Nicehash won't start - White screen

Open kendalf1 opened this issue 6 years ago • 9 comments

For all versions prior to Version 2.0.2.1, they programs crashes with hard error window. For the latest version - Version 2.0.2.1, the nicehash windows turns white and stays that way. This happened after April windows 10 updates. Running 1060's and 1070's, 13 cards on a MB.

+1 I'm also having this issue. I'm running a 1070 and a 750ti and am receiving this white screen. I have had to switch to the legacy miner.

I recently reinstalled Windows 10 and started experiencing the same issue. Seems to freeze on a white window after scanning CUDA devices.

If you're remotely connecting to your computer (RDP, Chrome Remote Desktop, VNC, Teamviewer, etc.), have only Nvidia GPUs installed, and have no monitor hooked up to the motherboard, then the issue may be because Windows 10 has removed the Intel graphics device but the registry and \DriverStore\FileRepository\ still contain the driver and references to the card. Check this by opening Device Manager. If this is the case your onboard device should not appear in the list under Display adapters.

If this is your situation, try the following. Run Sysinternals ProcMon (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon) and filter only on NHM. After capturing until NHM shows the blank white screen, strop the capture and perform a search for 'OpenCL'. Ignore the \AppData\Local\Temp entries and continue until you find a path showing C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\xxxxx. Take note of the folder name. (Example: C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\igdlh64.inf_amd64_250db833a1cd577e\IntelOpenCL64.dll). In Windows Explorer browse to that folder, right click and take ownership of the folder, propogating the ownership to all child objects, then add the currently logged on user or Administrators group with full access, again propogating permissions to all child object. Now delete or rename the folder, reboot, and open Nicehash Miner. If you don't want to run ProcMon you can simply delete or rename all folders starting with 'igd' in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository.

Removing Intel graphics worked for me: Device Manager -> Show hidden devices -> Remove Intel Graphics -> Reboot.

I have the same problem. Onboard IGFX is turned off in BIOS, Windows 7 64bit, GTX 1060 3GB, and Nicehash Miner 2 latest beta only show white screen.

gpedit.msc

Turn off windows defender and real-time protection and antimalware. Did the trick for me!
