Hello,

I have issue with my rx480 mining rig, it runs before perfect, but i ahve to change ssd, and after the new win10 installation, the miner stuck after detecting pools.

I use latest win10 ltsb, asrock h81 btco pro r2.0 mobo. Onboard display is selected, and gen1 also.
I see my cards at the device manager, also installed the chipset driver, but the miner cannot start.

OverdriveNtool also detect my gpus. Change the mobo and the cpu as well, it isnt solve the issue, any idea?
I think something missing, but i dont have a clue, out of ideas Sad

I got same problem yesterday after updating to 1803.
I had to run DDU to remove drivers and install BC drivers to get it work, it was no go for Adrenaline drivers (and AMD/ATI Pixel Clock Patcher).

What is BC drivers?
I got same problem yesterday after updating.

BC is the blockchain driver https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-Crimson-ReLive-Edition-Beta-for-Blockchain-Compute-Release-Notes.aspx
Many complain about the latest update (1803) of Microsoft. In the rigs it is mandatory to disable updates to the system and drivers of the videocard and monitor this.

Starting with 18.3.4 there no reason to go back to Blockchain drivers.
18.4.1 were bad, but 18.5.1 are decent again, so I would just stick to these or 18.3.4

I tested 18.2.1, 18.3.4 and 18.5.1, none of them worked after 1803 update, after pixel patcher system starts stuttering and claymore got stuck on start, only way to get past that was to install blockchain driver. Before update I was running 18.3.4. and those worked well. My system is almost identical (6xRX480 and H81 BTC)

Try to use 18.5.2 drivers

Back again with this stuttering problem, i was running to these days the BC driver but tried to update to 19.4.3 and same stuttering again. None of the drivers work after 18.?.?
Rig works with 4 cards but after connecting fifth or sixth card, it starts to lag and cant run claymore and again BC driver works perfecly but can't use -strap option Sad

Does anyone know fix for this?
