Hello,
Just set up Asus B250 board with 13 AMD RX 580's, this is my 4th miner and 2nd AMD rig exactly like this one.
Weird thing happening...when I start the CM miner, it gives me nothing past the start up screen:
Eth: 1 pool is specified
Main Ethereum pool is eth.suprnova.cc:5005
DCR: 0 pool is specified
Then after 5 minutes (apperently) it says:
Miner cannot initialize for 5 minutes, need to restart miner!
Here is command line:
ethdcrminer64.exe -epool eth.suprnova.cc:5005 -ewal ***.*** -epsw ** -esm 3 -allpools 1 -dbg 1
I have a funny feeling it's to do with Windows Defender, because since I've been trying to get this thing working for the last few days, it never popped up and asked for me to Allow it through the firewall...but idk for sure. I shut it off and still no action.
I would post a pic to make it easier but I cannot figure out how to do that :-)
this is happening to me as well. Exactly same specs
Asus B250 board with 13 AMD RX 580's
Windows 10 version 1803 (build 17134.81), fully patched (patched yesterday)
16 GB minimum virtual RAM, 100 GB maximum
windows defender disabled
I installed windows, AMD drivers and one GPU(rx580), tested mining, it worked fine.
Now, I have added 5 more GPUs and then decided to test, the problem started
So far uninstalled and reinstalled AMD drivers
debug log doesn't say much
tried -di 0 (command) no luck
Not sure what's happening here
Okay, so I have managed to workaround the problem in Windows 1803 version, ASUS B250, AMD driver 18.3.4
1) Disabled Windows Firewall (disabled via service) and rebooted, this intermittently fixed the problem for me
2) Then I disabled "Intel onboard GPU (Yes driver of this GPU is up to date)" so now every time I start miner, it takes a bit of time to start but works fine.
I still believe it's problem with Windows 1803 version as my other rigs are working fine.
