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.
Triple-Check your power cables. The ones powering the riser and the one(s) powering the GPU. It looks like there a power delivery problem of some sorts. When I had a temperature reading error (511C) it turned out one of the power cables to the riser had melted.
