Title: After installing 6th GPU system freezes + crashing now
Post by: ltcsprite on May 18, 2017, 07:32:33 PM
So I had 5 rx480 up and running smoothly, as I was awaiting some risers before adding the 6th rx480.   Running claymore miner v9.3 on win 10. 

Today I added the 6th GPU, system booted up to the login screen, but once you login the system freezes and reboots.

I removed the 6th card -- back to 5 GPU's and now when I start claymore miner I get the "ethdcrminer64.exe has stopped working error" and can't mine now.

Any thoughts on what could have happened?

 So frustrating.

That's all the further it gets before crashing.

How much RAM does the system have?  I have the same issue trying to run Claymore on a system with 2 cards and only 2GB of memory, upgrade forthcoming...

4GB,

I just re-installed win10 and drivers and that fixed the problem.   ;D

I think what happened maybe is the 6th GPU had a diff vid card driver from a previous rig setup attempt, lol.

It didn't like that.. not sure if thats why but thats my guess.

setting your first miner up is a freakin' rollercoaster ride.  :o

You need to set high virtual memory.

I have it set to 3000MB initial and 16000MB max.

Good enough?

You can try to set higher value to see it solves the problem or not. Just test it.
