Hello everyone, I was hoping someone might have some insight for me about why my rig may be freezing.

I have
H97 anniversary mobo
4gig RAM
Cheapo CPU
6 MSI RX 480 Gaming X 8GB

The rig will freeze if I have 5 or 6 GPUs attached. The driver will constant fail, freeze, and sometimes reset the pc. The rigs will freeze mining Monero and Ethereum.

I have done a full system reset. Installed only the necessary drivers plus GPU drivers, set the virtual memory to 16gb min and 32gb max. What else may I be missing.


I appreciate any help.

Thank you.

Do you use custom rom for those 480?
any undervolting?

No custom roms, however I did have the rig undervolted -84 for ETH and -96 for XMR.  With 4 GPUs and those underclock settings the rig was fine. Once the 5th GPU came in, that's when the problems began.
