I am struggling with my new setup. I have 3 1080ti and a 1k PSU(rosewill) If I set the power limit to anything above 200w when either ewbf or dstm miner start up the system crashes. 1000w should be plenty for 3 of those cards but it seems that the sudden surge in ask for power from all 3 psu right at the same time is to much for that PSU.

@dstm is there anyway to add a staggered start parameter? Or do you have any other ideas?

If you're certain the PSU is up to the challenge, try redoing the cabling. Sometimes rerouting the power can fix the power droops. If you have extra cables you can use for risers try using a dedicated line instead of running 2 on a line. It's rare, but sometimes even the PCIe cables can't provide enough power esp when they have 2 8-pin.
