Anybody have problems with their AntMiner Just shutting itself off Randomly ?? 



sounds like a faulty or underpowered psu.  Is your ant overclocked?  and what is your psu that you are using for it?

My First Unit was a 600 Watt one ...

my Any is not Over clocked at all

The new Power Supply is a Coolmax  ZU-700B   700 Watt



Have you tried putting a +5v load on it?  I have that PSU (coolmax zu-700b) and it requires a +5v load to stay running.  I connected an old CDROM drive to mine and it runs 24/7 just fine.


Connected a CDROM drive to it and comes up mines for like 5 minutes and still shuts itself off ...  I took the power supply from a Scrypt mining box we upgraded and it ran fine in there ,  Unless the ANT is defective then im like not so sure about shipping to China .

It sure sounds like a PSU problem.  In the Setup & Troubleshoot guide, scroll down to the Troubleshooting section and follow the steps in bullet point 3 to make sure the PSU is setup/connected correctly and to test each blade individually.  If each blade runs fine by itself then it's a PSU issue according to the guide.

Well ... So i decided last night to try something and it seems to work at least for the last 12 hours ,  I hooked a mother board up to the power supply also ..  and put it in bios ,  Now its staying on ..   Weird but hopefully this works long term !

Did you not do the jump wire trick?


+1  Huh Shocked

all you need is a paperclip or other 0.5" wire to short the PS-ON function to have the powersupply operate without a mobo
