Built a small 4 1060 rig about a week ago. Starting about 4 days ago this started happening about once a day. Almost always like 10 mins after i go to bed (just my luck) lol. So, it stops mining until i get up 8 hours later and press OK :/ ROI killer! hehe

I think its a single GPU having/causing problems because when i press OK all the same cards start mining minus one. I have to reboot for NHML to even see that one again.

I also think it might be mostly happening when it does the rare switch to ghost, NeoScrypt or Lyra2REv2. But i cant be sure. Those cause the ongpuslost to trigger more than Dagger/Pascal and Equihash.

I was on 384.76. Installed 388.31 yesterday and it seems better but then finally crashed again. Trying 387.92 now.

If nobody has an idea why it's happening.. Is there a way to get rid of the PRESS OK box.. so at least 3 cards can mine until i wake/get home? Or auto reboot the system on that error so they all can start mining? The ongpuslost.bat works but not for that error :(

Any ideas?

EDIT

Windows 8.1
NHML v1.8.1.5

Old GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R
Old e8400
8GB RAM
3x EVGA 1060 SC 6GB
1x PNY 1060 6GB

I think the PNY is the one having/causing problems because when i pres OK all the EVGA's start mining. I have to reboot for NHML to even see the PNY again

you might be able to use restart on timer or auto kill on error tools for example.

Code:

@echo off

echo -------------------------------------------------------------------
echo Simple script to restart your miner software after a period of time
echo -------------------------------------------------------------------
echo:

set executable=ethminer.exe
set commandline= -F http://pooladdress -G

set runforseconds=1800
set restartinseconds=10
set /a counter=0
timeout 15
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
:start
start "ETHMiner" %executable% %commandline%
echo:
echo The software will run for %runforseconds% seconds
timeout %runforseconds%
taskkill /f /im %executable%
echo:
echo Restarting the software in %restartinseconds% seconds (%counter%)
timeout %restartinseconds%
set /a counter+=1
echo:
echo:
goto start

just put what ever command line you have on .bat file in "start "ETHMiner" %executable% %commandline% "and it simulates the same thing.
