I am having problems with my Zeusminer x2 scrypt ASIC miner 28 mhz.  Same thing it seems, sometimes just plugging it in and out worked, or had to reinstall UART to USB, then Zadig. But now trying on two computers it's not accepting.  I don't mind becoming a WinUSB guru, but it seems the learning curve is slow because it's just a slog of information and not many people able to give tech advice to connect the dots.  Should I be editing registry now that it's failed?

Why the random workings and not-working? What is kicking it out?  Nothing in computers needs to be seen as random. Something is effecting the state of the machine.

I have tried to get it to work on the 2nd computer but not for very long.  I just saw it wasn't registering in Zadig after I installed UART to USB.  Zadig shows nothing but a webcam driver (which I never used and it has a built in one) and thought maybe it's the miner that's broken.

Anyway back on topic.

After much more searching, I found a likely solution.
Seems the little info out there points to a failing PSU.
It may run the machine but not the juice needed to make the chips do what they should. ?

Got my hands on a 1850W PSU I need to wire up / solder etc.

Will report back if this is indeed the cause.
