Hey guys,
I have a problem which I'm troubleshooting for days, and still not solved.
I got R9 280X MSI 3GB, 12GB of RAM, i3 4160, ASUS H81M-E, PSU ThermalTake 400W

On this setup my last gpu 7870 2GB worked perfectly on NiceHash mining ZCash on Claymore's miner, when I set up 280X, there are problems income..
First problem was GPU #0 returned incorrect data! on Windows 10 WITHOUT OC, everything stock. I also tryed many drivers, 15.12, then lastest, everything the same..
Now I got another HDD and installed Windows 7 64bit(Basic theme, not aero), got NiceHash setted up, Claymore's ZCash miner, 15.12 driver for win7, and still the same. Then with lastest driver, same situation. Here I saw another problem, monitor goes off for 1 second and it says "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered".
Can anyone help me, what to do ? I tryed to underclock core and memory, It worked for about 6 hours without error and then it came again, I can't let it run for 24/7 without assistance. Also lower clocks get me about -20.000 sols than stock.
Can anyone at least give me recommendation for batch file for my GPU in this case ?
try v12.2b. If your card works with that version, might can be some r9 x80X related problem, because I have also "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" popups with newer versions.

Thank you but I think I found a solution. I was googling a lot since that problem started and I found this https://steemit.com/mining/@felixxx/gpu-mining-equihash-undervolt-is-where-it-s-at
If you have same problem and same GPU, try this. My GPU is mining 1 hour without error or rejection on that settings, seems very stable.
I'll leave it mining for more to see if it's stable. All I need is stable rig because I won't be home to assist, restart or something.
Edit : Worked very stable for 2 hours and after that a crash.
