Rig is giving me fits.

Constant, constant troubleshooting.  Can't get anything stable.  Rig will run fine for hours and then shutdown.  When trying to restart, Claymore miner will get to the OpenCL Pool/Solo and crash and burn before generating the DAGs.  I isolated the trouble card by using -di 0.  So it's failing on GPU0 when trying to initialize.  I took all risers out of the mix and plugged card straight into PCI slot.  Card shows up in device manager, appears working fine, and just wont initialize in the miner.  I flashed back to original bios and still no joy.  Sensors look okay in GPUZ.  Do I have a brick?

Ok, so i reset my bios, changed all appropriate PCI settings to Gen2, enabled 4g, re-installed windows 10, ran all updates, disabled update service after that, plopped all 6 sapphire pulse rx 570's into PCI slots 1,2,3,4,5, and 7...then installed radeon crypto drivers and STILL ONLY SEE 5 CARDS.

Anyone got a flamethrower?

Daniel- yes, all six GPU work fine independently but windows 10 does not see them all when plugged in together.  It will only see up to 5.  GPU seems okay, it’s a brand new 1200 w platinum evga. I also tried completely wiping the GPu drivers with DDU and still no joy. 

I’m starting to think this may be a windows 10 problem.  I may reinstall.

Thanks for all the suggestions, please keep them coming!

I located the card that was not showing up, which was in the PCIe1_2 slot.  I shut down, and removed all cards except that one and it worked with just that one card and riser installed.  This leads me to a conclusion that it is something to do with mounting the sixth card.  Five works fine.  6 is no good.

Device manager shows 5 GPU

mobo bios is newest version, flashed today.

36 Hour Rubbleshoot - ASUS z270-a only mounting 5 of 6 rx570

Ok....I have to reach out for help with my first post to this forum.  I've searched and searched and troubleshot until I'm out of ideas.  I've searched the forum and the google webs and my eyes are popping out of my head.  Apologies if this has been answered already.

Asus Prime z270-a is only picking up 5 of 6 of my Sapphire Pulse rx 570's.  Here's what I've done so far:

- isolated each card and riser to make sure they are working individually
- DDU'd the drivers in safe mode and reinstalled the crypto driver from AMD
- scaled in by loading one card at a time and rebooting after each card; it refuses to recognize card 6
- changed bios settings to gen2 and G4 enabled
- changed pci configuration to use all three PCI 16 slots and then the first three PCI 1 slots

still no luck.  I'm out of ideas.  HELP!
