I'm sick to death of my miner crashing.  I have six rx 470 8gb sapphire cards and it can run ok for days, then locks up.  Then I have to restart it about 10-20 times because I constantly get the message "Ethdcrminer64.exe has stopped working".  Then I go into GPUZ and see that one of the cards is not reporting data fully.  After 10 restart or so it starts working again, and I get a few more days mining,  sometimes less.

What could be causing this?  All cards are cool, well ventilated running at 74 degrees contant.  this issue is really pissing me off now. All parts are relatively high quality,   EVGA power supply etc.

I am running win 10 64 bit

remove and reseat everything. run memtest86 overnight.

all vbios stock?

No I modded them for extra mining capabilities and it worked well for a while but now it's crashing a lot.  I am sick to death of the "Dcrethminer64.exe has stopped working" error.


Check gpu-z for cards with Hynix ram lol.

GPUZ reports the ram as 8gb samsung.   But sometimes certain bits of data are missing from the gpuz report on one card or another.  Can't remember exactly which bits of data, they are usually blank.  When you see that you know without doubt claymore is going to crash.  But sometimes it still crashes when GPU is reporting everything is OK on all cards.  It's a shame because if this carries on I will have to sell up.  I just ROI'd thanks to the ethereum price shooting up but I wanted to run it for a year or so.   It is taking up so much time now and I cannot nail down the issue(s).

The PSU is a brand new EVGA 1000 g2 series 1000w  and I have six RX 470 8gb sapphires being powered by it and a small ssd.
