Stops mining every couple of hours & requires PC restart

[SouthRibbleTech]

I have been running claymore miner successfully for approx 3 months with only one crash.

Yesterday I downloaded and installed Nicehash version 2.0.1.1 beta , it has completed it's benchmarking on my six GTX1060 6Gb and started mining, but every 2 to 4 hours, it just stops mining and I have to restart the computer to get it running again.

I don't see any errors in the log.

This is a dedicated mining rig with nothing else running. Windows 10 8 GB Memory 6 x GTX1060 6GB

Same problem more or less. The excavator continues to run - showing zero. Also, when this happens, I cannot always stop the excavator server using the "Stop" button on app, I can still kill parent process manually. But, most times the 'Stop' button fails when this is happening, too.

When I start mining it appears fine. Only after some hours will it revert to this - usually when i wake up the next day, which is a bit annoying.

The app worked well for about a week.. now it's doing this. (Windows7 x64, 12 GB, Just 1 GTX 1060/6gb)

I have the same problem and my guess is that the problem probably has something to do with switching.

Switching between algorithms seems to put extra load on the system and increases the chance of failure. As you add more cards the overall chance of failure is even higher because one card going down will likely take down the whole system.

One simple solution is to prevent it from switching, or make the switching interval really long so it doesn't switch too often. You can prevent switching from happening by enabling only selected algorithms in NiceHash miner legacy. I'm not familiar with NiceHash miner v2 so I'm not sure if it's possible to disable algorithms there.

I have solved the problem for me by increasing power to my cards. The rig was pulling circa 550w now it pulls 650w but has been running for almost 48 hours with no crashes. I am letting nice hash take care of algorithms automatically.
