Topic: GPU mining software setup troubleshooting (Read 127 times)

Hi everyone,

I recently decided to build my own mining rig... Unfortunately Im regretting it already.  I have had nothing but problems.  Built a miner with Asus B250, Intel celeron 7, 2 NVIDIA gtx1070 (buying more), 1600W PS, kingston SSD, and 4gb RAM. 

I installed a cracked version of windows 10 pro and everything seems to be working with windows.  I downloaded the nvidia drivers straight from NVIDIAs website. 

I then downloaded awesome miner as i heard this was easiest.  I followed directions to start mining vertcoin and every time I hit run it gives me an error message saying it could be my antivirus blocking it.  So i did more searching and found that i should exclude the miner files.  this didn't work.  I then tried re downloading awesome miner, still nothing.  By this point im frustrated and tried to download vertcoins one click miner as i have done this before and it was fairly simple.  BUT once i had my one click miner installed and pools added I tried to start it and it wont run.  Seems to be the same problem as with awesome miner, the miner just wont start up. 

When i run diagnostics on awesome miner it gives me this...
Starting Diagnostics. Awesome Miner version: 4.4.4
