Hello,

My RX580 rig is crashing when I connect 2 and more GPUs.

Specs:
ASUS H270 PLUS
Intel Celeron 3930
4GB DDR
1000W Chieftec APS-1000CB
2 x ASUS DUAL-RX580-O8G (Samsung)

Driver: Win10-64Bit-Crimson-ReLive-Beta-Blockchain-Workloads-Aug23 (The same issue with: win10-64bit-radeon-software-adrenalin-edition-17.12.2-dec19)
Miner: Claymore 10.2 or 9.8

Story
Initially I had 2 x RX580 (Samsung) and was mining SOLO ETH. From the box it gave 25Mh/s, I moded BIOS and it gives 28MH/s, without overclocking and etc. So, it was working really stable for 3-4 weeks.

A few days ago I bought 6 more ASUS DUAL-RX580-O8G (Hynix). I added to the rig 2 more to have 4 GPU in total in one rig. Everything was fine for first 5-6 hours and then it started crashing randomly. As example it can work 5 min and then one of the cards randomly gives 0 Mh/s and watchdog is restarting the miner.

I tried already everything, different set of GPUs, with moded BIOS, with only 2 GPUs, with different rizes, with GPUs connected into mobo, different cables from PSU, reinstalled Windows, different miners and etc.
The result is the same.

But...:
- when I connect only one GPU, independenlty wich one, it's super stable
- when I connect two firstly bought GPUs (Samsung), which were working stable from the beginning, it's super stable
