Nvidia 1070s get Cuda 11 error

[844bankbtc]

Windows 10 12gb RAM
I have the Asus 8250 motherboard
Claymore dual miner 11.7 mining ETH only

I have (7) Nvidia 1070s and (4) 1070Tis attached to it

Everytime I try to run it I get this error
"CUDA error 11 - cannot write buffer for DAG"

Any ideas?

[stefan2208]

Try to increase virtual memory, i am sure that it is a problem. (mypc properties - advanced system settings - advanced - performance settings - advanced - try 16000-32000)

[844bankbtc]

I increased my virtual memory to 22OOOMB and the same errors

I also uninstalled the nvidia drivers and reinstalled v372.54

[stefan2208]

Try newest drivers 397.31 and older claymore. Also try to add -lidag 0 or -eres 0 to bat file. I had the same problem and on all of my rigs i set initial 16000 max 32000 virtual memory. If doesn't help try to add cards one by one.

[ivakar]

how about your operating system, is it up to date and fully updated? i guess after you have updated the drivers for your video card the only one step to do is to update operating system

[844bankbtc]

It was the RAM. When I set the RAM to 30000MB I stopped getting the DAG errors but the computer would freeze after a few hours. Only have (2) ram slots on this motherboard so bought a 16GB stick and threw it in.

Currently running with virtual memory set to automatic and seems to be fine. Will report back if the freezing up continues.

[844bankbtc]

It made it until about 4am before it froze again. Entire computer, not just the miner. Turned the screen back on but no signal and couldn't get it to come on.

I already had turned power saver settings to "Never" turn off for both the computer and monitor so it isn't that

[gt_addict]

What are you OC settings for each card? What memory manufacturer has each card got?

[844bankbtc]

No overclocking right now. It frozeabout 9pm EST while I was out. That means it ran from about 0400 to 2100  or 17 hours before freezing again. Here is the last long

[szafa]

When my Windows froze hdd was the problem.

[gt_addict]

What drivers are you running?

[844bankbtc]

Windows is fully up to date
Claymore 11.7
Nvidia 388.71

I was trying to avoid updating to 397 because I had read about all the issues it had

[844bankbtc]

Did it again without an error message or anything. Just stops. Here is the log
