Title: memory errors with 11x vega 64? let's see if anyone can solve this
Post by: ntshb on December 14, 2017, 04:58:58 PM
asus mining expert with latest bios
windows 10
Intel g4400
8GB ram
120GB ssd
11x vega 64
2x 1600w PSU
min 60Gb of virtual memory, max 80Gb


this miner worked with minor issues when it just had 5 vega 64s and 1 of the 1600w PSU. but the moment I added another 6 vega 64s, it would take a long time to reach windows but everything becomes extremely sluggish and BSODs appears with amd drivers as the cause of it.

ok so I removed the new cards, raised the virtual mem to 60gb, max 80gb. but didn't work.

Installed 17.10.2 drivers, but it stops me from shutting down the miner with some memory errors

clicked ok and when it reaches desktop, it says no amd drivers installed.

also, I can't seem to right click to pin any program to the taskbar or make the windows start menu appear.

I have my 7 card at 55gb vitural because at 50 it was intermittent.  so by that rationale 55 / 7 = 7.86 x 11 = 86gb min i'd say make it 95-100

at first i thought that was the case

but I have another miner with 12x sapphire 580 with 8gb of ram and 50+gb or something of virtual ram and it has no issues.
