7 x 1070 (4xGA WF OC2, 1x GA Aorus, 2x MSI Armor) 90.77 nvidia drivers 1.4.4a excavator 72Gb virtual memory 1500W PSU BIOS up to date no software for overclock

it crashes on Neoscrypt, Equihash, Lyra2rev2, Nist5.

tried to use overclock software to reduce power at 50%. still crashing any solution?

[EvgeniyKorepov]

Are you trying to run two algorithms at the same time? The screenshot shows Equihash and Lyra2rev2. Show your json config.

[tinkyisretarded]

Nicehash does that automatically because cards have a bit different performances on the same algo depending on the manufacturer. SOmetimes they are all running same algo, sometimes they are running separates algos.

Oh, you're using NHM (you should mentioned it before). Does it work if you run only one algorithm at the time? Disable all algorithms except one (e.g. lyra2rev2 or equihash) so NHM will run the same algorithm on all cards.

Btw, you said you have 7 cards but in your config file there are only 4 listed. Does NHM recognise all your devices? Is this the latest General.json file?

[tinkyisretarded]

yes, it recognise all cards. this is the latest General.json made after crashing. it crash also if i rung the same algo on all cards with all other algos disabled

[t4nja]

If you try to run standalone excavator does it work?

You'll have to run excavator.exe using windows command prompt with the next command: .\excavator.exe -c config.json

Copy/paste this to your config.json file (don't forget to change your_btc_address):

[
    {"time":0,"commands":[
        {"id":1,"method":"algorithm.add","params":["lyra2rev2","lyra2rev2.eu.nicehash.com:3347","your_btc_address"]}
    ]},
    {"time":1,"commands":[
        {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]},
        {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","1"]},
        {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","2"]},
        {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","3"]},
        {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","4"]},
        {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","5"]},
        {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","6"]}
    ]},
    {"time":10,"loop":20,"commands":[
        {"id":1,"method":"algorithm.print.speeds","params":[]}
    ]}
]

[tinkyisretarded]

i do not have a config.json file on my computer

[t4nja]

Yes, you'll have to create one (in the same folder that excavator is).

[tinkyisretarded]

did that. still crashes

[t4nja]

Did you start excavator via command line (not with NiceHash Miner)? Can you make a screenshot of the cmd window please?

[tinkyisretarded]

of course i did it. i started the excavator from c:\users...\AppData\Roaming\nhm2\bin\excavatpr_cuda9.1

[tinkyisretarded]

also tried with older version of excavator. same result also tried with neoscrypt algo. also crash

[t4nja]

Did you try to do a clean reinstall of the drivers? It might help, especially if windows performed any auto updates.

[tinkyisretarded]

yes, of course

[EvgeniyKorepov]

@tinkyisretarded Maybe this way will help you https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/issues/184#issuecomment-365523053 In your case, you need to divide the video cards of different manufacturers into different rigs and try to run each rig separately in manual mode.

[tinkyisretarded]

wrong. all my rigs are mixed. even 1070 &1080ti or 1070 and 1080 mixed and all working. this one also worked perfect for about 2 months.

[t4nja]

this one also worked perfect for about 2 months.

Try to detect what changed since then (driver version, windows update .. ). Also, check your risers, if everything is connected ok. It's possible that something is wrong with one of the cards and it's crashing the driver. Try running excavator on one card at the time and see if it works on each card.

[tinkyisretarded]

working on it. i will get back once done

[tinkyisretarded]

so, i reinstalled windows, card by card up to 6 cards, run ok for about 6 hours and then starting to crush again each time i start mining

[tinkyisretarded]

@dropky @EvgeniyKorepov found smth interesting. running stable for last 20 minutes. i will keep you updated

[tinkyisretarded]

seems like it is a hardware problem. risers does not receive proper power from the PSU. so problem is solved now. thanks alot for your time spent with me. gl
