Haggyy,

I have the *EXACT* same problem as you.  I've spent the last 12+ hours debugging to no avail.  I've read every post online umpteen times before I saw your post and realized it was recent.  I see the same blasted Code 12 "not enough free resources" error on my cards.

I'm uisng 6x GTX 1070 cards and 6 powered risers on the AsRock H81 Pro BTC R2.0 motherboard.  I have 8GB RAM in my rig and I can tell you the amount of RAM doesn't matter for this issue, probably not worth you upgrading.  My PSU is a Corsair 1200W platinum, not that it matters.
Even though I'm using 6 cards, I had the same problem with fewer cards.  My first 2 cards worked fine so I ordered more.  After I added 2 more cards (total of 4), I could only get some of them working.  When my last 2 cards arrived (total of 6), 4 out of 6 are working.

4 of my cards work great and I can mine on them no problem.  2 of the cards have the yellow bang in Device Manager.  

I also disabled non-essentials in BIOS, changed out risers with working video cards, reloaded Win10 from scratch, checked and re-checked all connections, set virtual memory to 16,384 Mb, set Bios to gen1, NONE of it works.

Both molex plugs are in the mobo.  I also contacted AsRock, they sent me the 1.30 beta Bios and said turn on the "4G Decoding" setting but it didn't work.

This is my first time building a rig and it's working, but at two-thirds hash rate...

I've re-ordered risers to change them out to see if that's the issue since I see some forum users reporting bad risers causing this.  After trying that, I'm going to return the mobo and get a replacement.

Have you made any progress?
We may need to start a therapy support group for the pain and suffering caused...

well at this point theres really only a few things that are going to cause a not enough free resources

1 would be the cpu doesn't have support enough pci express lanes, number 2 could also be not enough ram, all devices need some ram to some extent even the gpus use motherboard ram, last but not least could be a straight up motherboard problem but I'm leaning twards not enough of either pci express lanes or not enough ram, so my advice would be to add more ram if your using anything less than 8gb, windows page file shouldn't be anything less than 16gb and as some people have mentioned, disable the stuff that isn't needed as those things do take up resources, things like sound are not needed to be active

@russellvb for you since your already running 8gb of system ram, id say the cpu could be your problem, not all cpus support the same amount of pci express lanes, that said if you have either a kaby lake or whats the other one? one of them doesn't support more than 4 gpus and the other works just fine with 6+ gpus.
