(HELP) Etash 1080Ti Failure to Launch

[TRexMcStubyArms]

Windows 10-fully updated
New Nvidia driver
(3) 1080Tis of mixed brands

I normally use this rig for timetraveler or equihash but I wanted to give EthPill a try.  I've tried both Claymore 11.6 and 11.7 as well as Phoenix.  I can't get past the 2nd line on miner boot up before I get the Ethminer has stopped working pop up.

Any ideas what to look for or could be the issue?  I'm completely stumped.

Please post your config or .bat file and your Clock settings

It would also much appreciated if you could also post any errors seen

since you could launch other miner, seems you only have a prob with settings

Do you have afterburner turned on? From what i've read on the ETHlargment thread, you have to turn off any and all overclocking software before running the miner. Basically the steps are as follows:

1. start ethlargment
2. start miner
3. start afterburner (or other overclocking software)

Negatory on the Afterburner, I thought it might be that as well.  At this point I don't think its a pill problem, but more a miner/rig issue.  Even with just the miner open alone with no other background programs, it crashes.  This same batch file and miner works just fine on my 1070 rig.

Code:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal mywallet -epsw x -mode 1

On the miner terminal, it says:

ETH: 1 pool is Specified
Main Ethereum pool is eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999

It stops after that and I get the pop up: EthDcrMiner64.exe has stopped working.

*BUMP*

I'll gladly tip anyone who can help me out of this jam.

Start EthDcrMiner64 miner. If it start ok you see:

CUDA initializing...
NVIDIA Cards available: 3
CUDA Driver Version/Runtime Version: 9.1/8.0

ETH: Stratum - Connected

ETH: Authorized
Setting DAG epoch #184...

Create GPU buffer

Setting DAG epoch #184  done

ETH - Total Speed: 106 Mh/s, Total Shares: 0, Rejected: 0, Time: 00:00

Then run OhGodAnETHlargementPill-r2 and see result.

If it not start try without -mode 1, different driver/rizer etc.

I can't make it past "Main Ethereum pool is eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999" on any version of Claymore I've tried.  I'd be happy if I could just get to CUDA initializing...

You can download last Nvidia driver 397.31 from site. You can install new driver. When installing the driver, select expert mode and clean installation.

That's actually the first thing I did.   I just tried it again, no difference

can you check your event logs

Startmenu

type eventvwr

Windows Logs>Application

you may get an idea on the cause of error

Maybe try disconnecting 2/3 GPUs and try to see if it will mine with a single GPU? It could be a GPU hardware problem. Are the risers/connections/ good and is the power supply sufficient?

Other things i would consider doing:
1. Turn off antivirus.
2. Try mining a different algo using a different miner.

could be the problem with overclocking is the reason there?
or as far as remember there were some important command line option in order to start ethminer , I mean the ones for type of proxe connection? maybe there is a problem?

***Update***

I followed the Windows error logs and it came down to an OpenCL error.  The error was occurring due to Team Viewer.  I didn't figure this out until I directly tied my monitor to that rig and started working.  No Team Viewer running and bam, all 3 cards running perfectly with the pill.
