![]() ![]() I will then, install ONLY the basic Nvidia driver tested up to last year in December just after that build was released (12/16/16 I think).Īs you will see, there will be NO MSI Afterburner NO Corsair Link - this is just Windows, GPU and drivers. I will NOT upgrade to the Creators Update due to deferment of updates closing to only 7 days. In this case, Windows 10 Pro (aka 10.0 or10240) RTM then upgrade to 1511/1607. ![]() It's a PITA to upgrade that OS because you cannot keep files and settings with that version of Windows so I'm going to start once again! So I can start with fresh Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 Enterprise. I cannot see a means to disable it in UEFI of Asus PRIME Z270M-PLUS (I'm going to trash this board soon for an X99 when I get this GPU mess resolved). I started with fresh install of Windows - with nothing but required Intel Chipset/Open CL drivers (there is on board video as I use it to drive the display not the Nvidia GPU's). *** ZEC output is not affected, I can mine ZEC with excellent Sol/s and GPU's are properly detected as well as CPU *** *** Having my wife randomly press the spacebar on an open PowerShell seems to get the thread moving again usually (on any miner for ETH or ZEC) *** *** When I did have Afterburner installed and Corsair Link, I could see the GPU drop to nothing in power when the miner is not responding properly *** What I'd really like to know is (where the hell are the log files for me to debug? The errors or crashing I will post later, because that seems to be related to the programs watchdog essentially not restarting the GPU. At first, this was attempted on Windows 10 Pro and we shall do so again. I have a two of three good screen captures of system/miner/gpu details on Windows 8.1 prior and after with Windows 10 Enterprise. Let's forget about the crashing, stability is nothing if one can't even get hashing rates where they should be. Any feedback you can provide would be awesome! Thank you! I can upgrade this semi-working rig now if you wish but I need to be able to log consistency and errors. This is problematic because my 7th generation Core i7 will only run on Windows 10 not to mention any security risks. Do you have any suggestions on what to check here? Are there any debugging options I can set (and output to log files, I asked in a different topic)? ![]() I have all my environment variables set and 16GB swap file. In this case, your miner reports the correct hash rate but again crashes randomly. ![]() I then used the same rig and downgraded to Windows 8.1 with the same driver just to see what occurs. In this case, I started with a fresh image, drivers only with Corsair and MSI Afterburner software - same result with an occasional crash in which the miner would not restart itself. This is a new install on Windows 10 Enterprise and all GPU would only report 2-3H/s with Nvidia driver 384.76 (I initially started with a 37x.xx driver from the end of 2016). "Not supported" also means that any issues that may arise from Windows changes or driver updates may never get resolved if they don't also affect supported hardware.I found an odd issue after I switched from ZEC to your miner for ETH. "Not supported" does not mean it won't work - just that it may not and if it doesn't, the only place you can look for help is from other users on the community forum. "Support" means just that: assistance resolving issues expectation of it working. Much of Afterburner's functionality works even on unsupported hardware. Previously, the fact that Afterburner could always detect the GPU shows that the discrete GPU was not disabled by Optimus.ġ) Optimus got switched on (could be Nvidia update, laptop driver update, settings reset or corruption, BIOS/UEFI reset) Ģ) an issue with Optimus was resolved that previously prevented it from working on your system orģ) an application profile got removed or changed, that previously set the discrete GPU active could be for any common tool that is always running at the same time as AB, not necessarily just AB. The current situation clearly shows that Optimus is disabling the GPU then no software can see it. For it to have stopped working, something on your system must have changed. ![]()
