Title: Strange behavior
Post by: rizabbasi on December 22, 2017, 04:01:34 PM
Hi,

There is a strange behavior.

After rig was running for less than two hours I noticed that the monitor was off. There was no response on clicking mouse. When clicked on keyboard the GPUs fans started spinning but nothing on monitor. After couple of minutes there was a message that Windows 10 encountered error and will restart. After restart Claymore got executed but GPU0 showing 0 hash rate and the miner got stuck on POOL/SOLO version.

GPU0 status: t=60C fan=53%
GPU1 status: t=54C fan=52%


Did hard reset and after that things got normal.

Any idea/clue about this strange behavior?

Looking forward and thanking you in anticipation.

Regards,

Rizwan

Can you tell us what GPUs are you using?  Are they over or under clocked?  Did you modify the BIOS (AMD cards)?  What kind of PSU are you using?

And finally, post your Claymore BAT file you are using.

Have you checked your screensavers? you should set those to never options. try to check also your risers as they are the most probably culprits if you have any extras try to replace them, you can do also troubleshooting by installing a single GPU only then observe

Hi,

GPU = 2x RX 580 (factory Overclocked)
BIOS modifications = No
PSU = Corsair HX1200i

BAT file:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-asia1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal 0xWALLET_ADDRESS -epsw x -mode 1 -allpools 1

everything looks fine there.  Are you using riser cables?  Do you have any spares that you can swap on GPU0?

Thanks. I am experiencing some stability for the last three hours are so. Previously I pointed Claymore to us-east and now asia (my continent). Seems that was the major reason.

Still monitoring.

Also put -r 1 in place but rig haven't restarted as yet.

Note:
On Claymore its maintaining:

GPU0 t=61C fan=58%
GPU1 t=58C fan=57%
[I have two GPUs]

On Afterburner setting are:
Core Voltage mV: untouched
Power Limit %: +0
Temp. Limit C: 85
Core Clock MHz: 1411
Memory Clock MHz: 2000
Fan Speed %: 45

How are these number?

Hi,

Not OK! Same issue. The rig operated for 4.5 hours and was down was the last 4.5 hours.

Is syncing of Windows Themes a possible cause?
