I have one antminer S2 acting up.. runs fine for like 45 minutes but then powers it self off and can't power it on again for at least 10 minutes.
Something maybe faulty with a capacitor? or perhaps the PSU thats not able to actually hold the amount of power draw from the antminer?
Any advice?

Thanks
classic symptom of an overtaxed psu.

can you disconnect 3 boards maybe 2 boards run the machine short on boards . then add back boards until you are short one board.  my guess is it will run nonstop with 2 boards off not one board off.

if it runs non stop on 8 boards pull the psu and put in a good 1200 or 1300 watt psu.


I have had these high power draw issues with all kinds of psu's running gpis back in the day.
