Not having much luck with PIMP 1.4.2 on an Asrock H81 Pro BTC motherboard with 6 Sapphire 270's using powered PCI-E USB risers. After boot up xorg shoots the CPU up to 100% for about 3 minutes. Then I get the following fault. I can RDP into the desktop.

Code:

Also, when starting any miner they lock up after printing out "Starting miner". A kill -9 will not even kill them. I have to reboot the machine. This machine worked fine using the SMOS distro. Any ideas?

FYI: Pimp 1.5.5-amd-14.4 version fixed the issues with the above box. Now happily mining on Nicehash X11/X13 auto-switching pool.
