Title: Blackscreen after 10 minutes of mining...
Post by: acex* on September 05, 2017, 08:38:06 AM
Hello Bitcoin Forum!

i got issues with my mining rig.

my system:

ASROCK FM2A78M PRO3+
AMD A6 6400K Dual-Core Processor
Platimax 80PLUS 1350
8GB DDR3

so i got 3 GPU´s

first one is a R9380 STRIX . works all fine on solo mining
the another 2 are R9390 WINDFORCE if i try to solo mine with them they work for 5-15 min after them i got a blackscreen and can only restart the system...

if i dual mine its the same issue with the blackscreen

what i try to fix the problem.

15.12 driver - failed
newest driver failed
riser changed - failed
another psu - failed
more virtuall RAM - failed

if i underclock the r9390 windforce and set the setting from the miner after 100 to 80% it works longer but again with blackscreen...

what i can do..
i set already the underclock on Mem clock 950 and gpu clock to 700 and again the issue..
i changed the power limit from the power limit (%) to +50 .. again blackscreen its wayne if i give him -50 +50 or 0 ...

i dont know what to do guys please support me ... i only want that this thing work.. i dont want the 390 sols if i can only 200 is enoguh.. only should to work one day without blackscreen...

another info.
but if i try on a another PC to play games with the r9390 windforce it works fine..
i played 5 games overwatch and no lag no blackscreen..


sorry for my bad english !

and all things in your mind are here welcome

Can't be temperature issues?
What miner you are using? Try to lower intensity.
Is the Windforce new? Old, long time used GPUs may fail unexpectedly.

P.S. You should be asking in altcoin section ( to move the topic use link at bottom left )

EDIT: I see your MB has only 1 PCI-e x16. Are you using powered risers?
What if you put the windforce in PCIe x16 (alone) is it working?

thanks bitfort for your answer.

it was normaly over 90C i refreshed the thermal paste and i blow all dust out with a compressor
now it works fine
i gived fanspeed to 75-80% and he go max to 75C
im using zeccash miner, i tryed the newerst version and the 1.2.3 version.. all the same bad..

the windforce isn´t new :/ i bought it used

EDIT:-> i dont know what you mean with "powered" riser i use normaly riser :P
you mean to put it on the mobo ? i never tryed.. good think, i will try it later

1. Check the power settings in windows and make sure the system is not going to "sleep mode" after X minutes. (Set it to ALWAYS ON
2. Have you enabled the 4G decoding in bios? If yes, make sure you have the latest AMD drivers installed

OK, seems the issue solved.

Just o add: powered risers has extra molex (or pci-e connector) and you definitely have to use them when using more gpus (but i think more than 4-5) otherwise you can burn you MB.

1. yes i checked it
2. no i doesnt do anythink in bios.. never heard of 4G decoding :o
maybe this can be the issue ?
that the pcie doenst give so mutch power what the gpu needs and because of that it comes a blackscreen ?..

You probably trying to squeeze so much out of it, try lower your setting a little.

Not the 100% to  80% but from 2075 to 2050 etc.
You will getting more help at mining section and which mining program you use would also help.

True, the correct section is mining ALTCOIN. Move the topic here  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.0 (sorry i didn't notice you moved it wrong).

IMO you should be playing with "intensity" option ( rather than power). Can you provide link which miner you are using? I can't find any zeccash miner.

I know you don't want to hear this but it really looks like the windforce GPUs are faulty. I would try them alone (one after each other) to find out if both or just one of them.

Well, if lowering intensity not worked as well then I have no other ideas. To me it's pretty obvious the GPUs are faulty.

But might other user have better experience and other oprions.
Lastly will advice you to update OP with all options you have tried and miner you are using (because new readers will not bother reading entire thread).

Good luck.
