Title: cgminer stopped working card going idle, declaring sick

Hello miners,

My setup is 4x 280x toxics with all connected with risers (1x -16x + powered).
For some reason cgminer stops working after a while (sometimes its 6 hours, 24 hours or even 36 hours). I get the message: Idle for more than 60 seconds, declaring SICK!. My khs is 750 on each card, and one card is 741. I use the same setting that I've been using with 2 R9 280x toxics. But after adding 2 more cards, I've been trying to get my rig stable but I dont get it stable.

I've used several settings here already for the past days/week.

My afterburner setting are
Core voltage 1163, it used to be 1131 stable (with only 2 cards)
Core clock 1080
Memory clock 1500

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://amsterdam.eu.stratum.dedicatedpool.com:3366 -u x -p x -o stratum+tcp://west1.us.stratum.dedicatedpool.com:3366 -u x -p x --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://zeit.scryptominers.com:3353 -u troj.1 -p 2 -I 13 -g 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8192 -s 1 -E 2 -Q 0


Anyone that could help me out or point me in the right direction?

Well, reduce the clock speed of the card that becomes sick ...
