Windows Remote Desktop and Teamviewer usually won't load if you got some system hang. For some reason the way the AMD drivers were programmed were that during some crashes, if you try and use the computer normally, all is well. However you can't mine on that GPU. If you try and do a reboot, it for some reason freezes then. You can't log into Teamviewer or Remote Desktop anymore. Hence on some crashes where 5 GPUs out of 6 were still mining, I just left it.

I've been mining since 2013 or so and never had these issues back in the litecoin GPU days of 2013-2014. Those older AMD 15.12 drivers were rock solid stable. Basically never crashed for 1 month, probably used 2x the power even. The issues I think started with Windows 10 for me. Also combined with the buggy AMD drivers released after 2017 wasn't a good combo. Especially their Wattman tool which I could never get to work correct.

Hence this keep this in mind. For some it works but for me it was a big headache to make it long distance.
Great tips for GPU miners there, im using Asics so will there be the same problem?
