Problems with lol miner

[rockafella1014]

Hi guys,

I am letting my son use some old hardware I had just to play around with mining. I dont really know a whole lot about mining myself. I have successfully created a .bat file to mine BEAM coin on the computer for him. The computer had 2 HD7970's in it overclocked to 1250Mhz core and 1650Mhz memory. I am getting a problem on card 2. Under card two I am getting an error that says "Active:  false (OpenCL init failure: Memory object allocation failure)" After doing some investigating, I have read this is an error that pertains to the pagefile. The system has 8gb of ram. I have 2 SSD card and a standard hardrive. On the system partition I have changed the pagefile to 16gb. However, I am still getting the error. Can someone please help me with this issue?

Thank you,
Rocky

Try to increase more the paging file from 16gb to 32gb let see if it fix your issue.

If not, try another miner that support lower cards like this one https://miniz.ch/ it supports 2gb vram cards like gtx 1050.

first... you should verify that you have 16gb of virtual memory allocated in the advanced tab in systems settings of the control panel.

second.. post in the lolminer thread for help on lolminer

Running a new miner on old hardware is always a challenge. Backward compatibility
isn't always maintained. If your son has any technical skills it would be a good challenge
to get it working.

The error you see could be either incompatible compilation or intensity too high.
Pagefile is not an issue in this case because those cards don't have anywhere near 8 GB each.

If this were Nvidia GPUs it would be necessary to make sure the miner is compiled to support
old hardware. Current default compilation and pre-built Windows binaries may not do so.

New software may not even be able to run on old hardware, This is more likely with new algos.
You may need to use a miner that's been around for a while and would be likely to still have the
legacy code to support old cards.

Once you get it compiled you need to adjust the intensity (usually -i) when starting. Intensity is
important and is different for every card and every algo and is usually chosen automatically by
the miner based on the card model and the algo selected. New miners may not have intensity
information for old cards so it would have to be set manually using trial and error.

I don't know how old your son is or how tech-savvy he is but this could be a good challenge
with lots of learning opportunities.
