Same thing over and over.  It says.
'cuda_check_cpu_setTarget '  at line 28 : unknown error
This happens on any version.

Try to remove the overclock. Remember to upgrade the driver to the latest.
other things to try:
Add 16GB of virtual memory in windows
or reduce the intensity

I did all  ... no good.
I have 16 gig ram.
It has been doing this for some time..but right now I can't get it to last 5 minutes.

Remove one of the cards. Mine for a while. If it works, change the risercable to a powered riser, and mount the card again. Check the powersupply and remove  dust.

'cuda_check_cpu_setTarget '  at line 28 : unknown error

They are on power risers... it's ccminer that is the problem I think..because on crash it won't restart either.

no restart after crash usually points to the windows drivers crashing ...

have you reset the machine? ...

if not - do so ... it will more than likely still crash - but if it mines even for a little bit after the reboot - then it will most certainly be your drivers that you have installed ...

downgrade - or upgrade the drivers ... that may fix the issue ...

if it continues with the SAME crash - then downgrade the ccminer version you are using ( or recompile a previous ) ...

let us know what the results are ...

Well it seems the humidity at 92% was causing it. And ccminer doesn't have anything build in it to start mining again at crash.
thx

92%???

where have you got those miners? ... in a swimming pool? ...

do you have any form of dehumidifier - or air conditioning for them? ...

ouch mate ...

Such high relative humidity is common reflection of increasing temperatures and little air renovation, and makes any ventilation system work harder to achieve the same results as with less humidity. Summer has arrived, but you do have various options: fans running faster, run the AC for lower ambient temperatures, lower clocks for less heat generation, etc...    

PS: Running the AC is my favorite pick, because it actually lowers the relative humidity when it is on cooling mode. In this particular case, you get double benefits: less humidity, and cooler ambient temperatures. Though overall mining efficiency goes out the window.

No it's summer time..and at night it can go as high as 95%..but it crashed anyhow ... turning my rig off till sp puts in an auto start. I had enough. Crash..crash... crash...crash....'cuda_check_cpu_setTarget '  at line 28 : unknown error

Under windows just ccminer restart won't help. Cause after crash driver goes to some recovery mode (p1,p2 ?) with very low clocks. You'll need to restart driver also or a whole system.

No...it displays that it stopped working and then I click on that it stops the display then I click on to open bat file to run and it runs at normal levels. It's ccminer that crashes not the drivers.
ps forget the humidity ..it wasn't that.

No..but I was thinking of doing that with a timer..but now 1  750ti  making .0012 btc a day. It was working good with r43 but.
EDIT:I think I have a card going bad not sure yet.

5.6MHASH@38W. Low clockspeed/memory speed

Is this a particular 750ti that has such low wattage? Is there some way to find these specific models? Some people in here were reporting like 68w.

Also 750tis have ridiculous overhead as far as systems go, but given that efficiency is almost double the 970s, that's a eyebrow raiser.

that's the standard wattage of the 750ti (nvidia design, not the custom ones...) if you edit the original bios that's what you will find, actually nvidia-smi, is probably just reading the bios info

I've said this before and say I say it again; software reported power consumption numbers cannot be trusted.
The smi reported 38, 45, 46 watt cap figures are not representative of how much the cards can pull regardless of having a 6-pin or not.

If Sp_'s SMI figures were correct the 750 Ti would be 48% more efficient than a 970. That is laughable. That would be 6.78 W per mhs for the 750 Ti and 10.06 W per mhs for the 970 (to be fair the 157 W is a low fluctuation and the 970 is using slightly more on average so it has lower efficiency or higher W/mhs).

750 Ti's without 6-pin, with stock speeds and unmodified BIOS with release 55 are using 57.5 watt per card which is a measured figure while SMI is showing 38W. The real and measured efficiency of the 750 Ti is therefore 10.26 watts per mhs which is more in line with the 970 as expected.

Use a kill-a-watt or a multimeter or a UPS that reports power consumption but do not take software reported figures for granted.

[sp_]

hmm. Cuda 7.5 is shit. Need to find a way to improve the AES code.

x11 is down 30% on the 750ti mining at 2Mhash. (3Mhash with cuda 6.5)

[hashbrown9000]

will also donate some for the improved neoscrypt miner.

also, my miners are kept in an air conditioned room set to 80 deg. F.  They don't seem to have any trouble, even overclocked, never getting above 63 C on the hottest card.

[hashbrown9000]

Anyone get this message on your wallet page for hashpower.co ?

We are short of the DigitalCash (DASH) currency. Please select another one for payments until we find more blocks.

I think I might move to FTC payouts for now.

80 deg. F. is rather hot for the ambient temp in the room. Drop it down by like 20 deg. and you'll probably see a bit of a performance boost...not to mention the room will actually be bearable to be in

[hashbrown9000]

80 is cold. it was hitting 95+ with 9 cards in there going full steam.  and the room isn't really used for anything else.

[pokeytex]

Talk about hot!!!

These are my (2) rigs in the garage.



It runs about 95 degrees fahrenheit in there but I have a big fan blowing on the rig.  ** The winter is great and cold in the garage so the rig runs very well! **



The entire rig is plugged into a power strip which is plugged into a kil-o-watt meter.



Oh and I use every available space possible for mining.  This is my office machine with (4) 750 ti's - kinda rigged :-)



Just figured I would share my set up.

That's what I thought. I use a wall meter to measure my wattage usage. It'd be weird if the same architecture and pretty much the same cards were THAT much more efficient. Lower clock speeds and memory speeds usually will save some power in addition to smaller chips which take less power, but not that much less.

Ahhh a tidy rig... Looks pretty. Closet shelving is pretty good to hang GPUs from. Little bit heavy though.

i do like the office pc miner!  what cards are in there? they seem smaller than even the single fan evga type.

LOL - heavy is true.  I had to add a middle support structure for the (2) power supplies , gpu's, and network switch.

They are the EVGA 750ti's SC.  Single fan and no 6pin.  Powered USB risers FTW!
