After a Windows (automated) Update the problem is back... 1 (random) GPU drops hashrate after like 30 seconds the miner is running. sgminer and avermore both latestversion have the same problem.

Anyone an idea how solve this?

3x MSI AMD RX580 Armor 8GB OC

GPU 0 is not performing. I don't understand, all 3 GPU connected to same PSU Coolermaster 850w Gold, total system only draws 462W from wall. Windows 10 64bit, latest AMD drivers Adrenalin Edition 18.4.1

after a restart the first 30 seconds all GPUs perform the same then GPU 0 slowly drops hashpower

Update: tried Avermore 1.4.0 miner, same problem

Update2: after complete restart of system, it gets even more weird:

GPU 0:  72.0C 1129RPM | 5.625M/5.666Mh/s | R:  0.0% HW:0 WU:8.768/m I:19
GPU 1:  74.0C 1511RPM | 5.636M/5.673Mh/s | R:  3.4% HW:0 WU:9.964/m I:19
GPU 2:  54.0C    0RPM | 2.711M/1.149Mh/s | R:  0.0% HW:0 WU:3.587/m I:19

GPU 2 is now dropping hashpower  Huh GPU 0 (and GPU 1) doing fine

Could it be something with Motherboard BIOS ? I used 3 1080TI GPUs in the past on the mobo wothout problems, maybe these "new" card give some trouble in combination with mobo? Asrock 970 extreme 4

got same problem and it should be related to OC, so lower your OC and find the right settings for mining.

I solved it, one pci-e was at x4 while the other two were at x8, switched from x4 pci-e to another x8 pci-e and everything is running fine now

Thanks for sharing. I'm not sure how this explains the fact that first GPU 0 had lower hashpower and later GPU 2 was dropping hashpower?

It is weird indeed, my guess is that is a combination Asrock 970 Extreme4 with the (MSI) AMD RX580 GPU when all used pci-e port are not same speed/multiplier the system or OS or miner does not provide enough power or memory to all ports and then one is left behind. The Asock is rather old mobo last bios update is from 2016.
