Hi all, How i can redownload all #FIX? I skipped #20 and now i want download but i can't... any solution?

#20 has been removed.  You don't need it.  Just use #21.

Thank you very much ^^

I have other question, my PC are reseting each 6 or 7 hours... and my graphic card stopped mining... where i can read some log about this? So i can knows why this happen and i will try fix that.

what do you mean "my PC are reseting"

Well, i have the PC in other room, and I do a conection via SSH to my BAMT miner PC or I write the IP of my BAMT miner PC in the explorer... so i can view if my PC is working or not... normally i haven't any problem but sometimes (each 5 o 6 hours) i can't view or do nothing (it is stopped and it's blocked)... so i only can turn off and turn on the computer it has the BAMT and then it works again....

In my experience, if a rig is locking up, it is most likely related to overclocking. Maybe back off on your GPU settings (clock/mem) and see if you get more stability.

I did back off on my GPU Settings (HD5870 -> 850/1200/1.175, I6) and i got the same results... my rig is locked up. Sad. Can I consult any file where is wrote what happened before my rig is locked up?

no.  try using all stock settings (gpu and mem).  if it's still locking up, you have hardware problems.

And then if you're still locking up, start with one card, get it stable, then add the second, get it stable, repeat.

Are you using PCI-E Extenders? If yes, I would try removing that one from the equation first.

Another way to force the rig into no overclocking at all is to copy the "noOC" file from /live/image/BAMT/CONTROL into the /live/image/BAMT/CONTROL/ACTIVE dir. Or you can do individual GPUs, you'll see all the files you can copy to that folder in the CONTROL dir. To remove that option, all you have to do is delete the file from that ACTIVE dir.

Also, if your rig is unstable and reboots, sometimes the management code (mother) will auto gen a file based on the specific GPU it had trouble with and put it in that ACTIVE dir, so that is a place to look if your wondering why it won't ever overclock again.

Lastly, I know you had a question about logs to look for, but I believe most of those services had been disabled as to reduce the number of writes to the USB stick for longevity. (IIRC) There might be one, but you'll have to hunt for it in the readme.
