Title: Crashing rig while mining ETH Post by: ljbawss on January 24, 2018, 11:28:53 AM Hi,
Iīve been mining ZEC and ZCL successfully for some weeks now with my 6 RX580 rig but it keeps crashing immediately when I open Claymore Dual software for mining ETH. The entire rig shuts off and restarts within a minute. I flashed the cards with original bios but it didnīt help. Also tried different drivers, Blockchain drivers and newest drivers but none change anything. If I unplug one random card it does mine ETH stable on 5 cards. My PSU is a new Corsair 1200W so I think it's powerful enough.. Anyone who has an idea whatīs wrong or know some steps I can take now?

So I tried playing with the following commands: -ethi -eres -gser -dcri -lidag But with 6 cards the rig always crashes within 10 minutes. The only thing that works is the command -di to disable 1 GPU. Rig is running very stable for days with 30MH/s each with 5 cards enabled. Anyone with an answer?

For multi-GPU systems, set Virtual Memory size in Windows at least 16 GB: "Computer Properties / Advanced System Settings / Performance / Advanced / Virtual Memory".

Your PSU might not be powerful enough or maybe something is wrong with it.

For multi-GPU systems, set Virtual Memory size in Windows at least 16 GB: "Computer Properties / Advanced System Settings / Performance / Advanced / Virtual Memory". Yes I did. Also tried 48GB because I read somewhere you should take the same number as all your GPU ram's together (6 x 8GB). To be honest, to me it still sounds like a PSU issue. Your PSU might not be powerful enough or maybe something is wrong with it. Okay thanks, guess I'll try to power one GPU with the PSU from my normal PC.
