CLAYMORE STUCK AFTER START

Who is the magic wizard that can help me out,

I have been going to all posts, but I cant get a suitable solution for my problem with Claymore 12.0. Tried everything.

Later versions of claymore give me the Can not create DAG file, problem. Which is said to be a virt mem problem. (i ve put the virt mem to even 50GB, and even tried 80GB) went throught the CHKDSK /f /r solutions and sata AHCI controller driver solutions.
Or I get a video TDR failure, which should be a driver issue.

I cant figure out why half of my miners suddenly are stuck... and the rest are working fine... ? exactelly same BIOS setup, same CPU, same DDR. Both miners are in every way: an exact clone.

Throuble shooting:
swapped all risers with GPUs from the working one to the one that stucks.
i went through BIOS, 4G is on. tried GEN1 and GEN2....GEN AUTO (the working miner is actually even on GEN AUTO)
But...
So when i swap the SSD only from the working RIG to the exact same RIG, that isnt working... claymore gets stuck again....

Tried to restart / reload windows 6 times.
With first having 1 GPU, and adding everytime an extra one.

I have a 6 GPU 1080TI card, with the latest Nvidia drivers installed, (used DDU, took the Latest Nvidea driver, and as well tried 425.1 and 430.86)
Asrock BTC pro 2.0 board latest Bios update with the 4g decoding option which is ON) , with 16GB DDR, intel i5 4core processor. 256 samsung EVO SSD.

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

what on earth can it be? what am i over seeing wrong for the last weeks?
wont make sence why same hardware works with one miner and not with the other one. I tried swappin SSD, or cloning an IMG file.

additional info:
Thanks a lot for the reply,

I am Running on windows
I have not (yet) any afterburner installed. i am not overclocking and have the full power (1600W ) available

Claymore 12.0
When i run claymore 12.0 , its finds the pool and after create DAG for each GPU, the screen freezes, and i have to manually (swich of power) restart
when i wait longer i get the blue windows screen DPC watchdog violation

Claymore 14.7
When i run claymore 14.7 , its is running bit better, One of the GPU s (sometime GPU4 and somethimes GPU 3) is on 0
NVML: can not get current temperature error 15.
then it reboots with one GPU less.

Any help Would be Appreciated, and rewarded from my side!!

thanks in advance

I have almost same problem. My rig was worked fine about 1week. Later something went wrong... I started search why my pc don't see only 6gpu of 7. Started to check cables, and found that cable which goes from psu to riser burned one contactor of six. Ok I thought maybe it's because I using cable for more then one year. I plug it to other psu place and turned on with -starp 1. Again my rig started work well but only about one hour and again it started to restart and again one gpu lost. Again checked cable and again same problem. Then I tried again to change in psu cable place and turned on rig without -strap function and currently everything is ok. I am not sure but I think something not so good with that -strap function. My rig working on two psu which is corsair RM850X. Have someone same issue?

Thank a lot!
