Ok so im new to this mining stuff im starting to mine with mi laptop ethereum found a really good and easy video on internet and i followed all steps correctly but when i run out the program mine_etc, it appears an error while its running it says GPU 0: Insufficient memory for DAG epoch 386, can someone please help me out i would be really thankful and i appreciate your help thanks forum

Generally laptops cannot mine. Couple of things. Mine ETC sounds like you are actually trying to mine ETC not ETH. ETC can be mined on video cards with 3gb vram. Since you have a laptop most likely it doesnt have a big enough gpu for mining. The other problem you will have is if your laptop has a big enough gpu it will not last long mining. Laptops are made to be portable and generally suffer from cooling issues when it comes to mining. Watch more videos and read more about mining.

You can mine Ethereum Classic or other coins that do not use DAG
Try to find information about mining Ravencoin (RVN)

Probably your GPU in laptop has 4GB video ram or less. Don't try to mine with your laptop because even if you could mine with it you wouldn't get much in return

That error means that your gpu doesn't have enough memory to handle the DAG file. It's larger than 4GB now so there's not much you can do if you don't have more than 4gb of video memory.

Or add more virtual memory in windows !
