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?

ASICs are pretty bullet proof and they require very little attention actually. You just need to make sure they are well ventilated so they don't over heat and you should be good to go.

Only maintaince I did on my ASICs were cleaning the fans with an air compressor once every 6 months and that was about it. Never had any issues with crashing or anything. Only issues might come up is if you try and undervolt or overclock the frequencies from the stock settings, you might get hardware errors but won't result in a complete crash, just won't be efficient with hardware errors.
