have you tried re-install card driver?

may you have some failed update on your windows, check it! another way you can try to rollback your windows

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

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.

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
