Hi, i tried to start parallel CPU & GPU mining with NiceHash software, but it always wanted to use my GPU for mining even if it was disabled in hardware overview (at least i think, that the small gray/green switch disables/enables hardware for mining). So i tried to start second nicehash instance for CPU mining, but after the loading screen both instances crashed and "NiceHash Miner 2.exe" disappeared. I started the installer again, but it removed nicehash and the installer itself from my disk. There was no option to select install / repair / remove or something like that.

OS: Windows 10 Pro v.1703 AV: Avast free (no warnings with this miner version) CPU: i7-6700K GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 Ti

Also, my Chrome acted kind of strange after nicehash miner crashed: i could not download nicehash miner installer, because i had no permission to save the file to the disk. Not sure, if this actually is somehow related to miner crash. PC restart fixed this and i could download miner installer. Everything worked again after removing C:/program files/nicehash2/ and reinstalling miner

in the meanwhile i updated to 2.0.0.12. Are parallel cpu and gpu mining supposed to work? Then i would test it again tonight.

I'm getting the same strange issue but with NHM2 2.0.0.12 Beta. After downloading and installing NHM2, as soon as I launch it, it crashes AMD Catalyst 17.7.2 tray app without an error message, but in the windows for NHM2 it says Catalyst is needed for AMD???

I then try to relaunch NHM2 and nothing happens. After looking in the install folder, the .exe file has been removed. Try to reinstall and it removes the Installer! Try to redownload or copy a new installer, get a message about "no permission to save file to disk".

If I don't try to relaunch after AMD Catalyst tray app crashes and reboot immediately, the NHM2 .exe is still there.

For now I'm back to using NHM Legacy 1.8.1.0, as that seams to be more stable. System specs are as follows:

i7 3770K OC 4.5 32GB DDR3 Ram AMD Radeon R9 200/HD 7900 Series 3GB Radeon Software 17.7.2 Windows 10 Pro 64-bit build 1703

Installed NHM2 v2.0.0.12 Beta with Admin Windows Defender is disabled Avast 17.5.2303 is set to exclude NHM2 folder

I would like to run v2 but I guess I will wait for the official release and not Beta/Alpha
