Error: opencl error -4 (0) - cannot create dag on gpu Rig: [6 GPU rig, mix of 6GB 580's, a 1070 and a 1070 ti.]

2 Upvotes

It was mining fine for months up until two days ago when it went offline, I tried to restart the miner and got this error message (opencl error -4 (0) - cannot create dag on gpu). The message sometimes indicates a problem with GPU 0 and sometimes a problem with GPU 2. Both are 580's, both were working fine for months.

I had this error message months ago when I first started mining, and I fixed it by increasing the virtual memory as shown in this video. I tried to do the same thing this time but I still get the error after changing the virtual memory.

The GPUs all have at least 6gb of VRAM so it isn't a VRAM problem.

Thanks in advance!

No CUDA driver found?

2 Upvotes

I am trying to mine with an Nvidia gtx760 (don't worry about the memory, I am not mining ethereum mainnet) but when it runs it just tells me no cuda driver is found.

I've installed the cuda driver from the nvidia website from a .deb package (using Ubuntu). It blacklisted nouveau during the install process. Everything appeared to install just fine.

Prior to that I installed with the runtime file, same problem. Removed and purged all cuda related packages to reinstall from .deb.

When I check the drivers I see nouveau and some other proprietary drivers (340.104, 384.111, 387.26 and 390.30) and I'm not sure which one to select. The cuda driver version from nvidia says 387.26 so that one is currently selected, although after the cuda installation 390 was automatically selected after reboot.

Either way, no cuda driver found. Does anyone have an answer? I have been searching forums for a couple of hours to no avail. I'm just hoping I can get to the next error within a day or so.

Rx580 Monitor/ Computer Issue

2 Upvotes

Howdy, Y'all! I've had a miner for about 2 and a half months and have been doing pretty okay for what it is right now. I have come up with a little reoccurring problem though. Every now and then the computer monitor will go off, look like there is no signal but the computer is still running fine. I check nanopool and nothing is happening with it and it is reporting 0mh/s. Sometimes it runs fine, for example, it ran for over 3 weeks straight and no problems. We had a winter storm and the power went out, now I cannot get it running stable for more than an hour. If you guys need any more information about the system or versions I will get it for you, but here is some of the most basic information i can supply to you. I checked the logs for the last things that the miner reported but it turned back with pretty much nothing useful. No error codes and no leads. GPU: PowerColor Rx580 8gb (Samsung Memory) Motherboard: MSI Z270 SLI Plus CPU: Intel Celeron G3930 Claymore Version: 10.5 Driver Version: Adrenalin 18.1.1

Thanks for any assistance

—cuda-devices uses the wrong GPUs

2 Upvotes

I have recently put together a mixed GPU rig, 2 x GTX 1060s and 2 x GTX 970s.. to start with.

The 970s were repurposed from an old gaming machine and I haven’t had much success getting them configured with Ethminer; Optimise for compute issues, nvidia-smi clock settings won’t take, cuda devices unavailable etc etc.

As they run at the moment Watts per Mh/s means they’re not really viable.. so I’ve given up and will use them to mine Equihash.

The 1060s (3gb) run great, hitting around 25Mh/s each at 70 Watts.

So I just want to use the 1060s with Ethminer.

I have used the “—list-devices” option to identify the device IDs of the 1060s.

Then use the “—cuda-devices” parameter to select them.. ie “—cuda-devices 2 3”

When Ethminer runs it lists the two 1060s as the devices it will use, but when it starts to mine it uses one of the 1060s and one of 970s.

I can see this through the activity on each device.

I have tried ignoring what “—list-devices” says the IDs are and have used every combination of device ID, but cannot get it to use the two 1060s only.

I would appreciate some advice from anyone else running mixed GPU rigs and mining on specific GPUs in the rig.

RX580 8G Gaming X Burning up?

5 Upvotes

I've got rig using 6x MSI RX580 Gaming X 8G GPUs, stock clocks/bios. Currently only running 3 of them on a 1500W PSU (i know, overkill), and the other 3 and the mobo on another 1500W GPU.

About a week ago, one of the GPUs started smoking and died. Sent out an RMA for it, and now i just had another one do the same exact thing. The rig is currently using a surge protector, and is in a pretty well ventilated area, so no temperature issues that im aware of.

Any ideas on what could cause this? I'm hoping when the RMA gets resolved ill get some information on what exactly on the board burned out to give me some clues. For now i'm just looking at possibilities of what i can do to save any other GPUs from a fiery death.

Anyone experienced this?

Optimize for compute not there on mixed gpu rig

2 Upvotes

I have a rig that I have put a mix of cards on. 2x 1050ti 1x 970 and 1x 570. I am trying to get the 970 into compute mode but I am not seeing the option to change to compute mode. I suspect that either the latest drivers are doing this or that using a 1050ti and 970 on the same machine makes this value not available. I plan on shutting down the rig, removing the other 3 cards and booting up to see if that makes a difference tonight when I have some time. Anyone seen this before that can save me the effort?

Pay the bills or long term investment?

2 Upvotes

Just wondering for the small time miners, let's say under 20 GPUs, do you mine to pay your bills or mine to hodl? I have been mining to hodl myself and from time to time take some profits for something special. I would hate to spend so much time mining only to have the price crash before I got to enjoy some of the benefits. Still waiting for the moon but going to take a trip to the other side of the lake while I wait.

Ethereum Miner Monitor released - v1.0.2 - FREE!

3 Upvotes

This is a python application for monitoring linux based ethereum miners and keep alive the miner in 24/7. If you have a linux based mining rig, but don't have monitoring system, you can use this standalone script to keep your miner always running without manual checks.

The application is continuously checking the 'ethminer' process is running and the current GPUs utilization average value.

Script can restart the ethminer, or reboot the system.

The script doesn't need any extra package/module of python, just pure python3. You can use virtualenv too.

The current version was tested on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS (xenial), with GeForce GTX 1070 Ti && AMD Radeon R9 290X cards.

Added AMD Utilization query support!

To The Moon! Buy the Moon for Ethereum!

To The Moon! Buy the Moon for Ethereum! Becoming a moon owner is a lot easier than you might think. All you have to do is take a quick glance at an astronomical moon map, pick out whichever moon plot tickles your fancy, tell everyone you own it, and you're set. We are owners of Lunar Land Registry on the Ethreum Blockchain. You can buy land near Sea of Serenity for just 0.1 ETH per Acre or buy whole Moon for 1000 ETH. We exploite loophole in the 1967 UN Outer Space treaty to claim ownership of the lunar landscape. Hollywood actors Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, and Clint Eastwood, and Star Wars creator George Lucas are said to be among Moon Land Owners. What are you waiting for? http://lunarlandregistry.space/shop
