Hello to everybody,
I tried to mine ETH with PhoenixMiner, but when I start to, there appears a fatal error.

Here´s the LOG-File:

What I´ve done yet:
-Installed the latest GPU-Driver
-Set virtual Memory to 17.000 MB
-System is running with 8 GB RAM

Thanks for your advises.

Happy new Year

Well that gpu only has 2gb vram....

You need at least 4gb vram gpu.....and then it will only mine a few more weeks before you would need a 6gb gpu.......plus that is a mobile gpu its not a good idea to mine anything on that.....

He is trying to use a teaspoon to mine in stead of a shovel.

Try to mine with other coins maybe you can still mine with this GPU "GeForce 930MX".
I think you can still mine any coins on equihash algo or zhash.

try using 20.1.3.
thats been my go to for 5700xt.

What difference will that make?  Hes using a laptop with a 2gb vram gpu...a gt930.....  that dog will not hunt!
