    One possible reason why NiceHash Miner freezes on starting the Excavator server is due to compatibility issues with your hardware or software. Make sure that your system meets the minimum requirements for running NiceHash Miner and that you have the latest drivers installed. Additionally, try running NiceHash Miner as an administrator and check if any antivirus or firewall software is blocking the Excavator server. If the issue persists, you can try reinstalling NiceHash Miner or contacting their support for further assistance.

    I had a similar issue with NiceHash Miner freezing on starting the Excavator server. What worked for me was disabling any overclocking settings on my GPU. Sometimes, overclocking can cause instability and lead to freezing or crashing. So, try running NiceHash Miner with default GPU settings and see if that resolves the issue.

They recommend checking the Excavator server log files for any error messages and updating your graphics card drivers. You can find the guide on BYDFi's website under their support section. Give it a try and see if it helps resolve the freezing issue.
