I'm having a problem with a crash or lockup when starting. I've tried 11.3, 11.4 and 11.5. All exhibit the same issue.
Claymore runs great when I don't set any GPU parameters in the config file. However, as soon as I add any clock or voltage adjustments to the GPUs, one of 3 things happens when I start the software:
1. BSOD with Thread Stuck in Device Driver error
2. System just locks up (no mouse movement or num lock), requiring a hard power cycle
3. It starts properly but eventually exhibits failure 1 or 2 after an hour or two.
When I say the problem happens with any GPU parameters, I've tested this by using all stock settings (the same that the GPUs default to when I don't set anything in the config), but I still have the problem. So, the problem is not settings outside of a stable operating range.
The crashes usually occur after "POOL/SOLO Version", but not all the time.
I checked the logs but nothing stands out. The logs look normal then just stop when the crash happens.
I'm running a rig with 3xRX570 and 3xRX580 using the blockchain driver on Win10.
I've tried running -oldkernels 1, but that actually made it worse. I couldn't start mining at all. I always get OpenCL errors, even with no clock or voltage adjustments.
I tried -gser1 and -gser 2, but neither of those helped.
Is there something else I should be looking at?
