So I started having driving issues again with windows 7. I said screw it and downloaded HiveOS, used Rufus to make a usb stick bootable and now I just boot to HiveOS. No need for windows, no need for my solid state hard drives, no need to even learn linux because it was designed to mine at boot, just sign up for an account and make a usb stick bootable, boot to it and enter your id, boom, your mining. Ive been running straight for 6 days without rebooting. So much easier than dealing with Windows crap. So thanks for the suggestion to use HiveOS!!!!!! You just made life easier 

I tried it again with the latest claymore and new bat file, my vmem is good and I still received same error message.

So I just spent today rolling back to Windows 7, and it sucked, didnt even have ethernet or usb drivers with the windows 7, so had to transfer driver files using a sata hard drive manually, lol.  Anyway, all cards are working and im mining Ethereum right now, on Windows 7. Shame about windows 10 but thanks for everyones help!

Ah ok thanks for your replies. He does say windows 7, so I will try that first. If that doesnt work I will learn linux I guess

I dont have the time to learn linux. Its been working fine on my windows pc until this started happening, and i think it started with some update. I could just reinstall windows 10 and disable updates, but thats no fun. Seems like there should be a fix for this.

Hello,

A month ago I saw a post about this but I cant seem to find it anymore so I apologies if there is a duplicate post. But I need help, if possible.

I am mining Ethereum, on windows 10,  I have 6 1060 gtx 3gb cards that have all worked fine since I got them to work 4 or 5 months ago. About a month ago I was getting the error message below, (Received same error for all cards eventually). I added the -eros 0, adjusted vram, and it fixed the problem. Yesterday it started happening again, all the settings are still in place from a month ago. Any ideas how to fix this issue? I really do not want to format but should I format and try to put on windows 7?
