Do you have any other idea of how to fix it?
If there is no way to fix it then for sure i will try the workaround
I've had an issue where I had to connect dummy or monitor to motherboard GPU. Solved it by installing latest Intel graphics driver (Z270 chipset)
Would be interesting to know the real reason behind this. I had identical rigs, the old ones updated to build 1709 was OK, build 1709 installed from scratch did not work.
I suppose the problem could have been fixed in the mining software if anyone knew what was causing it.
I have not tried to update the chipset driver, i thought this is also done as part of the overall windows updates, i hope this will solve my problem. The strange thing is that 6 machines worked for almost a whole year with absolutely no issues. I have not changed even a single wire on them. So the only changes were windows updates. I tried to DDU and reinstall fresh updated AMD or Nvidia drivers but that did not really help at all, and i tried just about many other things, it never worked. I have already ordered the dummies, but i am always curious to learn new things about technology. Why one machine would work for a whole year and then one day (supposedly after a windows update) it will stop to work and virtual no software workaround would solve that. Moreover, i still have other machines with the SAME EXACT hardware & software configuration, and yes with the same windows updates, but they work just absolutely fine, they never needed any dummies. However, it seems that during the last few months, one machine gets this issue every month or few weeks, so this phenomena is getting spread almost on all machines. What makes me wonder, is that if it was windows updates, then why not all machines which has the same windows updates switched on, dont suffer from the same issue?
