Has anyone found a solution for the full machine lockup?

I searched through this thread and found a few people also running into this, but without resolution.

I'm assuming it has to do with a GPU going sick and bringing down the whole shabang.

My mine is headless, so it's hard to tell what happened other than after about 24 hours it sometimes becomes unresponsive and requires a power cycle. :-/
hard to say without knowing more about your setup but generally it has to do with setting TC or clocks too high

I cant stress enough how important it is to curb your GPU clocks to keep the switching working right.  If you are pushing one algo too hard and a switch comes along, chances are the card will go SICK and DEAD after the driver crashes.

Is there a log file that I can look through to see what is causing an issue?

I added a restart crontab as a hacky fix for now. Unsure if it will work.
