Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v11.5 (Windows/Linux)
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?

Start at mining only one GPU installed in PCIe x16 slot, and set aside or exclude all other GPU's for the meantime.
If this runs successfully, you may now install other GPU's one by one, from there you can actually troubleshoot which might be the culprits.
It maybe a Riser, PSU, Drivers, etc.
I was posting a while back that I've got stability issues on mixed polaris 570&580 rigs.
Somehow similarly I have one miner with 8*570*4GB Asus (boxy looking and not the Strix one) and 4*580*8GB Nitros
It was just giving me pain - miner was crashing probably every few hours (the only one out of 10+ of the similar build, except the mixed 570&580)
In some logs I could see that GPU0 (my display card) would fail so...I had a display dummy also mem (I think Elpida) set at 1920
So I rolled back to 11.2 removed the display dummy and increased the mem clock to 1950 and now it's fine.
