Happy to report that so far after all the recommended solutions that I tried, I took everything apart and put it back together, reformatted windows, downloaded everything again and magically it works now.

Thanks to everyone !

Ok I will try these out.

Thanks guys I will report after my attempt.

Hello everyone,

I hope I can find a solution to this problem here, it seems that I am not the only one that has gone through this. (I have yet to fix with solutions I've seen so far)

First I will show you what I am running so far:

Windows 10 Home 64 Bit OS
1 Gigabyte GTX 1070 WINDFORCE OC 8GB  (4 others on the way, so I'm freaking out) - It is on a powered riser.
1200 W EVGA Titanium 80 Plus PSU Fully Modular
MSI Z270 A PRO MOBO
Celeron Processor
4GB DDR4 RAM
64GB SSD

My rig starts normally and begins to mine with no issues ,  then either 40 minutes later or 2 hours later the computer crashes and shuts down completely.

Error Message in red text:
NVML: cannot get current temperature, error 999 (an internal driver error occurred)
WATCHDOG: GPU 0 Hangs in OpenCL call, you need to restart miner  Sad
WATCHDOG: GPU 0 Hangs in OpenCL call, you need to restart miner  Sad
ETH: No new jobs were received for 10 mins - something is wrong with pool

Things I have tried:
1. Switched powered risers on the card
2. Re-installing NVIDIA drivers to the latest version including CUDA 9.1
3.Updated MSI BIOS
4. Kept OC settings to default.
5. Changed DNS servers to Googles
6.Manually connected to Stratum using Nanopools IP.

Should I dump nanopool and claymore entirely and move on to another software ?

Please if anyone out there has fixed this issue any help would be much appreciated I am completely stuck.

Hi there ,

So I tried the two solutions you provided and everything seemed to be working fine until the rig crashed again and shut down automatically.  (Thank you Vann for trying to help)

It mined for over an hour and half then shut down.

I received these error messages from Claymore:

NVML: cannot get current temperature, error 999 (an internal driver error occurred)
WATCHDOG: GPU 0 Hangs in OpenCL call, you need to restart miner 
WATCHDOG: GPU 0 Hangs in OpenCL call, you need to restart miner 
ETH: No new jobs were received for 10 mins - something is wrong with pool


Also when I put in the IP address for Stratum to  connect to the US east server , all the IP's lead to US west servers (not that it would be a problem but it seems weird since I put in IP addresses for east coast)

It seems to me (perhaps I am wrong) that claymore or nanopool is having some issues..

Would anyone reccommend dumping claymore/nanopool and going to another miner/pool ?

Does anyone have a fix for this issue? Please help anyone!   

Vann would you be able to walk me through that , I apologize for my ignorance.
