Hey guys,
Anyone else having an issue mining ETH (and ZCL now) and the rig crashing freezing?
Seems that something happen on the ETH miner, watchdog thinks it lost a GPU and tries to restart 3main. But on both of my rigs, when this happens the system freezes and I have to manually restart.
Errors I have seen -
GPU Utilization is low: restarting 3main...
Thread exited with code: 29
Is there a way to disable 3main restarting without disabling watchdog? The miner would start mining again once connected, but this freezing is my issue.
I'm mining hush temporarily with zero issues. Was on ZCL before the fork without issues as well, same settings and whatnot. And was mining ETH for about 3 weeks with no issues. Now it won't stop crashing after being up 12-24 hours each time. It's driving me nuts.
Two separate rigs, both 13 card (1070 and 1070 Ti's)
The only time I have ever had a rig freeze was ultimately due to OC being too high. Lowering the GPU OC by just a bit (5 or 10) fixed my issue.
I am not sure I totally understand your question, but if you want to disable the the 3main restart, the only way to do this is to not run the watchdog at all. To do that, change this in 1bash:
MINER_WATCHDOG="YES"
to
MINER_WATCHDOG="NO"
Shouldn't be an overclock issue. Running Hush right now for two days straight no issue.
Running 50 core and 200 mem at 80% TDP.
Def do not want to turn off watchdog. I've ran with these settings fine for multiple coins and long periods of time. ETH was running for over a month with zero issues and now all the sudden with the same settings, same miner, different rigs crashes every 12ish hours within minutes of eachother. Even switched servers and same issue. Something else is at play here.
Like I mentioned, my personal desktop that mines I see ethminer restart randomly exactly when the rigs go down. It doesn't make much sense.
I had a similar issue to this a few months ago and was told it was an issue within NVOC. That when the miner switched to "donation" mode it would freeze and the solution was to switch miners. I've tried ETHMINER, GENOIL and CLAYMORE. All the same issue.
