4090 notebook GPU, no hashcat
#1
Greetings!
Recently received my new laptop with a 4090 notebook GPU.  Have used hashcat on 2080/3080 version of laptops with zero issues.  Newest one, however, is throwing me for a loop.

Upon running hashcat in benchmark mode, example commands, or even live hashes, I get dumped back to my windows command prompt with no errors, no nothing. 

Installing CUDA toolkit did not result in different behavior.

Without more verbose errors to go on I'm unsure where to start.

Any suggestion/advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

It would be useful to show these errors on the screen

Agreed!
Here is the most verbose error I have encountered.

C:\Users\rt\T00lz\hashcat-6.2.6>type example.dict  | hashcat.exe -m 400 example400.hash
hashcat (v6.2.6) starting

The process tried to write to a nonexistent pipe.

C:\Users\rt\T00lz\hashcat-6.2.6>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

Often times there is no "nonexistent pipe" message.

Just blank space then nothing.

Might have to try latest beta.

https://hashcat.net/beta/

Otherwise, maybe try posting hashcat - I for us too.

hashcat -I without output is not a good sign

do you have a second partition? sometimes windows dont like such programs running from inside a users directory

plz copy hashcat to another partition if capable

Maybe you can fill us in exactly on the  details of the laptop. 

Are you running windows 11? As Administator account or user account?
Are you using a VM?
Are you running the .bat files for the examples simply by double clicking?
If you open cmd and navigate to hashcat directory to run hashcat -I do things change?
Are you using cmd or powershell?


These might be very basic questions but maybe we're just missing something here. Maybe just give us some details in regards to the laptop other than the GFX card too please.

More information as requested:
OS: Windows 11 Pro
No VM usage for hashcat
example files are ran from command prompt
I run hashcat from a non-admin command prompt usually, in the hashcat directory.
I have run both PS and cmd as non-admin and Admin with same results all from within hashcat directory.

System Info:
Razer Blade 18" Model RZ09-0484
Windows 11 Pro
4090 Notebook GPU
13th Gen Intel Core i9-13950X
64GB PC-5200 RAM (Crucial)
2x 1TB M.2's

Thank you again!  Any other info I can provide I will!

well i dont have access to a windows11 right now, but that running hashcat -I resulting in output

D:\hashcat-6.2.6>hashcat.exe -I
hashcat (v6.2.6-344-g5236f3bd7+) starting in backend information mode
D:\hashcat-6.2.6>

seems to me, that the process is killed before it really runs, because normally even with no detected devices there should be a line telling you, No Devices left
