I think we at least need the error code returned from ethminer process.

Put this in your script after ethminer -U -P... or execute in command line after ethminer terminates.

Have you installed the latest NVidia drivers from their web site? 398.11 works without problems.

So it works with 0.13, but not with 0.15?

I had -1073741819 when I dropped my 8th NV card in. Bumped up page file to 30 gig (remembered seeing it in the asrock mb manual), works fine w 14. Ill try 15 this weekend when I figure the new bat arguments out. :)

Also confirmed, 0.13 works for me as well. Otherwise I get exactly the same results as @Daspharion

15rc2 works fine in 2 of my rigs. Win 10 build 17134, NV driver 397.64, 8 NV 1070 TI cards, 8GB ram, 30GB page file...

The nugget I mentioned earlier from ASUS when I caught the -107374181 error upon creating the 8th dag. Increasing the page file fixed it for me.

Section 1, Page 7: ASUS B250 Mining Expert Manual
“To make your build more stable, when using 8 or more cards for mining, we recommend that you install 4GB memory modules and change the size of the virtual memory paging file to 30GB.”

@Daspharion how much ram are you running?

I encounter the same issue and tried everything suggested above without luck.

Test rig

  • i7-7700K
  • 2 x Aorus GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Waterforce
  • 2 x 8 GB RAM (I have read somewhere on Internet "8 GB per card is perfect")
  • Fresh install (diskpart clean all first) of Windows 10 Pro x64 10.0.17134
  • Fresh install of nVidia drivers 398.36
  • Fresh install of nVidia CUDA Toolkit 9.2
  • Fresh install of Aorus Engine 1.3.5 to overclock the cards a bit : GPU 1746 MHz, Memory 12096 MHz
  • Windows page file set to 32768-32768

Tests

  • Defining Windows page file range to 8192-8192, 16384-16384 and 32768-32768 did not help
  • Trying options -L 1 and -L 2 did not help
  • Running ethminer.exe from another directory or from the same directory did not help, ethminer starts anyway
  • Trying options -G , -U or -X did not help either
  • ethminer.exe --list-devices -U returns as expected

I have no clue so mining with ethminer 0.13.0 seems to be a workaround for now.

i am trying ethminer 0.15.0 on 64-bit manjaro (kernel 4.14.57) with latest nvidia drivers (396.45) with

ethminer -U --cuda-devices 1 2 --farm-recheck 200 -v 1 -P stratum1+tcp://ADDRESS@eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999/WORKER/EMAIL

and it crashes with

Error: clGetPlatformIDs

terminate called without an active exception
./run.txt: line 1:  2119 Aborted                 (core dumped)

why is it calling an OpenCL function when I used -U ?

Тhanks, I did this and my rig started working with all cards “To make your build more stable, when using 8 or more cards for mining, we recommend that you install 4GB memory modules and change the size of the virtual memory paging file to 30GB.” 👍

Hi ! Big news !

I wrote #1224 (comment) above, regarding the "auto-exiting with error -1073741819" issue, 2.5 months ago.

My rig is still the exact same hardware and ethminer 0.16.0rc1+commit.68ca5dcf works like a charm, both on Ethereum and Ethereum Classic, without any issue, and without exiting.

What I did

I don't know which one of these solved the issue, and I will probably never know, but everything works great right now.
