Hi guys,

What do I possibly do wrong if my rig shuts down or freezes every 2 hours? PSU is 850w gold+ and draw is 300 from wall, only using 4gb ram, virtual memory set? or What is the cause of this?

Thanks guys

Do you use Windows or Linux? Did you check all the wires that goes into MOBO and GPU's? How many Gpu's are connected?

We need the complete, specific list of hardware you are using as well as a complete and detailed list of all software being used, this includes OS, mining software, drivers, monitoring programs such as Afterburner etc.... also specify if you have done any overclocking or undervolting etc... The more details you give the better your chance of getting help. The amount of information you gave in your first post is way too little to be able to give any useful advice.

Is it rebooting or hibernating? On some MB you have to disable hibernating or so keep putting your rig down every hour or 2. And so will Windows if that is what you are running.

Have you overclocked anything? What GPU are you using? What drivers did you install? Mine would also occasionally freeze/crash, the fans would still work at 100% I had set but everything else was frozen. Ignored the miner's recommendation for the drivers and installed the latest ones. No issues so far.

Maybe overheating?

Reseat your CPU.

if it shuts down every 2 hours like clockwork?
then that is a setting
 the first place you need to adjust or correct is you hardware starting in the bios
then to your OS
