anyone see a grey screen and crash when running more than 2 gpu on cast?

on a single gpu it works fine, but when i add more grey artifcats then crash,tried two separate motherboards
it only does thiswith the aug23 blockchain drivers , the ronbin hood ones dont crash but 1500 hs vs 1950

I hit a similar problem, but it was the same with XMR-Stak or Cast.  I have a MSI X370 and could not get past three GPUs without a blue screen/crash.  Changed risers, cables, Vega cards, PCIe slots, settings, on and on.

Finally solved it:  Used DDU to strip everything out.  Went directly to Microsoft's site and downloaded the fall creators update (takes a while).  That loaded the non-blockchain drivers and for the first time I could mine with 5 Vegas on that motherboard (but slow speeds).  Uninstalled the newest drivers, reinstalled blockchain drivers.  It's all good now.
hmm i tried this several times, I have a window image that alrrady contsins the fall creators update included and did this with a fresh install still the same deal, Ill try it again i guess , thanks
