1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG on: August 11, 2018, 06:59:37 PM
Hi everyone,

I was tracking down this issue for a long time.  I finally resolved it 5 minutes ago.

8 gpu rig (1070's)
Windows 10
2 850w PSU's
8gb ram

1. Reset windows https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/reset-windows-10-pc
2. Set paging file to min16000- max30000
3. Install latest NVidia drivers 988.2 as of August 2018.
4. Install Claymore 11.9
5. Enable (Allow access) through windows defender if the firewall message pops up the first time you run the miner (see below for what happened to me and caused something to be blocked by the firewall)
5. Here are my claymore settings:
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool ssl://us2.ethermine.org:5555 -ewal d029a5fa47d499e56df257a2e73617e2ae84290b.Banger -mode 1 -lidag 1


Here's how I came to the steps above:

The miner settings didn't seem to matter, but I did -eres 0 and -lidag 1 to no avail.

I upgraded system memory from 4gb to 8gb.  I think this helped allowing me to use less virtual memory.

I added 850psu (upgraded from a 550w), so now my system has 2 850psu's

I tried old and new Nvidia drivers.  Currently i'm using the latest NVidia drivers

I was on claymore 10.0 and it suddenly stopped working.  I upgraded to 11.9 and also tried 11.6, to no avail.

**Here's the key part:  In order to upgrade the miner, I had to disable the firewall.  Something with that screwed things up.  So here is what I did to fix the issue:  I did the Reset Windows option https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/reset-windows-10-pc**

Once that was done, my paging file options went from 22000max to 30000max.  So, I updated it to 16000 / 30000 paging file.  Then, I started miner and still got the error.  But the firewall popped up and said something was blocked!!  So, I clicked "allow access" on that window.  Restarted miner and boom, all working great now!

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
