Hello mining community,

I would like to ask for some help. Recently bought a mining rig 6x RX 480

https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/8GB-PowerColor-Radeon-RX-480-Red-Dragon-Aktiv-PCIe-3-0-x16--Retail-_1124443.html

I am using Biostar TB85 motherboard, 12 GB RAM, EVGA 1300w, 120ssd, intel celeron 2x2.8GHz, windows 10 64.


I have this problem. On minute after I start claymore miner hashrate on one card drop to 0 and I get report - GPU hangs in opencl call - Need to restart miner.

I am searching for solution for couple of days already.

- I tried different GPU drivers, if I try to install 17.3 or 17.4 crimson computer crash.

- Virtual memory is on 16GB.

- If I start a miner without this card which lost hashrate then same thing happen to other 5 cards, hashrate drop to 0 on all 5 cards.

- I reinstall windows and all drivers, still same issue

- I switch cables and cards, nothing positive happen.

- tried other miners, pools, old version of claymore miner..

- tried function -gser -eser

Tried probly everything i could find on google, still no solution. Not sure if that is specific problem of motherboard, graphic card? other parts are more or less standard mining parts and probly have nothing to do with that problem.

Hop someone can help or give any proposition what should I do or try.

Thank you

Best regards

Don't just plug in 6 cards and expect it to work. Don't randomly remove cards, windows drivers don't like it.

Test each card and pcie slot individually. That is how everyone else does it.

I'm averaging 1 faulty card per 10 new cards. Most fail within 10 days.
Tribrzinec : just reinstal Windows and use drivers from 16.9.1 to 16.11.5.  Then if problems, use last DDU and reinstall same drivers.
