What is your MOBO?
did you set your bios chipset for gpu and set it all to gen1 and make sure you are using the latest driver for your cards. 
 i am using windows 10 1709 and 6 graphics card they are running fine as of now.
Also don't forget the 2 molex cable to put it near PCIe(if you using h110 btc pro)

Newest nvidia drivers.

1709 works well with RX GPUs but not with my Nvidia and I don't know why?

It ever happen for my rigs as I updated to fall creator version. In my case, it's just caused by driver did not recognize some GPU, I check every single section in device manager to find where the rest VGA and update the driver for each of them.

My suggestion would be to DDU to remove all existing NVIDIA drivers. Choose the "shutdown after uninstall" option then simply turn on your computer. If still not detected, i would start by first plugging in only 1 GPU, then 2, then 3, then so on. You can start installing the drivers once all your GPUs have been detected. Good luck.

shutdown the rig, fully discharge the motherboard, and then switch on, let the system automatically update the drive
I use 1709 and it is stable

I already done every single thing that you guys said.

I sucuseed to make that 1709 working. But I don't know how...


After instaling 1703, i install 1709, restart 5 times and start install of Windows and than I canceled that installatio and with some voodoo magic 1709 now works...

Why it works? I don't know...
