Hello all,
I'm having trouble with the miner crashing my system. I have version 0.3.4b. Usually the crash presents itself as the system not responding to any input, but sometimes it just straight up reboots seemingly out of nowhere. This happens at stock clock and while underclocking, and the GPU (the hottest component) never gets above 60C. When it first started happening, I would have to leave it idle for at least an hour (sometimes much more) before it would crash, but if I was actively interacting with the computer, even for hours, it would never crash. Recently, after tinkering with clock settings and intensity values, it has been happening much more frequently, and even when I'm interacting with the computer (we're talking after 15 minutes of mining). This allowed me to finally catch the crash when it happened, and I figured out that the system appears to remain responsive (I can turn Num Lock, caps lock, etc. on and off) with the display frozen for about 10 seconds, which makes me think that the fault starts at the GPU. I have also been able to recreate this in Ubuntu 16.04, which means that it's likely not windows. At first, I thought it might be some windows service that was pushing the card over the edge, but now I have no clue. One site suggested I try fiddling with the TDR registry values, but it seems like many of the TDR values (including TdrDelay, TdrLevel, etc) are completely missing from the registry. I have also tried flashing my UEFI, as well as reinstalling the latest drivers from nVidia. I wasn't thinking of mining when I built my computer, but it should be more than capable of handling it. My specs are as follows:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 (liquid cooled w/ Corsair H100i)
GPU: GTX 1080 ROG Strix
MB: ASRock AB350M Pro4
Mem: 2x G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 8GB
OS: Windows 10 Home 64 bit
