Title: Claymore freezing
Post by: Dusterdanny on November 26, 2017, 10:36:38 PM
So i had 7 and cards running and decided to push my luck to 9.. ive updated to the fall creator drivers and have got everything good but when i put in the 2 new cards whenever I start claymore it freezes right after it detects all the cards and says pool/solo any ideas?

You may have an issue with your PSU : is it powerful enough ?

any ideas?
What PSU(s) do you use, what risers and how are they connected? What motherboard?

I have the asrock h110 13 gpu board with a 1300w evga psu and a 1000w cheap Rosehill. I had mostly everything under the evga but tried spreading it evenly between the 2 and still freezing up. I hooked up a power monitor and when I start claymore it doesn't go over 200w and freezes  no blue screen or anything.

Are all the cards properly recognized in the device manager? No exclamation marks and stuff like that? Are they software "accessible", can you monitor them with programs like GPU-Z, HWInfo etc?
Do you have spare risers to check the new cards with?

With latest Win 10 build and latest geforce drivers.. wait, you haven't even mentioned what cards you have. :D Anyway, doesn't matter, both amd and nvidia should work with latest drivers on Win 10 these days.

I have found it is either power or a hardware issue - I would say most often the latter.

Check your risers / connections as first option. If you had stability previously try adding one card at a time.

Make sure also you have adequate RAM and virtual memory is set to 16gb +

I've tried a new riser also tries different drivers i have the virtual memory up.. i have 8 gigs of ram that should b lots.. it runs fine with 8 maybe 8s the limit with amd cards still...?

8 is not the limit.

Up to what? You need a lot of virtual memory for 9 cards. Vega owners use 8gb per card, for example. What cards are you running anyway?! How do you people manage to create these "help" topics without saying anything about your setups? :D Every single detail has to be pulled out of you..
