Hi people,

Can anyobody help me i am going mad.

I have 5 rig with 6 x RX 580 Special Edition. On all five rigs i have a fresh install of Windows 10 Home 1709. Fisrt my problem started when i could make MSI AB work with all 6 cards (it only recognize 3 cards) so i had to switch to Trixx.

I installed Claymore Dual Miner V 11.3, 11.4 and 11.5 and on all machines same problem. I watch them for few hours and everything is working just fine.No memory errors no nothing everything is perfect. Then suddenly overnight or in the morning some of them shutdown randomly(Blue screen). First i thought it was because of overclocking then when i realize it isnt (beacuse i set them to default), i switched to 11.2 because i read here it is the last stable version.

Now i have new problem. Trixx sudennly bugs out randomly on different rigs at a different time, stop working and all my cards stops working too.

I am desperate in need of help. I tried everything dont know what is the problem.

What i did before this:

Install Windows 10 64 bit Home V1709
Install new latest AMD drivers (compute mode)
tried MSI Ab but cant read 6 cards
uninstall all programs i dont need via CC cleaner and Miningtweaks. bat like Cortana, People, Xbox etc.
Set virtaul memory, power plan all other stuff that i was doing on the previous version of Windows 10. The reason i cant go back to old version of Windows is because it keeps updating.

So my question is what should i do to stop shutdowns?
How can i use MSI with new AMD drivers and Windows 1709?
What Claymore should i use?
Why is Trixx suddenly stop to work?

Hope someone gives me a solution.

Thanks

MSI Afterburner won't work with the latest drivers and more than 3 cards. There is no Group Policy Editor in the Home version of Windows 10, so I don't think you can disable Windows Update driver updates. RX 580's don't need the pixel patcher with a modded Bios, only the RX 470/480/570's.

I'm using v11.5 with the latest Adrenaline drivers in Compute mode on a 13 card RX 480/580 rig with ZERO problems or invalid shares and it's very stable. You can also set the overclock/undervolt/fans directly in the Claymore config or .bat file.

First of all thanks for the advice,

I tried to overclock via Claymore so i add this command:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal ETHEREUM_WALLET.WORKER_NAME -epsw x -tstop 85 -tt 65 -fanmin 75 -fanmax 100 -cclock 1200 -mclock 2250 -cvddc 850 -mvddc 850

I use Claymore 11.5 . So what happened is that i monitored miner from 10 PM yesterday for about 2 hours and there was no problem. This morning when i looked at it it reported few GPU errors during the night. Miner is still working so i left to see when will it shut down. What i noticed is that with this command fans spins randnomly, 3 GPU spin while 3 others dont and vice versa. Sometimes it spins all 6 GPUs. Is there something wrong with my command or is there a line that i can control all fans for example to spin for 70 % all the time?

I have Sapphire RX 580 Special Edition and use this overclocks with Trixx and there are no errors just miner shutdown so i dont think it is the overclocks because they are not pushed too hard. Today on another rig i am trying 11.2 to see if it is more stable from 11.5. After that i dont know what else to try.

P.S. When i touched GPUs from the rig that i started testing yesterday i can feel the cards are very cold so i dont know how they can report GPU error that is connected to overclocking.Before this only happened when cards got too much heat.I am guessing that in the time when fans dont spin they get more heat and then thay report error so i need them to work all the time but i dont know the command line.
