crashes after AMD Driver update to 21.6.1

same issue!!

Easy fix...

add this before the -pool entry--- Running for a week now no issues

-clKernel 0

Example:

PhoenixMiner.exe -clKernel 0 -pool eth-us.sparkpool.com:3333 -wal sp_davidpool3.NewRigRED

If you like my answer, consider donation a little Hashpower.

Thanks and Happy Mining

IMPORTANT! Recently Github.com started deleting the repos of popular mining software devs, and on May 12th they terminated our account without any explanation. This time we were prepared, so we have moved our binaries to our own host. You can find the latest version of PhoenixMiner (as well as older releases and beta versions) here:

https://phoenixminer.info/downloads/

IMPORTANT! In light of the smear campaign from Nicehash, we have published a full timeline with our communication with them, and our thoughts about their failed attempt to tarnish our reputation.

IMPORTANT! Nvidia drivers for Windows 10 since ver. 460.79 (and newer) cause crash when PhoenixMiner starts. If you want to use these drivers, you need to upgrade to PhoenixMiner 5.4c or later version.

IMPORTANT! Ethereum Classic (ETC) network switched to a modified version of ethash, called ETCHash. If you are mining ETC you must upgrade to PhoenixMiner 5.3b or later, otherwise you will get only rejected shares when mining ETC.

IMPORTANT! All owners of AMD cards with 6 GB or 8 GB RAM must either keep drivers 20.4.x or lower (do not upgrade to 20.5.1 or later), or upgrade to PhoenixMiner 5.2e or later version to continue mining after DAG epoch 384 (ETH will pass it before the end of 2020).

Changes in version 5.6d (since 5.5c):

Added native kernels for AMD RX6700 GPUs. These are faster than the generic kernels and produce a lot less stale shares
Increased the max supported DAG epoch to 550 (should be enough to about Jan 2023)
Full support for setting clocks, fan speeds, voltages, and memory timings of AMD RX6900/6800/6700 cards
The specific hashrate is now shown in the form of kilo hashes per joule (kH/J). Example: if a GPU has hashrate of 30 MH/s with 100W power usage, the specific hashrate is 300 kH/J
Added new command-line parameters -ttj and -ttmem, allowing automatic fan speed control based on GPU hotspot (junction), and memory temperatures respectively. Example: -ttmem 83 will keep the GPU memory temperature at or bellow 83C by increasing the fan speed as necessary. These parameters can be combined with -tt, as well as with each other. These options are supported on both AMD and Nvidia GPUs that report junction and memory temperatures. For example the memory temperature is reported on Nvidia 3080, 3090, and 2080Ti.
Added new command-line parameters -tmaxj and -tmaxmem, allowing to decrease the GPU usage when the GPU hotspot (junction), or GPU memory temperatures are above the specified thresholds. These options are supported both Nvidia and AMD GPUs that report junction and memory temperatures
Fixed problem with displaying GPU temperatures of some GPUs that was introduced in beta versions of PhoenixMiner 5.6
Added support for AMD Windows drivers 21.5.1, 21.4.1, 21.3.2, and 21.3.1
Added support for AMD Linux drivers 21.10-1244864-ubuntu-18.04, 21.10-1247438-ubuntu-20.04, and 20.50.x. Use this drivers only if you have Polaris or older GPUs, or the latest RX6x000 GPUs. WARNING: Vega, Radeon VII, and Navi GPUs won't work with these drivers!
