Good Morning people.
I have a problem with Claymore, He starts work is fine, but later he crash and freezing all the Rig. Install windows again, download a new version of Claymore and stay the same.

Need help.

claymore miner issue fixes:

  - read the "readme.txt" for other settings
  - make sure you are using the right drivers
  - watch and play with your overclocks
  - look at your "-i" options, make sure your intensity is not too high

other issues: (getting into GPU mining has a prerequisite which is you should know how to troubleshoot OS and PC hardware) -> i believe this is not claymore's problem anymore

- riser issues
- PSU issues
- motherboard issues
- GPU issues
- HDD issues
- RAM issues
- temperature issues

yesterday one of my rig freezes and windows crashed after mining started for a few seconds...it was a HDD bad sector issue.. find the source of problem, you can do it.

good post

i mix and match quite a bit and even have risers from when the first came out (never the ribbons tho)

first always check the riser and power supplies, that sata connection is dead important not to have too much load on a single line

if claymores software encounters an issue then it will be in the logs.... start with one card and test over 12/24 hrs, adding one more card at a time, might also be good to clean up drivers and reg entries using DDU

was having a few windows issues recently as well, tried loads of things to fix it and to my surprise all it needed was a rollback using system restore settings, perfect after 3/4 hrs reinstalling and testing lol

i have my 80gb HDDs cloned, any HDD issue I encounter, I just unplug the problematic HDD and plug a clone.

the problematic HDD will go through a file system test and bad sector test (results will determine if it will be reused or trashed), if windows is unstable due to corruption of files etc..it will be overwritten by a clone...my HDDs clone each other, as long as the good HDD is always the source.

my last windows 7 64bit installation for my mining rigs was in 2013..cloning saves time and utilizes a proven windows setup.

always have extra risers, PSUs, HDDs, RAMs etc...having identical motherboards in your rigs is a plus too.

awesome mining advice!

back in 2012/13 i was using USB and Linuxs, no HDD's what-so-ever!

quick tip if miners wanna save some cash on spare HDD's, find people giving away old sky+ boxes or any media items that can record and play TV, they all have a HDD in them u can plug out!

Also if you are in the US go to Craigslist. Just bought a laptop 320 gig drive for $5. Craigslist is also great to buy older video cards, memory, motherboards etc
