Title: Blade keeps restarting, new version
Post by: jtkanpp2 on September 16, 2013, 03:04:17 AM
Hi there,
  I just got a new version blade and I can't seem to keep it running. I have fans on it for cooling and it is running in a cooled room. There is only 1 blade on a new 650wt PS on a dedicated circuit. Sometimes it will run for around 10mins or maybe only 2mins but then it may even go for 45mins. I never saw it go over 5-6ghz. I am running against a mining proxy for Slush's pool.   

Any thoughts?

In my (somewhat newbie) opinion, you've probably fudged up your power connector.  Follow these detailed instructions here...

And try making a new connector.

I honestly don't know what would make a Blade restart though except maybe heat.  But I live in Phoenix and its literally 110F during the day so it gets hot in the house even with the air on and I've managed to keep 6 Blades running but nothing but 140mm PC fans blowing directly on the heat sinks.

You may also want to check your network connection.  Don't do WiFi if you can help it.

Thanks I will rebuild my power cord and try again.

I found a fix for the download lots of work but submitting very little failure.

I had changed my router to a Linksys E900 expecting I want a most recent firmware for best thruput.  It worked for a while but then stopped with the very low share output failure.

I just changed back to my early 10/100 Linksys 4 port router and all is okay.  Works perfectly.

Yep, most likely a networking problem with these blades and cubes (I run several of each).  Network sensitivity is rough.

See my post here:

It applies to blades equally as well as cubes.
