Miner Keeps Stopping on Windows

Find common causes of a miner repeatedly closing or stopping. This guide uses a symptom-first workflow for Windows users and avoids assuming that one setting fixes every system.

Read the log before restarting

Read the log before restarting. Confirm the current state first, make one controlled change, then compare the result with the previous run. Keep notes so a failed change can be reversed.

Check security software and permissions

Check security software and permissions. Confirm the current state first, make one controlled change, then compare the result with the previous run. Keep notes so a failed change can be reversed.

Reduce unstable overclock settings

Reduce unstable overclock settings. Confirm the current state first, make one controlled change, then compare the result with the previous run. Keep notes so a failed change can be reversed.

Verify network connectivity and configuration

Verify network connectivity and configuration. Confirm the current state first, make one controlled change, then compare the result with the previous run. Keep notes so a failed change can be reversed.

When to stop testing

Stop if you see unstable power delivery, abnormal temperatures, repeated system crashes, or hardware errors. Restore known-good settings before continuing diagnosis.
