Hi,

my rig (Asus Prime Z270-A + MSI 1060) works well, when booting up with 8 GPUs (using 1 M.2 -> PCIe adapter).
When booting up with 9 GPUs (using 2 M.2 -> PCIe adapter) the 9 cards appear correctly in Windows 10 64 Bit (8 GB RAM), but miner (tried Claymore and ethminer) won't start.

See the pics. Do you have any plan, why it doesn't work with 9 GPUs? I heard, that one can't use GPUs in both M.2 slots of the Asus Prime Z270-A, but Windows discovered both GPUs correctly:

my Prime z270p have the same issue.
8 cards working fine.
When 9+ cards,  windows crashed in few min., even I done nothing.
So I guess maybe the intel chipset driver problem? who knows.
or the z270 chipset  limited by ASUS BIOS?

Do you mean it crash before mining?
