Hey guys,

Just a quick question to see if any of you came across such issue:

After the latest Windows 10 Pro upgrade I started having this wierd issue with one of my cards (MSI RX580 8GB) in PCIE_16x slot 0 (ASUS Z270-P). The miner would get stuck at POOL/SOLO output and mining would never start. I tried a few things and noticed that when I disabled GPU 0 (using the -di argument) the remaining cards would start mining without any issues. I suspected some issue with the card, raiser or the motherboard. I did some troubleshooting and noticed that any card inserted in that PCIE slot was having the issues so that ruled out the raisers or cards. Provided that the only change made was the windows upgrade, I tried to download and install latest chipset and ME drivers, latest BIOS and did a fresh install of the blockchain drivers (using DDU). None of that helped so I thought the slot is faulty or something but then I noticed something very strange...when I plug in a monitor into the impacted card, everything started working (or at least for the past 48 hours). The monitor does not even need to be turned on as long as the DVI cable is plugged in on both ends.

Has anybody experienced such issue or am I going crazy here 😂
