Title: The Black Widow problems
Post by: Dilemas on October 04, 2014, 03:45:48 PM
Hello there,

I have some serious problem here. I today instaled zeusminer software to my PI. im using PSU that is capable of 650W (Corsair 650W VS series). I plug everything, and after minute or two, my BW and PSU starts to slowly down till they stop (while the power is turned on) they just dont work.

In my status window I see many Hardware errors, sometimes they go near 98%, after each Accepted share next goes rejected share.
In zeusminer i choose 64 chips and 328 frequency.

What is wrong and where?http://s11.postimg.org/8a2y01tgz/ssss.jpg


This is where i was using minera software, my MHs were near 300MH. and then they just start to slowly down when they stop, after minute. is this overheating, overloading problems?

I don't know this product but hardware errors could very well come from overheating.

What I also would look at is how many rails your PSU uses.
It might use multiple rails thus might not have enough power for your miner on the rail you connected it to.

Just checked it looks to have 1 12V rail with 50A. So this should not be the source of the problem.

But what is causing these problmes? maybe my BW is bad?
I bought from ebay, seller stated that the BW was new.. yeah it came with box and all the stuff like new..

I just dont know what to do more..

You can always ask on hashtalk, maybe somebody there had similar problems.

after each Accepted share next goes rejected share.

I had the very same thing with a hurricane x3. Sorted it with another usb cable. As I was getting connection errors. It would just slowly count down to near zero then stop.
Hopefully this might help.
