Title: Would appreiciate some help with my 280x mining rig Post by: prowler9 on January 28, 2014, 04:59:24 PM Ok so im having problems, when i plug all my cards in 2 280x gigabytes which go into my motherboard, while 2 of my 280x asus are in the risers
i get it to run on cgiminer for 30-45mins easily with 700Khz, but its only running for 30-45minutes before it turns off, and when it turns off i cant accept my internet anymore... the LED light on the internet port isn't lighting up and i cant remote desktop to it. i have a z87-G45, 1250W PSU (zelman plantinum +80), 2 280x gigabytes and 2 280x asus) could someone help me solve the problems that arises so i can happily mine without trouble shooting every single problem help would be much appreciated.

tried using just 1 graphic card i ran cgiminer and after 2 mins it would "turn off" and monitor wouldnt come back on but all the fans would still be spinning on the computer and what not... i really dont know what to do, have been at it for over a day now trying to figure it out Title: Re: Would appreiciate some help with my 280x mining rig Post by: leancuisine on January 28, 2014, 11:16:07 PM Perhaps you are using over the max capacity of that power outlet? Is your internet modem/router using the same outlet? Try moving some to a different power outlet on another circuit.

it would turn on you would see the CPU fan try to turn but then it would stop and restart the process until i restarted it manually or pressed the on button a couple times... Title: Re: Would appreiciate some help with my 280x mining rig Post by: prowler9 on January 28, 2014, 11:40:38 PM since all the restarting windows fixed my computer by going back to the earliest when it wasnt restarting and removed the drivers i installed for the 280x, now when i go to try to do AMD driver auto detect it shows up as "radeon hd 7xxxx series pcie"
which im using a R9 280x..... how do i install the proper drivers, windows doesnt think i have a 280x i think i have other bunk installed Title: Re: Would appreiciate some help with my 280x mining rig Post by: prowler9 on January 28, 2014, 11:53:46 PM while trying to install catalyst beta suite its like my computer powers down and the monitor turns off, but everything is still spinning, i keep getting this to happen. not sure what is going on
Help pls Title: Re: Would appreiciate some help with my 280x mining rig Post by: atp1916 on January 29, 2014, 12:21:56 AM Have you tried running just 3 280x? Are you undervolting? Are they stock volts 1.2ish? Which CPU are you using? I know intel, but which chip? Which OS?
A stock volted / stock clocked 280x under load will pull 275-300w minimum. If you are not undervolting i can virtually assure you 4 280xs + system are a bit much for any 1200/1250w unit, platinum or not. The odd power cycling issues you describe would appear to indicate your PSU is balking at the load. Generally, latest beta drivers / 13.12s + 2.9 SDK work well with the 280xs.

Answer the questions atp1916 asked, and follow his advice.i did, and really im just having problems with the graphic card prior to mining, Everytime i install the latest graphic driver and it restarts it turns to a black screen for 5secs and goes to windows, then when i want to go check system manager and see if they driver installed, it will freeze and crash and say that the display driver has stopped working. tried 6+ times now to do it, i think the GPU is faulty Title: Re: Would appreiciate some help with my 280x mining rig Post by: Wipeout2097 on January 29, 2014, 04:59:11 AM What were the settings you used on VBE7? Did you use the DOS atiflash?
What "Sensors" do you have on GPU-z? Could you post a screenshot while mining? The GPU may be faulty, yes. I have such a damaged card, locks up systems after a few minutes of mining. im using a undervolted cgiminer. What do you mean by this ?? |
