Title: Problems with Win 7 / R9 270x - ETH
Post by: itlbtu2 on July 17, 2017, 02:16:09 AM
I am having problems setting up my trial rig.  Here is my setup....

EVGA Z87-FTW MOBO
8GB RAM
EVGA 750 Gold PSU
R9 270X cards - currently using 2...but have 9 total if I ever get this setup to work...

So, here is my situation, I have been attempting to use GETH having nothing but issues with the blockchain. I have tried for a week to download the blockchain using different commands ie --fast, --rpc ..... every time I get five or so minutes in to it, my computer reboots.  It seems to be a GETH only issue.  I have deleted the block chain files and tried starting fresh etc.... I then downloaded Ethereum Wallet, to attempt to avoid issues and no avail.  I have updated drivers, downgraded drivers, tried Debian Squeeze distro's (epic fail due to Ethernet issues) and the best I have gotten to is a claymore setup using

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0

setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100

setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

EthDcrMiner64.exe -lidag 0 -epool us1.ethpool.org:3333 -ewal 0x18ec1513078aa6b52b1409a05cf6b4f4820bebea -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:3252 -dwal Redhex.my -dpsw x



with this I get the:

GPU0/GPU1 - not enough GPU memory to place DAG
OpenCL error -61 cannot allocate big buffer for DAG
OpenCL error -38 cannot write buffer for DAG

Am I just having issues with the block chain or is it a 2GB GPU issue that cannot be resolved?

Thanks in advance for any help.......About to pull my hair out at this point...

Cant mine ETH with that card. Mine ZEC instead.
