Got the following exception, which caused the process to completely terminate, changing my power settings to see if that is the cause.
Can't see the message anywhere else so will report back if the power settings seemed to do the trick
GPU: cudaMalloc context: an illegal memory access was encountered
Hi Starmman!
Which graphic card do you have? It looks like the problem is that your graphic card doesn't have enough memory (it should at least have 2gb to be used for Ethereum mining).
Hi I have a Raedon HD7470 1GB and a Nvidia GeForce GT 630 2Gb installed, since its a cuda issue, it must be a problem with the Nvidia card.
If I step into the exe, I get the message: Exception thrown at 0x00007FF87C5B3C6A (nvcuda.dll) in minergate.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000000000000000.
Strangely, I was mining BCN not Ethereum. I'll check my drivers and make sure all is okay.
Here are the log files.
