Hello,

I would like to gather ideas on how to flawlessly install more than 3 AMD cards in a rig.

I would be interested on how you guys install new driver or initial setup with more than 3 cards.
I tried the method 1 card install and then install next one after each other..

But i often came across the point of loop flickering, BSOD, or random..how to say looks like MEM freeze artifacted picture.
It also takes a long time ..very long e.g with 4 cards until the setup is done and inbetween the system often freeze mouse and keyboard not working and then it suddenly after 10min works a few seconds and freezes again.

It took me always more than 2h to get 6 cards to work after countless bsods, crashes, freezes on Windows 10..

So I'm curious how you guys do it and what problems you experienced.
For every driver upgrade, I normally just unplug all cards except 1. Then install the driver. Shut off, plug all cards in and boot up. The system itself will detect all cards. I am lucky my 7 cards rigs work flawlessly since day1
