You're not on version 15 but on version 14

So weird thought i updated. Updating now to verify if working.

Also testing on 16... i must be doing something wrong

[AndreaLanfranchi]

Please modify your .bat file like this

ethminer.exe -U -P stratum1+ssl://0x8d36ea933dd02aeffb22318125a1d9583aefbd01.CrypteyMiney@us1.ethermine.org:5555 -v 9
echo %ERRORLEVEL%
pause

and report back the error code which is printed out

It's a windows error. Not much we can do as we're not sure which is the cause.

Please read from here https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer/issues/1165#issuecomment-394129880

[AndreaLanfranchi]

Probably you have applied some windows updates

[fenlasonb]

Hello Sir.

I have confirmed thje last windows update was 6/8/18. Very strange as this was working well past.

[fenlasonb]

C:\Windows\servicing\Packages reports no updates past 6/5/18

[AndreaLanfranchi]

Have you installed or update manually some app ? Have you changed your hardware config ? Something has changed lately ?

[fenlasonb]

The strange part is nothing has changed.

Not sure. i am currently going to redeploy windows 10 and not update a single thing.

Will keep u informed.

[fenlasonb]

Update. Re installed windows disabled updates via services.msc gpo policy and via gui. Miner was working.

Rebooted the PC now miner has stopped working with same exit code as mentioned.

[fenlasonb]

also tried workaround noted in #1165 (comment)

[ChronoXNL]

As far as i've been able to tell, manually setting your VM size (large enough to handle the mem footprint of your cards), should be sufficient. It even works when you haven't restarted your miner.

I think the latest patch from Win 10 adjusted the VM mechanism, returning an error when VM size is not enough instead of just automagically increasing the VM size. I cannot confirm if this is the case however.

[fenlasonb]

I just adjusted to virtual Memory to be 26gb No noted changed on exit code. 4 1070tis

[webprophet]

26gb VM should be good enough. I have a rig w 8 -1070ti with 30 gig and it works fine. The only other things that come to mind on the -1073741819 error are UAC, NVidia drivers, or Visual Studio redistributables. For UAC you could try switching between admin and a newly created admin account to rule out UAC (Antivirus tosses this error when they corrupt UAC). For Nvidia, reinstall and make sure you dont have any "other sound controllers" in device manager instead of "NVIDIA High Definition Audio" (video games toss the same error). Lastly, you could try reinstalling C++ Redistributable (cmd.exe can generically toss this error with corrupted C++). Good luck. ps~ I hope you have run checkdisk and all that. :)

[fenlasonb]

Welp, i have already tried with a new admin account to rule out a UAC issue. I am re installing windows 1 more time via usb key.

Will report back :(

[lesjokolat]

@AndreaLanfranchi I am also getting this error. windows 10, 16 gig ram, 20 gig vm, latest windows, ad 18.7.1 amd driver.

could path output of binary kernels be issue, some parts use forward slash

[lesjokolat]

Just wanted to update, I changed to stratum, and used last couple of Dev 16 releases the error went away. On windows 10, AMD drivers 18.6.1, 18.7.1, 18.8.1. I also think all the recent stratum updates made are amazing just wanted to thank the devs for giving me a product I can switch from CM and Phoenix. I have never mined faster and more stable than here!

[lesjokolat]

@jean-m-cyr

Another one to close I think. I has same message but all stratum fixes and tweaks to my start up removed this as an issue.
