Title: Help Vega rig will not keep getting BSOD
Post by: Bburns4667 on February 08, 2018, 06:42:05 PM
So I have a 10 vega 56 gpu rig. If I mineajyhong with clock chain drivers it freezes up thread stuck in device withon seconds of mining. Sometimes it might minefir a minute. I’ve tried xmr stak nicehash legacy and a few others it’s all the same.
I have fresh installed windows multiple times ddu drivers in safe mode and install block chain . It hashes well almost 2000hs a second per card at stock settings but then one random card drops and restarts the computer.

If I disable the other cards I can run one card no problem and it hashes away.
I have disabled crossfire.

My specs are
Windows 10 fall update
ASUS B250 Mining Expert
16gb ram
1tb hard drive for all the virtual memory I will need for hbm page file
And 9 vega 56 stock bios and 1 vega 64 stock bios  stock clocks everything

What am I doing wrong my nvidia rigs never miss a beat.... I’m so frustrated I have 10,000 $ of equipment not making a dime

Update I can get two cards running at once but once I put a third card no matter what pcie slot I use or riser or card tried various variations it always gets thread stuck in device random cards sometimes it’s one car others another

Wow stock clocks and getting almost 2K hash rate, even on the 56's?  AMAZING!

I would think that your problem is based solely on power and how you have decided to power your single rig. Bit more expensive but safer option would have been to power no more than 5 cards per rig, run with 1 PSU with the soft powerplay mod applied.

I don't think I have seen anyone try to do 10 vega cards in a single rig before, I have seen 8 done perfectly well.

Well done to you on the research before getting into Vega mining. ::)

BTW your title makes it sound like you want BSOD. So I guess its working as expected?

read the mobo manual, you can only run 8 AMD (ie Vega)

you probably have corrupted the visual C++ file,
vc_redist.x64.exe is the file to dnld for win10x64
