After installing the creator update for Windows 10, i get the message “ethdcrminer64.exe has stopped working“. In the details it's called “bex64“ error. Anybody out there with similar problems or ideas how to solve this? The regular ethminer.exe is still working. Sgminer is also working as usual.
Any hints are appreciated!
i wish i could help you im getting this since the update.
gpu1, gpuminer cu_k00 failed 4, unspecified launch failure
gpu1, gpuminer kx failed 1
i found a reference to launch failure in this thread but it wasn't explained or a work around fix shared
3 x gtx 1070 was working fine before windows update
checked virtual memory, psu and risers only seems to happen on multi card setups
thanks to anyone that can help or explain
i didn't install the creators update it was just the new windows 10 update. version 1607 14393.1066
i tried restore point but it did not work reinstalled drivers etc seems to happen every half an hour

overclocking does effect how often it happens as well
miner then restarts and works fine until it happens again.
I know this isn't very helpful if you already have a system running Windows 10 but honestly - from all the stuff I have read all over these and other forums, and from my own experience and that of a few of my friends.... Windows 10 is just a minefield of problems as a platform for a mining rig.
I believe that if you must use Windows (Linux is the best solution if you can understand it and use it properly) then Windows 8.1 seems to be the best option. It has almost all of the modern features that Win10 has, but none (or much less) of the annoying forced updates and inbuilt data mining/surveillance crap. The amount of things that Windows 10 does in the background or at random times which consume large amounts of system resources - without your control annoys the crap out of me. Not to mention how often I come home and my Windows 10 machine (a mostly non mining gaming & htpc machine) has just rebooted itself after an update without asking me or warning me. That is not a reliable and stable OS - it's a social media and entertainment platform on the surface and a data mining and "advertizing customer collector" underneath. Fuck Windows 10.
I recently built a new rig based on Nvidia cards (1070 and 2 1060s) and I am very glad I still had the ability to install Win8.1 on to this rig. The only reason I used Windows at all was because I don't really know anything about using Nvidia GPUs for mining in Linux. My other rig is Linux based with AMD GPUs and is so stable I almost never even have to look at it - it "just works".
yeah i know i thought i had updates turned off my rig was running beautifully for two weeks straight went to give it a rest for an hour and play a game then i see were getting things ready for you nooooooooooooo
i will figure something out eventually
but still can anyone tell what this actually means is it power related or memory related or other
