Hi Guys,

I recently got into mining and I've got 5 x RX470 4GB Sapphire (Hamster Wheel) in a mining rig and 2 x RX480 MSi 8GB in my PC.

I followed this guide and with some tweaks in Claymore 9.3 was getting a much increased hash rate on both systems:

After an hour or two both machines had hard crashed. Both machines didn't work properly at all after the crash.

With the PC I was able to re-flash the original BIOS onto the cards, change the drivers in device manager and started from fresh install but now after a few hours the computer crashes to a black screen and needs to be turned off to come back online. Is there a fix for this?! It would be great to increase the machine's uptime to expedite ROI! How do I get it running more stable?

With the rig it seems to be a lot worse, I have reflashed the BIOS but Claymore still couldn't see the cards after and Windows is giving error code 43 - problems with device - even after uninstalling the device, drivers, clean install. Now it won't even go into windows fresh install! Does anyone know what I can do?

Thanks Guys Smiley
