cudahashcat is hanging
#1
Hey guys, when I run cudaHashcat it sometimes hangs during initialization of kernel:

Code:
cudaHashcat v2.01 starting...

Device #1: GeForce GTX 970, 4096MB, 1316Mhz, 13MCU
Device #2: GeForce GTX 970, 4096MB, 1316Mhz, 13MCU
Device #3: GeForce GTX 970, 4096MB, 1316Mhz, 13MCU
Device #4: GeForce GTX 970, 4096MB, 1316Mhz, 13MCU
Device #5: GeForce GTX 970, 4096MB, 1316Mhz, 13MCU

Hashes: 1116984 hashes; 1116984 unique digests, 1 unique salts
Bitmaps: 17 bits, 131072 entries, 0x0001ffff mask, 524288 bytes, 5/13 rotates

There is one process cudaHashcat64.exe sitting in background, eating up to 1GB of memory and doing something in the background as I see CPU utilisation at ~32%. The process itself is unkillable. I have to restart whole system (actually power it off and on again) to be able to use it again.

Usually I am using RDP to access this system. I've also read some posts here suggesting to use other method so I switched to VNC and then to KVM (connected to Intel gfx, see below) - same result.

This happens on random occasions. I can't find any pattern. Do you have any idea what could it be? A bug? Faulty nVidia card?

My setup is:
  • Procesor Intel Core i3-3220
  • Windows 2008 R2 64bit (fully patched)
  • Intel HD 2500 (integrated)
  • 5x EVGA GeForce GTX970 4096MB 256bit SC GAMING ACX 2.0 (running with latest nvidia drivers, updated today)
  • mobo: ASRock H61-PRO BTC
