hashcat keeps stopping itself and I don't know why. - turbogiant76 - 08-19-2016

When I do a restore there is high disk usage until it gets back to where it was then it stops itself.  I don't see anything in the log that I understand.  Here is the log attached.

Can you provide a screenshot please

After further review(I had to go up further to see the message), I am hitting 90 and it is causing an abort. It appears the fans are stuck at 26-28% no matter how hot the temperature gets. Any ideas? This is happening on the earlier version and the new one released today.

Do you have this warning, saying that the initial fan speed cannot be set?
If yes, you haven't set your fan speed manually to 100%, have you?

E.g. with something like:
Code:
nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GPUFanControlState=1 -a [fan-0]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=100

I have no warning and I have not set fan speed.  It seems to happen on a --restore.  What would be the best way to handle this?  Should I start the session over and manually set the fan speed?  Is there another option to get variable fan speed working?  Thanks.

Please post full commandline

you say that you don't see any warning but at the same time you post a screenshot ( http://imgur.com/a/mNKP5 ) that displays the error message:
Quote:ERROR: Temperature limit on GPU 2 reached, aborting...

Well, actually you are right, it's not a warning but it's an error message. Anyway you just need to pay attention to what the output says. It should be very clear.

What you should do is: improve cooling (including the investment in better/additional case fans) and/or try to play around with setting GPU fan to 100%, maybe even try to underclock the GPU etc.... and of course if you have problem with cooling you shouldn't use -w 3. Instead, you should try w/ -w 1 (but of course it will decrease performance).

What should my command line look like to add fan speed to 100? I tried adding the parameter listed above but it doesn't work.
