GPU Hangs

[ricky24theman]

I am mining AGM (PHI2) on a Windows 7 machine with a XFX RX580. When I start the miner it runs fine for 2-7 minutes then it declares the tread sick, then dead or hung. The error is shown in the following screenshot. http://prntscr.com/lh3go2

@ricky24theman Thanks for letting me know. Did it hang each time you run it? What parameter you use to reproduce the problem? Can you add "--debug --log-file log.txt" and upload your log.txt here? I will test it for longer run on my 580 rig later today.

[fancyIX]

@ricky24theman Also, the hashrate shown in the screenshot doesn't seem right. For phi2 rx 580 should be about 3.7mhs at full clock (you need "-w 256 -I 22")

[ricky24theman]

Yes it hangs every time I run it. I have tried lowering the intensity all the way down to 11 and it still hung.

.\sgminer.exe -k phi2 -o stratum+tcp://letsmine.it:8332 -u MJ12nWE6SooknThr74EpMTSsP7z3hcogHb.worker2 -w 256 -I 21 -p c=AGM --gpu-threads 1

I will add that and post the log file later.

Yes I was getting 3.7 - 3.8mhs until it hung and then that average shown just keeps dropping.

This time was a hard hang, gray screen and forced reboot.

here is another where it declared it sick log.txt

@ricky24theman I will take a look. Meanwhile, if you have time, you can try beat5d, which has the same speed as beta5f+ for phi2.

[fancyIX]

@ricky24theman Also, your fan speed is only 44% and temp is up to 75C. I think you need to set a higher fan speed in any case. 75C temp sounds too high.

[ricky24theman]

Thank you for the heads up. Yes, I am aware of that. I usually keep the cards around 62C. Every time it did a hard crash and reboot it reset my Radeon settings to default with the slower fan speed and max temp of 80C. I just left it while testing different intensity and watched to make sure it didn't hit 80C. Also I did try beta5d and it gave me the same issue.

[fancyIX]

@ricky24theman Did the miner hangs with higher fan and lower temp?

[ricky24theman]

Yes, here is a log with that. log.txt

[fancyIX]

@ricky24theman I tested on windows and can reproduce the problem. On Liinux it's fine. I guess something wrong happens with windows. Will investigate further.

[fancyIX]

@ricky24theman Seems that you cannot run other programs when you run this miner. I tried to run it as the only program and didn't seem problem. If I launch another big program, like visual studiio, it hangs immediately. So I guess it hangs when you run other programs.

[jestercore]

I have issue too

@jestercore Are you using windows? Are you running other programs while running the miner? Can you add "--debug --log-file log.txt" and upload your log file?

Windows 10. Yes, Mindminer and some background processes like Afterburner and etc. Tried with CPU miner and without - no luck. Yes, gonna upload it's later. System crashing not from running miner, but when i try to CLOSE miner. There is even some hashrate, but it's i can't close without system hang.

[fancyIX]

I can reproduce it on windows. Linux works fine. Will investigate.

@ricky24theman @jestercore : Seems like a compiler bug. I rebuilt the bin files with a newer compiler and see problem doesn't happen. Tested on my Vega56 and 580 running phi2 for 2 hours without crash. It does hang when I run visual studio or when I enable windows sleep display, but I guess that doesn't matter for a mining rig. I've uploaded the fixed file replacing the previous one. Please download it again from the release page and see if that solves your problem. Thanks!

[jestercore]

Tried - no luck!

[fancyIX]

@jestercore , which driver do you use? I can install it to see what happens.

[jestercore]

18.2.1 in compute mode

[fancyIX]

@jestercore I installed 18.2.1 and run allium mining about one hour and could not see crash.

[jestercore]

i have 560+580, that's maybe issue

[fancyIX]

@jestercore unfortunately I don't' have 560 for testing. If you have time you can try running on 560 only or 580 only to see if it's 560's problem.

[jestercore]

I disabled 560 in device manager and.. Yes, now it's working.

[fancyIX]

@jestercore , thanks for the heads up. If you have time can you run 560 only to see if crash happens? I don't have 560 for testing so the support for it may be weaker than 580.

[jestercore]

580only.txt 560only.txt Cards working separated

both.txt After single gpu runs - miner not crashing windows, but still FC. Kernel compiling?

[fancyIX]

@jestercore , I don't expect any kernel compile happens for allium/lyra2z/phi2. As long as you use -w 256, the prebuilt bin files should be load (no kernel compile).
