Hi All,

I had my Ethereum miner up and running for more or less a year now, with goo and stable Hash rates. Now I had to restart and Windows was broken. So I had no other option than to reinstall it all. I followed exactly the same step as I did before, but for some reason when I open claymore miner it does not come further than:
ETH: 1 Pool is specified
Main Ethereum poo is eu1.ehtermine.org:4444
DCR: 0 pool is specified.

When I wait for a while the following message comes up:

- Miner cannot initialize for 5 minutes, need to restart miner!
Restarting OK, exit ....

And it starts again.

I have followed I think all the correct steps:
1) Installed Windows 10 - 64 Bit
2) General settings (Assign virtual memory, password settings, Prevent automatic updates
3) Download the last Blockchain drivers from AMD 64 Bit - https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-Crimson-ReLive-Edition-Beta-for-Blockchain-Compute-Release-Notes.aspx
4) Remove the AMD drivers with DDU (in Safe mode)
5) Install the new AMD Blcokchain drivers
6) Download Claymore miner v11.8
7) Change bat file and test

I Have tried:
1) Different versions of Claymore
2) Different times to re install and install the drivers
3) The GPU's show up pin my AMD software - and in device management
4) Speecy test say they work fine

However
1) The fans are not running
2) possmark performance test does not find the GPU's

Anybody an idea an what to do? Is restarting xith a frech windows install the only option? If so what are the steps to pay attention to, to make sure it will work good the next time.

Seems like you've already tried lots of solutions, have you considered disabling your firewall or antivirus?

If you still get problems even after that, then you probably have a hardware issue. You will need to check your risers, cables, plugs, etc. Make everything is correctly connected and nothing is lose. Then if it still doesn't work i would try connecting GPUs one by one. See if you can mine with just one GPU.
