Please try to add "-lidag 0" to the command line. This creates the DAG buffer at the lowest intensity which apparently help with stability. If that can not solve your problem try to add "-eres 0" to command line also.
I have do it to my friend's rig with same problem as yours, and run correctly Smiley

Easiest fix is to dump Windows and run an actual mining OS based on linux. They are more reliable and will increase your profits just by the fact that you dont ever have to mess with them. I have linux miners with uptimes of over 150 days just mining away happily without ever being touched.

Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.

Try to increase virtual memory.

I have set VM on 16000

Last I added a card on nvidia rig, I had to go over 26000 VM for 5 cards, it may be even more with eight cards.

I would set 50 gb or more in your case.

I had linux installed before w10 and it crashed me every 3 days
