Thank you, everyone.
I saw today a few OP with troubled Rig giving full info.
Not because of this thread, I believe it. But I'm glad about this progress.

Thanks for the tip. Can confirm this works. After renaming the pixel patcher .exe to atikmdag-patcher-bios.exe, only the Bios patch option shows up in the window. Cool!   My pleasure.  Hello again, sorry from the late response, I was on vacation.
when I install the miner, the whole computer is freezing, and the only way to get it back on runnin is to get the power off and restart. have tried this several times.
earlier in this topic someone gave the tip to install the HD7970 driver after you installed the rx480, going to try this and keep you up to date.
if this will not work I will replace my energy 620W into a 750W, maybe that will work
How dare you, we are all here trying to help you, and you were on vacation. But it's okay, and you show us, sometimes miners need a vacation. |

Good post; hopefully a few people will read it before we have another "why no work mining? where lambo?" post.....
Thank's...when moon? 
Nice post! Would Merit if had any  Just send me BTC, it's more than enough. 
I gave you a merit for this good post. A lot of times some OP do not include the problem in detail and usually threads asking for help become longer and longer without reason as we that try to help ask them what is this and what is that in order to check where the problem might be. I think this post can be made sticky now that many newbies are coming in altcoin mining gpu rigs without knowing what they are really doing.
Yeah, that's what I feel. Tried to help, but finally, I become the one who asked. It's silly.
I will add to this. If you are mining, get a power supply tester. They are cheap and are available on Newegg and Amazon. You will save so much time if you have to troubleshoot your system if you have one of these. Also, if you have multiple mining rigs, consider having a spare power supply in case one shits the bed. Having one on standby means significantly less downtime if there is a failure, unless of course you live near a computer store.
Yeah, Testing tools needed and also devices spare (PSUs, RAM, Storage drive, even mouse, and keyboard). Nice, thanks.
nice post, dude.
+ a picture as long as can add.to make it easier to detect problems and solve them. because of describing a problem with a picture is better. and a bit suggest, if a problem was solved, better op(who has a problem) saying thank's and lock a topic its.
Good adding will add it to OP. Thanks!

I'm currently in the setup phase of a 6 card rig, but since things haven't been working I've just been trying to get Claymore to run with only one card, so power shouldn't be an issue. That aside, my psu is 1500w. I'm only doing ETH mining, and it does the same for dual mining mode.
Sorry didn't see clearly your log file. It's clear when you describe it more. Look like you need to re-download claymore (seems you need fresh one), and turn-off you windows defender or anti-virus (if you have it), just to make sure all of Claymore file safe (not moved anywhere). I did everything you said, including fully disabling windows defender and reinstalling Claymore but I still have the problem. Am I missing something? So, what else possible? have you check Risers? Or may try to plug your card directly to PCIe 16x without Risers? Or maybe you still run your cmd.exe (Command Prompt) in quick edit mode. Just check it, open your Command Prompt then right-click, properties and make sure uncheck quick edit mode. |

Increase virtual memory (Pagefile) at least to 16GB, greater would be better (adjust to your storage capacity).
It is currently 16gb -Snip- I've checked defender and nothing is listed there. I've reinstalled my drivers. I reset my GPUs back to stock bios and oc settings. None of them worked. At this point I'm thinking it might be a problem with the card unless there is something that I am missing. How much your card by the way? And tell me about your PSU wattage. I suspect it's a power issue. Does this trouble just happen when you do dual mining? |

It is currently 16gb Then you can be tried what suggested by @sindikat above. Or may you can try to run your GPUs on stock setting. |

I often find OP ask for help with troubled GPU's Rig with a bit info they gave. Just tried to make it clear, that kind of post won't help. Applies to anyone asking about troubled GPU's Rig and tried to find the solutions. First, we're not a mutant with mind-reading ability, and we can't read your minds. Second, Troubleshoot isn't simple. Not so simple while you hit Enter with your foot finger. ...and many more reasons. So, please describe to us your problems as clearly as possible.
Describing your devices and software, including:- GPUs (including Series, Type, Brands, Memory sizes, Memory type, everything that you know about)
- Motherboard (including Series, Type, and everything that you know about)
- PSUs (including Series, Type, Brands, Wattage, etc.)
- Processor (including Series, Type, etc.)
- RAM/Memory (Including Sizes and everything that you know about)
- Storage Drive (Including type and whatever that you want to tell us)
- Risers (whatever, as clear as possible)
- Operating Systems you are using.
- GPUs driver you are using in the current situation.
- Overclocking Utility software (Including setting you are using)
Some people assume this info above isn't needed, but I can say for sure, it's essential things.
Describing your problems, including:- Your act that was causing this trouble, in other words, what you are doing with your Rig before you get in trouble. (If this trouble suspected caused by your act before)
- If this trouble comes itself, just describe to us as clearly as possible.
- What have you tried to do to fix that problem? Tell us as clearly as possible.
- Add pictures when possible.
Don't forget to Say thanks, when solved and lock the thread after.
Additional tips: If possible, provide testing tools needed and also devices spare (PSUs, RAM, Storage drive, even mouse, and keyboard).
Maybe someone wants to add more info required, go ahead. It now seems enough.If it's a duplicate post, I'm sorry! Just tried to make this forum better. Let's start with little things, if you don't care, Ciao Adios! |

I talked about this on jonnyguru forums and came to conclusion that using psus on near max load is ok if the cooling is OK and if the psu is high quality. So maybe in summer ill lower the load.
For normal uses it's fine. It would be different for 24/7-365. But I absolutely agree with "to keep PSUs cold", that's why I'm adding more cooling systems near my rig. I'm using Peltier since Air Conditioner isn't my options, lol.

I will replace this 1000 unit with a 1200 one so it should be ok.
that's better Regarding my 1200 units I suppose I should run them up to 1000-1050 input?
It would be safer and would keep both of your device (PSU and GPU) and another part also in good condition, at least for an extended period. I am running one at 1200 input -1100 output,, do you guys think the 1300 G2 from EVGA will be significantly better than my RX1200i from corsair?
With 1200 input and 1100 output, of course, you should choose Evga with 1300 Wattage. |

they all break when pushed hard.
Evga 1600 p2 melted running an s-9 doing 1350 watts 24/7/365 last 2 years 9 months
Seasonics
1200 plat
1000 plat melted
Evga 750 t2 died
Rosewill 1500 watt tokamak running at 1250 for 2 1500s
rosewill 1200 watt tokamak all popped caps with a boom running at 1000 for the 1200
fractal 1000 watt plat 90 days dead running at 800 watts all 3 of them
I have yet to kill about 15 corsairs but I have since learned and run them more gentle.
Wow...Phill You have a lot experience with many PSUs brand. Yeah, agree, whatever its brands, when pushing to the limit would break faster. And some brand has excellent durability when given a bit nor middle push, and the other would get a bit damage such as melted. |

Thanks man ! I will try it tonight.
So basically i just extract and than stop and go to device manager and locate that folder correct ?
Who are you then? Are you OP's alt account? Sorry, no offense. Back to the point. Yeah, that's what I've done with my rig that has the same issue with OP's rig. One other method that I know is copying a driver file to one different driver version but seems isn't working well for me. it wasnt me but anyway i sold all my rx polaris gpus and switched complete to vega...so my problem is obsolete glad to hear that. Good choice then you aren't made dizzy with the driver issue. Ah.. you are so lucky, sell old one then get the new one faster. |

OP - do it yourself, if you are using downloaded bios mod, possible you'll get in trouble. If you aren't familiar with manual mod bios, just use one-click version (like people above said). Even, if you are too lazy with one-click and you find someone that want to modify your bios, give them the original bios of your cards.

Using VPN would increase your stale shares. Like mentioned by a few people above, when you are using VPN, it would be increasing your latency to the pool server (assuming you are pooled mining). Most of your Shares would be late to pool server (we called it as Stale Share). It's goddamn good combo VPN+mining. And it goes without saying that both should be set in order and function well-enough. This review should help vpn reviewsTry it then go back here after. my base in China uses VPN to have access to nicehash, it is quite stable
NiceHash isn't mining pool, but they are a Hashrate marketplace. If you feel stable, may someone that renting your Hashrate will be troubled. |

I'm doing it with 16.9.2 and 17.xx. Mixing R9 and RX series, My R9 get the best performance using 16.9.2, but RX needs the newly driver.
Clean your driver, then install one of your drivers first, until the end of step will be better (but I don't, only up to extracting process). Then install the 2nd driver, up to extracting process only. It is the way to get a folder named "Packages" on each driver series.
Update all of your cards manually through Device Manager. Select driver version for each card in AMD folder on Drive C. Example, your RX 580 need driver (A), so select driver (A) on AMD folder, then select driver (B) for your Vega.
Blue Screen mostly caused by an incompatible driver or may driver signature check. So, if your cards have been mod, don't forget to patch it.

In the current situation, I agree with the suggestion above. Except you want to expand more setting with your cards. With more power space you can expand your cards setting, without worries.

yeah i am sing amd, so if i leave the hdmi adapter in the card even unconnected to a monitor and then try accessing it from teamviewer it won't shit the bed and drop to 0mh/s?
That's it. For new series like RX one dummy video output in one rig, it's enough, or straight to which card that troubled. For old series like R9 family, sometimes need a few dummy video output. |
