Ok guys I've been struggling for a few days now.
-First I did as guide said. Installed everything smoothly on usb flash drive. 16 gb 3.0 flashdriver. Everything went smoothly until freezes started.
-Then I Changed my USB Drives. Bought a new one and The freezes still happened.
-I switched to usb 2.0 - It still didnt work.
-Then I installed on 120 gb ssd disk, which should perform amazingly better the all the other options. Well not, The rig still freezes.
 * I've changed settings in bios
-Turned off onboard gpu
-Switched from auto to 2Gen
-Disabled fast boot.
 *The problem with usb was, It would do a restart and after a restart it went straight into bios without recognizing my usb flash drive. The ssd on the other hand, just freezes without any reboots or anything.
- Someone suggested I should check the risers but they are all fine. Brand new. The GPU'S are brand new and everything seems to be recognized in the Terminal. The hashes are fine and everything. Any other sultions? Im helpless, my Rigg just goes down sometimes after a 1 hour sometimes after 6 hours.
PS. My internet connection is fine because all the other rigs run on the connection with the same brand SSD's, OS and does just fine.

My setup : H110 Pro BTC+ (Motherboard) / 13 X GTX 1070 Asus Dual / 2x 4GB Kingston Ram / Kingston 120 gb SSD / Some fine ass 1151 socket Intel /Risers are classical 6pin 006c ver / OS : nvOC 19

Will marry you if you help me!


Some suggestions:
- I would take a few gpu's out (try booting with 10, or 9, as low as it'll go until you're sure it's stable) for example - sometimes too much strain on the PSU causes unstable voltages and when you loose a gpu you freeze.
- Check if the PCIE risers that actually plug into the board are not overheating and melting the solder (yes possible - I had to put electrical tape on some risers because the soldering would melt and start touching the adjacent connectors - I read on the forum others had that issue as well).
- make sure both molexes are plugged into the Asrock board as well as the SATA power board connector
I also disable all audio/hd audio/sata and other unnecessary controllers.
But I think the most likely candidate is the PSU not providing stable voltage across all the cables  (or dual PSU connectors if you have those)




I have 2800 w Psu and 1 extra 700 watt that powers 2x cards.

k any cables getting hot? risers melting?
I would start by taking the 2 cards off the 700W to see if you're stable on just one PSU
you can also try putting a power limit on the cards in 1bash to something low like 100w and test stability that way.
Sometimes there is just a bad card that crashes (check 5_restartlog) if nothing there, uncheck erase logs from 1bash and check the logs after crash.


Ok thanks! I will try to check that tomorrow. Problem Is my rig is remote, so every time it goes down it is another 12 hours offline
