
went through bois settings, nothing.
updated from 11.6 to 11.7, same.
tried only one card in main slot and in other slots, nothing.
original 6 card setup crashes.
all cards show in device manager, and afterburner.

been mining 6 months and am a pc expert but i have not seen this one and am stumped. google has nothing so I am here
 please help    
what happens when the pool address shows? from what i can find it looks at open cl and cuda support.  
gpuz show cuda on cards.
ideas?

used video driver uninstall to remove intel driver for onboard gpu and solved.
