Hey guys,
I just wanted to share this token project with you, I personally know the developer and much of the team, and I think these guys are stand up guys that deserve proper recognition.
A bit about the project itself:
Started October 2018
Fully functional SportsBook as of May 2019...HUGE use case and project, great site
Fully functional Casino as of July 2019...another HUGE use case
Currently running Presale via Discord/Telegram before launch of over 20 IEO's and concurrent ICO
They already have a strong Discord/Telegram following
But mostly, the Dev and team are really good guys.

For SPECIAL pricing on Presale, use this referral code: 1X2JBBTCTALK

Or just hit me up directly on Discord @1X2 JB, or Telegram @JBHawk

Here are the links for already fully functioning products, this is where the 1X2T Tokens can be used:
SportsBook - https://1x2coinsportsbook.com/live
Casino - https://games.1x2coin.net/

Website:
https://1x2coin.net/

Also on the horizon, we already have 2 commitments from 2 of the top 10 SportsBooks in the world...they will accept our 1X2T Tokens on their platforms once we reach the appropriate volume :-)

If you mean did I try to differentiate the cards via fan setting then yes, but I have several water cooled cards that the MSI settings won't change the fan on :-(

Thank you for the suggestion though!

GPU order?

It doesn't seem that EWBF matches either Device Manager, MSI AB, or GPUz, is there a way to determine what card is what?
Been trying to overclock/undervolt but I can't seem to figure out which card errors out so I'm just shooting in the dark :-)

I'm using 11.8 on a 13 AMD RX580 card rig, I have tried mining ETH on Suprnova, Ubiq on Suprnova and ubiwpool...and I cannot get the proper payout.
According to Whattomine I should be getting .03 ETH every 24 hours, I mined it for 3 days and got .03.  And on Ubiq I should be getting 10-12 every 24 hours but I've mined that for 3 days now as well and haven't even gotten 10...
Mh/s is good at 393, anyone else experiencing this?

Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v11.7 (Windows/Linux)

Hello,
Just set up Asus B250 board with 13 AMD RX 580's, this is my 4th miner and 2nd AMD rig exactly like this one.
Weird thing happening...when I start the CM miner, it gives me nothing past the start up screen:
Eth: 1 pool is specified
Main Ethereum pool is eth.suprnova.cc:5005
DCR: 0 pool is specified

Then after 5 minutes (apperently) it says:
Miner cannot initialize for 5 minutes, need to restart miner!

Here is command line:
ethdcrminer64.exe -epool eth.suprnova.cc:5005 -ewal ***.*** -epsw * -esm 3 -allpools 1 -dbg 1


I have a funny feeling it's to do with Windows Defender, because since I've been trying to get this thing working for the last few days, it never popped up and asked for me to Allow it through the firewall...but idk for sure. I shut it off and still no action.

I would post a pic to make it easier but I cannot figure out how to do that :-)



Hey there,
So you have debug on, what do your logs tell you?

Try adding

-di 0

Start with GPU0 only, would be a good thing to try, as you could be overloading your PSUs.
If it's a new rig, never been running/stable, break it down, get through the init on one GPU, prove your config and basic hw/sw enviro, and take it from there.

jooi, what PSU are you using, and how many GPU on each, how many risers per cable?

Kudos on the 13gpu rig man, not so easy to get those stable.

Good luck.


footnote:
Try this.

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

2x 1,200 watt gold psu's, even distrubuted as with my other one.
and only 2 risers per sata leg

Thank you for you help!


OK, will it sounds like your PSU and topology is thought through, so maybe leave that for now.
Could you post the debug log, from the batch file I added above?

(Just to rule out the pool angles, as I have no experience with suprnova, and Ethermine, being pretty much the biggest there is, makes for a good choice when testing, even if you don't plan on mining with those guys).

Now that said, what SHOULD be happening at this stage is the init of OpenCL, (or CUDA if you're using Nvidia).
OpenCL is managed via the AMD driver, so assuming you don't have a problem with the pool, I think you need to investigate if OpenCL is available.

One way to do that, (with a only single GPU in the rig), is you use GPU-z, and see if the OpenCL check box is populated.

Now, I have also seen perfectly good working rigs, where that checkbox is NOT populated, and clearly that is wrong, so to be absolutely sure, you (again with only 1 GPU in the rig), could boot to safe mode, DDU, reboot, install the AMD driver, set to compute, reboot, and check GPU-z, I have never seen that fail to confirm OpenCL.

From there, try my batch file again, and post the log if you're still stuck.
Good luck

Also, VM? Set to 48000GB if need be.

Foot note, in case anyone needs convincing of the single GPU method. If you do a clean AMD driver install with 13GPU, this alone can take hours, more so, if it fails, and AMD themselves STILL have an open bug on init fail with more than 12GPU.

Often when testing theories, working through troubleshooting etc, this is time consuming, and for sure you probably work at testing, (proving) some angles that were perfectly fine to start with. Time is not wasted of course, as you can cross those off the list, elimination of them, takes you closer to the answer.
But all the same, if you have multiple GPU, that's an exponential multiplier on the possibilities of fault, and means more time to troubleshoot is a given.
Breaking it down to basics, (you only need to pull the USB cables from the MB, for the most part), is pretty quick, you don't need to physically remove the GPUs etc, means you can run DDU, and reinstall the AMD driver with the minimum time consumed, and get back to starting Claymore as quickly as possible.

AMD driver install time, is pretty acceptable with a single GPU, but 12 and 13 is really nasty, and I have seen that fail many times, so working on proof of concept with a single GPU is by far the fastest, and most likely to provide solutions imho.

BTW 18.3.4 is a stable driver for mining.
Note: there is NOTHING mentioned in any release notes from AMD, on any mining related improvements in the drivers release since 18.3.4.
That is not to say the newer drivers are bad, (some are though), but simply, 18.3.4 has been out for a while, rolls up all the mining related things you probably need for RX570/580 hardware, and has proved itself far more than any of the drivers released since then. So, if you're going to DDU etc, I'd suggest 18.3.4 is a good choice, known good, known stable, well proven choice, and when you're troubleshooting, you need to focus on elimination of doubt. Go with what you know, (is good).



I was wondering why niether of the cuda opencl boxes were checked, and there has been an error that GPU-Z gives me when I open it or switch cards. I installed W10 1709 I believe then it updated to 1803, so I reverted back and have had strange things since. So I'mma do a fresh install and see what happens, I was able to flash the mod bios already so I don't really need atiflash to work anyway so I'll try 1803 fresh.
Thank you so much!

No worries, wow, that is a nasty situation with win updates. But before you roll back, it would be very helpful to know, if the DDU, clean install, or alternatively a manual driver install in devman as Ursul0 pointed out, gets you anywhere.

Because one would hope that DDU/clean install-driver option is an available solution.

But indeed, you could be right, I have seen some systems in a real mess after a OS roll back, and while that isn't to say that applies in your case, it's always one of those nasty things that sow the seeds of doubt later.

Also, you might like to set all your NICs to metered connection, that at least for the most part, prevents MS from updating your rig, or if nothing else, gives you some warning when they try to.

Regedit
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\DefaultMediaCost]

Grant your user "folder" permissions, and change all NICs to dword 2.
e.g.
"3G"=dword:00000002
"4G"=dword:00000002
"Default"=dword:00000002
"Ethernet"=dword:00000002
"WiFi"=dword:00000002

It won't help you with your current problem, but might be useful on your rigs
Good luck.

Same result after multiple DDU removes and fresh GPU driver installs.  Spent today doing fresh install of 1803, which as soon as I installed 7 or more GPU's the thing would just crawl to a snails pace...lagging so heavy I couldn't handle it.
Then did a fresh install of 1709, super quick, no BSOD during install, no freezes, smooth.  Got driver installed and all the W10 tweaks done, tried to install Hwinfo64 after all the oc/uv was complete...Hwinfo64 stops working almost immediately after starting it up, gets stuck and freezes on "checking system configuration - analyzing pcie bus"
Searched and couldn't find a solution, uncheck this, check that...etc.  Nothing worked.
Then noticed your guys comments, and I'm still getting the same error on GPU-Z, and still no Opencl populated.  So there I am :-)


I think this was actually a rufus setting problem on my part...didn't set the gpt/uefi correctly so I had all sort of issues.  Still don't have it fixed, I get it up but then a new problem starts, can't tell if it's the Win10 download I'm using or what, so I'mma try the link that someone put out for 1609.  This last round of tests I did 1709 and did everything one by one, testing mining ever step.  This time I got all the way to installing the drivers then it crapped out and wouldn't opencl, CM would just hang there and do nothing.  Uninstalled driver and tried to go back to windows driver but that won't work now either...so to the next version of Win10 I go :-/

v11.8:

- fixed issue with missed GPU temperatures when miner is started via Remote Desktop Connection (RDC).
- Linux version: removed libcurl library dependency.
- added "-showdiff" option.
- a few minor bug fixes and improvements.


Was expecting a bigger update with some hashrate improvements and some interesting suggested features but looks like i'm gonna stay with PhoenixMiner again :'p

Dick...

Thanks Claymore for your work, you make life a little better for thousands of miners all around the world :-)

Tonight, I will go all the way back to 1709 with NO UPDATES, and see if it works.  If not, I will try 1607 with NO UPDATES and see if that works.  So bothersome :-)

If you install 1709 and set "feature updates" to be deferred for 365 days you will not get 1803. Windows Update - Advanced options.

Brilliant, thank you so much!

I have a strange problem with my miner since Windows 10 1803 and I wonder if any of you have had similar issues that you've solved. The rig is a tiny hobby system: a B250 Mining Expert with four RX580's of varying brands. All cards have modded BIOSs, and I overclock using my start.bat options.

I looked back through the mining logs from Claymore (11.2 at the time) to see that before the update restart, all cards were going at near 31 Mh/s, a rate that it had been maintaining for months with no problem. After the update, all cards were running at 18.5 Mh/s.

When I noticed, I updated my AMD drivers to 18.5.1 and set it to compute mode, and updated Claymore to 11.7. At that point, one of my four cards was back to 30 Mh/s, all the rest remained at 18.5 Mh/s. I've checked my VM, which is at 48000 MB, so I doubt that's an issue. I haven't managed to locate anyone else on here reporting a similar issue, so I'm wondering if any of you have dealt with this and if so, how?

Thanks!

That's really interesting, I have 13 cards on same board, and I just added one of them to the system. Should be the best one for mining but it's running at 18 mh/s and all others 25+.
Love to know what's going on there, I'm in newest CM and newest driver as well, Win10 1709

I have a strange thing going on with Suprnova Eth pool, and support doesn't respond so they are no help.

I mined for 2 days and received no payout, even says I've earned nothing, then a few days later I got a bunch of larger deposits so all was well.  Now, same thing happening again, but no payouts at all for 3 days.  Weirder yet, under account balance it says 8.531e-5 for the amount...but when I try to cash out it does nothing.

Any ideas or similar experiences?

Well that would be 0.00008531 so yeah, no pool would let you cash out that amount.  What is your hashrate?  If you are mining dust then you really can't expect much.



Haha that makes sense, I was like wth how did I get 8 ETH!! 
So yeah I'm over 350+ mh/s with 13 RX580's

I don't see anything in the read me text, is there a command that will give me an average of hash rate versus just what it was most recently?  Seems like an average would be very useful when overclocking.

Hello,
Just set up Asus B250 board with 13 AMD RX 580's, this is my 4th miner and 2nd AMD rig exactly like this one.
Weird thing happening...when I start the CM miner, it gives me nothing past the start up screen:
Eth: 1 pool is specified
Main Ethereum pool is eth.suprnova.cc:5005
DCR: 0 pool is specified

Then after 5 minutes (apperently) it says:

Here is command line:
ethdcrminer64.exe -epool eth.suprnova.cc:5005 -ewal ***.*** -epsw ** -esm 3 -allpools 1 -dbg 1


I have a funny feeling it's to do with Windows Defender, because since I've been trying to get this thing working for the last few days, it never popped up and asked for me to Allow it through the firewall...but idk for sure. I shut it off and still no action.

I would post a pic to make it easier but I cannot figure out how to do that :-)



this is happening to me as well. Exactly same specs
Asus B250 board with 13 AMD RX 580's
Windows 10 version 1803 (build 17134.81), fully patched (patched yesterday)
16 GB minimum virtual RAM, 100 GB maximum
windows defender disabled



I installed windows, AMD drivers and one GPU(rx580), tested mining, it worked fine.

Now, I have added 5 more GPUs and then decided to test, the problem started
So far uninstalled and reinstalled AMD drivers
debug log doesn't say much
tried -di 0 (command) no luck
Not sure what's happening here

Okay, so I have managed to workaround the problem in Windows 1803 version, ASUS B250, AMD driver 18.3.4

1) Disabled Windows Firewall (disabled via service) and rebooted, this intermittently fixed the problem for me
2) Then I disabled "Intel onboard GPU (Yes driver of this GPU is up to date)" so now every time I start miner, it takes a bit of time to start but works fine.

I still believe it's problem with Windows 1803 version as my other rigs are working fine.


So...rookie mistake on my part...
I didn't go through and fully set up the bios after I flashed new bios, I forgot to enable CSM.  Enabled and all the sudden I was able to get OpenCL, which in turn gave me CM functionality.
Sorry guys, hope this at least helped in some way.
FYI, I'm on 1709 with no updates, newest AMD driver 15.5.1

Huh Cry
We are having the same problem that Marius 85 and others seem to be having.



We reformatted our hard drive, reinstalled windows 10...had to go with 1803 as we did not have an older version available.  Downloaded Radeon driver 18.5.2 and Claymore 11.7.  We put the EthDcrminer64.exe into windows defender exceptions and still shuts off as soon as we start.  Here is the last log

20:26:16:149   e38   DCR: 0 pool is specified


We even went into the console and tried to run the program...exactly the same log as this one. Just keeps shutting down as soon as it starts.

Very frustrated as the miner was running so well for the past four months.  We're newbies so we're at the limit of our knowledge base.
We are running three RX 570's with moded bios....ran patch...they are recognized and in compute mode.  One XFX RX 570 not moded on compute mode....we had stable 111mh/s on previous windows and Claymore 11.0.

Is there any hope?Huh



Clone the SSD from another working rig. Update drivers only, if required.

I know that we are super small fish and this might work but we just have the one little 4 card rig.  I mistyped and we are running adrenaline 18.5.1.  It won't even run through the console as recommended by isux on page 1205. I have seen this same issue on several other posts but no fix that works for us.  What other things should we be looking at?  We copied the setx commands into the bat file and the log shows the only commands we have after that.  Config file is all #'ed out so no interference or double commands. Even if it is an overclock issue we should at least be seeing the stock card run something.

That sounds frustrating.
What do you have Virtual memory set to?
With 4GPU, 16GB should be fine, but if you want to absolutely exclude this possibility, set VM to 48000, (I have some 13 GPU rigs running that, and it's fine).

Also, side note, actually, I'll do a new post on this bit, hibernation!

If you didn't try it already, turn on debug and see if Claymore log adds some clues.

And if you really hit the wall, remove all the GPU but 1, boot to safe mode, run DDU, reboot, and install AMD driver with that single GPU, set to compute, reboot, and see if that works. Then add back the other GPU, build up to that etc, but get a proof of concept first.

Don't forget to switch off debug when things are running.

Good luck

Foot note: As always, if you get stuck, post your complete batch file content.
There are a lot of possible causes to this, so there is no one answer, but another common error is to command a clock the hardware can't deliver on. Claymore is waiting for some ack, which depending on what you sent to the hw, the driver, and probably the hw ability to cope with the impossible, might not send an ack, and Claymore can only wait, (and have the smarts to not wait forever, but trip a reset after 5 min).

But going back to basics, break it down, is a good method for debugging. Yes, it might be painful, but if done right and systematically, DOES deliver a good probability of finding a solution. Far more so than blindly stumbling around in the dark, hoping to get lucky, hmmm that reminds me of something else, hahaha.


I thought of "quoting" all of you who have posted your suggestions but that would just get ridiculous.  Thank you all for your willingness to help.  I am so thankful for all of the posts and comments.  This forum is so helpful. 
iSuX somehow I had missed the debug...I'm mining because I love learning and constantly figuring things out so we're going to try that next.  (Although 74hawksfans' log after they ran the -dbg 1 command still looks like mine.)  I reread the ReadMe file and there is the -oldkernel command and we haven't tried that either.  We're pretty sure the hibernation isn't an issue as we have a 250G SSD and our VM is set to 36 with only 4 cards. Our batch file is very basic, nothing past -epsw x as we're just trying to get it back to life for now.  I saw posts by lesjokolat and Jonet we're going to try, making sure of spaces and hard returns.


After the reinstall of Windows 10 version 1803 we ran DDU twice then reinstalled the latest Adreniline 18.5.1 with one gpu plugged in.  That gpu does not have a bios mod. We didn't try to run with just that one gpu so we'll do that with the -dbg command and update you all when we see how that goes. 
74hawksfan...have you found out how to get back to 1709?  I think that would fix all our issues.  Urs10 thank you for the link to the Win 10 Anniversary 1607 ISO. If debug doesn't get as any further we may go all the way back to that and try it and the AMD 18.3.4 as others say that driver is stable. 

All it'll take is time.  We're old retired folks...yes guys baby boomers can be into crypto!  So we have nothing but time.
Thanks again to all of you.



Sorry I just now seen this, stuck in a crawlspace for part of the day...
So here's what I've done:
Installed fresh 1709 then ran updates as Mining.help says to do, which included 1803. Slows to a crawl with mouse sticking every few seconds for several seconds...unusable.
Installed fresh 1803...same result.
Installed 1709 ran updates and then rolled back, some things worked but CM miner not one of them. Also, found that I would get error with GPU-Z, so I hit him up and he sent me a different version that no longer errors on opening or when switching cards, but still OpenCL not populated, which I think is the reason CM miner won't go to that next step.
Installed 1709 ran updates and killed Windows Update as soon as I got all the updates but before 1803 was completely installed...same issue, no CM miner and no OpenCL.
Also have tried 3 different version of AMD drivers...no bueno either.
Tonight, I will go all the way back to 1709 with NO UPDATES, and see if it works.  If not, I will try 1607 with NO UPDATES and see if that works.  So bothersome :-)

Hello,
Just set up Asus B250 board with 13 AMD RX 580's, this is my 4th miner and 2nd AMD rig exactly like this one.
Weird thing happening...when I start the CM miner, it gives me nothing past the start up screen:
Eth: 1 pool is specified
Main Ethereum pool is eth.suprnova.cc:5005
DCR: 0 pool is specified

Then after 5 minutes (apperently) it says:
Miner cannot initialize for 5 minutes, need to restart miner!

Here is command line:
ethdcrminer64.exe -epool eth.suprnova.cc:5005 -ewal ***.*** -epsw ** -esm 3 -allpools 1 -dbg 1


I have a funny feeling it's to do with Windows Defender, because since I've been trying to get this thing working for the last few days, it never popped up and asked for me to Allow it through the firewall...but idk for sure. I shut it off and still no action.

I would post a pic to make it easier but I cannot figure out how to do that :-)



this is happening to me as well. Exactly same specs
Asus B250 board with 13 AMD RX 580's
Windows 10 version 1803 (build 17134.81), fully patched (patched yesterday)
16 GB minimum virtual RAM, 100 GB maximum
windows defender disabled



I installed windows, AMD drivers and one GPU(rx580), tested mining, it worked fine.

Now, I have added 5 more GPUs and then decided to test, the problem started
So far uninstalled and reinstalled AMD drivers
debug log doesn't say much
tried -di 0 (command) no luck
Not sure what's happening here


So it's happening with just 6 cards as well?
Wth...
I am looking for a different version of 1709 to see if it's just some issue with the build I have...idk...sucks

Hey there,
So you have debug on, what do your logs tell you?

Try adding

-di 0

Start with GPU0 only, would be a good thing to try, as you could be overloading your PSUs.
If it's a new rig, never been running/stable, break it down, get through the init on one GPU, prove your config and basic hw/sw enviro, and take it from there.

jooi, what PSU are you using, and how many GPU on each, how many risers per cable?

Kudos on the 13gpu rig man, not so easy to get those stable.

Good luck.

2x 1,200 watt gold psu's, even distrubuted as with my other one.
and only 2 risers per sata leg

Thank you for you help!


OK, will it sounds like your PSU and topology is thought through, so maybe leave that for now.
Could you post the debug log, from the batch file I added above?

(Just to rule out the pool angles, as I have no experience with suprnova, and Ethermine, being pretty much the biggest there is, makes for a good choice when testing, even if you don't plan on mining with those guys).

Now that said, what SHOULD be happening at this stage is the init of OpenCL, (or CUDA if you're using Nvidia).
OpenCL is managed via the AMD driver, so assuming you don't have a problem with the pool, I think you need to investigate if OpenCL is available.

One way to do that, (with a only single GPU in the rig), is you use GPU-z, and see if the OpenCL check box is populated.

Now, I have also seen perfectly good working rigs, where that checkbox is NOT populated, and clearly that is wrong, so to be absolutely sure, you (again with only 1 GPU in the rig), could boot to safe mode, DDU, reboot, install the AMD driver, set to compute, reboot, and check GPU-z, I have never seen that fail to confirm OpenCL.

From there, try my batch file again, and post the log if you're still stuck.
Good luck

Also, VM? Set to 48000GB if need be.

Foot note, in case anyone needs convincing of the single GPU method. If you do a clean AMD driver install with 13GPU, this alone can take hours, more so, if it fails, and AMD themselves STILL have an open bug on init fail with more than 12GPU.

Often when testing theories, working through troubleshooting etc, this is time consuming, and for sure you probably work at testing, (proving) some angles that were perfectly fine to start with. Time is not wasted of course, as you can cross those off the list, elimination of them, takes you closer to the answer.
But all the same, if you have multiple GPU, that's an exponential multiplier on the possibilities of fault, and means more time to troubleshoot is a given.
Breaking it down to basics, (you only need to pull the USB cables from the MB, for the most part), is pretty quick, you don't need to physically remove the GPUs etc, means you can run DDU, and reinstall the AMD driver with the minimum time consumed, and get back to starting Claymore as quickly as possible.

AMD driver install time, is pretty acceptable with a single GPU, but 12 and 13 is really nasty, and I have seen that fail many times, so working on proof of concept with a single GPU is by far the fastest, and most likely to provide solutions imho.

BTW 18.3.4 is a stable driver for mining.
Note: there is NOTHING mentioned in any release notes from AMD, on any mining related improvements in the drivers release since 18.3.4.
That is not to say the newer drivers are bad, (some are though), but simply, 18.3.4 has been out for a while, rolls up all the mining related things you probably need for RX570/580 hardware, and has proved itself far more than any of the drivers released since then. So, if you're going to DDU etc, I'd suggest 18.3.4 is a good choice, known good, known stable, well proven choice, and when you're troubleshooting, you need to focus on elimination of doubt. Go with what you know, (is good).



I was wondering why niether of the cuda opencl boxes were checked, and there has been an error that GPU-Z gives me when I open it or switch cards. I installed W10 1709 I believe then it updated to 1803, so I reverted back and have had strange things since. So I'mma do a fresh install and see what happens, I was able to flash the mod bios already so I don't really need atiflash to work anyway so I'll try 1803 fresh.
Thank you so much!

No worries, wow, that is a nasty situation with win updates. But before you roll back, it would be very helpful to know, if the DDU, clean install, or alternatively a manual driver install in devman as Ursul0 pointed out, gets you anywhere.

Because one would hope that DDU/clean install-driver option is an available solution.

But indeed, you could be right, I have seen some systems in a real mess after a OS roll back, and while that isn't to say that applies in your case, it's always one of those nasty things that sow the seeds of doubt later.

Also, you might like to set all your NICs to metered connection, that at least for the most part, prevents MS from updating your rig, or if nothing else, gives you some warning when they try to.

Regedit
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\DefaultMediaCost]

Grant your user "folder" permissions, and change all NICs to dword 2.
e.g.
"3G"=dword:00000002
"4G"=dword:00000002
"Default"=dword:00000002
"Ethernet"=dword:00000002
"WiFi"=dword:00000002

It won't help you with your current problem, but might be useful on your rigs
Good luck.

Same result after multiple DDU removes and fresh GPU driver installs.  Spent today doing fresh install of 1803, which as soon as I installed 7 or more GPU's the thing would just crawl to a snails pace...lagging so heavy I couldn't handle it.
Then did a fresh install of 1709, super quick, no BSOD during install, no freezes, smooth.  Got driver installed and all the W10 tweaks done, tried to install Hwinfo64 after all the oc/uv was complete...Hwinfo64 stops working almost immediately after starting it up, gets stuck and freezes on "checking system configuration - analyzing pcie bus"
Searched and couldn't find a solution, uncheck this, check that...etc.  Nothing worked.
Then noticed your guys comments, and I'm still getting the same error on GPU-Z, and still no Opencl populated.  So there I am :-)

Hello,
Just set up Asus B250 board with 13 AMD RX 580's, this is my 4th miner and 2nd AMD rig exactly like this one.
Weird thing happening...when I start the CM miner, it gives me nothing past the start up screen:
Eth: 1 pool is specified
Main Ethereum pool is eth.suprnova.cc:5005
DCR: 0 pool is specified

Then after 5 minutes (apperently) it says:
Miner cannot initialize for 5 minutes, need to restart miner!

Here is command line:
ethdcrminer64.exe -epool eth.suprnova.cc:5005 -ewal ***.*** -epsw ** -esm 3 -allpools 1 -dbg 1


I have a funny feeling it's to do with Windows Defender, because since I've been trying to get this thing working for the last few days, it never popped up and asked for me to Allow it through the firewall...but idk for sure. I shut it off and still no action.

I would post a pic to make it easier but I cannot figure out how to do that :-)

Have some strange thing going on where every time I boot up the miner I have to delete the .bin file, otherwise it does the "stopped working" windows things.
