I think I'm done with Winminer for a few days till they sort out idle business. GTX1080 rig, gone idle. I can't keeping manning rigs to make a buck..

I had it on Auto, will try manual. From the description, I think it will resolve that issue.

The random GPU dying may have been a result of not setting the PCIe speeds to Gen1/2.. testing now. But it seems with the blockchain drivers, it'll olnly allow max of 4 cards running on Gen 3.
