It's not bad power, that wouldn't cause one card to flake out. It could be a bad riser, cable or the little PCIE chip that plugs into the slot. I've had bad risers that run fine for days or weeks and then all of the sudden cards will drop off.  I hate to be obvious, but have you updated the BIOS and tried to set the Gen settings for the slots etc? I have one ASUS board and the rest are ASROCK H110 pro's. The H110's are setup for mining and  fired right up,  I have 6 10 card rx580 rigs running SMOS. The ASUS board is 8 cards and was kind of a PITA to get running. Had to set everything related to PCIE to Gen1, disable SATA controller, audio controller etc. Finally it has been running for over a week. I read ton's on boards before setting up my 10 card rigs and stayed away from the B250 as it seemed to have overheating issues and just be unstable compared to the H110 or another board. Hell, I paid $129 for my Asus Z270-P and it runs 8 cards...

Thanks for your answer.

In the B250 bios there is a mining mode where everything gets set properly right away (gen1, above 4g decoding).  I turned off the audio already but I can try and turn off all the things I don't use.

Tonight I'll do that and also embark on a mission to identify the faulty riser, if any.  I don't want to run with 1 risers at a time to identify the faulty one... I guess I'll try removing them 1 by 1  instead even if it might not be as accurate (if I have 2 faulty ones).

Otherwise I already ordered a new 6 pack of risers earlier this week since I have 3 more GPUs on the way.

Make sure you aren't trying to boot with a monitor plugged into one of the mining cards on B250. Also I found that mining mode doesn't really get you exactly where you need to be. You still need to set all your pcie to gen2 enable csm(I think that's what it's called). And make sure to enable onboard video.

Thanks.

I use onboard video already.  I had to enable CSM to even be able to boot so that's the first thing I ever did.
I played around with the PCI settings.. not sure if I tried GEN2 already. 

I'll test that AND I'll start writing down everything I do otherwise I'll end up doing everything twice while forgetting other things to try Wink
