Hi.
So I am trying to check of the bios on my cards was changed for OC under EthOS.
Since the guy who set up the system is abroad, I formatted the system and installed Windows 10 (i hope this was a smart move) since I don't know Linux at all.

Issue is - I get error:
 
GPU X hangs om OpenCL


After googling, I see advice is to make sure bios was not modded.

But how do I know if it was?

I downloaded GPU-Z and they all seem to be running same (see pic)?

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thank you

very simple ... ask the guy who "set up your the system "
your bios is not going to be modded from overclocking , its going to be modded if someone modded the bios :)

I know. But we are not in touch. Long story.

is there a way of knowing if the bios is "stock" or modded?

That error just means the card is overclocked too much. Try lowering the memory overclock by 25-50 MHz and see if it helps. Also run HWinfo 'sensors only' to check for memory errors and lower the memory clock until the are none.

Thank you.

What tool would U use to reduce memory?

Thanks!

EDIT:

Don't see any memory errors (if this is where U look):

You can use Msi Afterburner. If are using the blockchain drivers, you need to use v4.4.0 beta 16.

No memory errors is good. They will usually only show up when mining though. Lowering the memory clock by 50 MHz should fix it.

Thank you so much.

Reduced via your link (beta msi afterburner)

trying now....


EDIT:

according to this (just noticed - noob to this): the GUPs are not even active? Is this correct? Might not be a memory issue then?

EDIT 2:


Also - tried to run TRIXX (can't remember why though - got it from some link at google): and got this error (not sure if it's relevant but thought i will attache)

EDIT 3:


My GPU is (i am almost sure of this) is:
SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon™ RX 580 8GD5

And I downloaded Drivers from here:

The cards showing zero hash means they have crashed. Restart the rig and try again after setting the core clock to 1150 MHz and the memory clock to 1950 MHz in Afterburner. If the cards are hashing, check for memory errors in HWinfo. If there are no errors and it's stable, you can try increasing  the memory clock by 25 MHz to see if it's stable. It could also be a bad riser. Double check the riser is connected all the way and switch them around if you're still having the error.

The OpenCL error in GPU-Z means you don't have the AMD APP-SDK installed. Just install the latest OpenCL runtime libraries from the latest version.

Can't thank you enough for your help.

Just to confirm - once I click the "check" button on Afterburner - voltage has been applied? Or do I need to do something else?

(very bad UI i think)

EDIT:

only the 2 will work (circled in blue):

Yes, once the check is grayed out it means the settings are applied. Try running the miner again. If you are using a config file, make sure there are no -cclock or -mclock parameters listed in it.

Thank you.

Plz see screenshot.

Will try again now:

3 (out of 5) GPUs will not fire up

Swapped Raiser to see if this is a raiser issue. It's not. Same card still works with different razor.

How can it be that windows will detect all cards, but claymore won't fire them all?

Check Device Manager in Windows to see if the are any GPU's with errors. If there is a Code 43 error, the cards have a Bios mod and you need to run the pixel patcher to bypass the signature check.

It may be a bad Bios mod causing the card to crash. You can try flashing the original Bios using Atiwinflash. Check with GPU-Z if they are Sapphire Pulse RX 580 4 GB or 8 GB cards and what memory type they have. I have a Sapphire Pulse RX 580 4GB card with Hynix memory and I uploaded the original Bios below. Don't try it if it's an 8GB card or any card other than a Sapphire Pulse RX 580 4GB with Hynix memory or if it shows a different memory brand in GPU-Z. Backup the Bios that's on the card first using Atiflash before flashing the Bios.

do you have enough system memory ? 4GB at least but 8GB is better ...
did you set windows virtual memory at least 16GB or more ?
what is the wattage of your PSU ?
did you see any error under Device Manager in Windows when you double click on the vga cards ?
are those cards have a dual bios  ?

"My GPU is (i am almost sure of this) is:
SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon™ RX 580 8GD5"
are u not even sure what vga cards you have ?

you dont see any memory errors because you checking mem errors when your card in idle mode  ;D , not under mining or any kind of load
