1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v11.5 (Windows/Linux) on: March 20, 2018, 05:28:28 AM
Start at mining only one GPU installed in PCIe x16 slot, and set aside or exclude all other GPU's for the meantime.

If this runs successfully,  you may now install other GPU's one by one, from there you can actually troubleshoot which might be the culprits.

It maybe a Riser, PSU, Drivers, etc.

I can try that, but what will I learn?  The system runs stable for 24+ hours if I don't modify the GPU settings or if I modify the settings using Afterburner.  But putting those same settings in the Claymore config causes a crash on startup. 

Doesn't the fact that I can run stable with no GPU modifiers (or modifying GPU with Afterburner) indicate that hardware and drivers are working correctly?

I'm having a problem with a crash or lockup when starting.  I've tried 11.3, 11.4 and 11.5.  All exhibit the same issue.

Claymore runs great when I don't set any GPU parameters in the config file.  However, as soon as I add any clock or voltage adjustments to the GPUs, one of 3 things happens when I start the software:
1. BSOD with Thread Stuck in Device Driver error
2. System just locks up (no mouse movement or num lock), requiring a hard power cycle
3. It starts properly but eventually exhibits failure 1 or 2 after an hour or two.

When I say the problem happens with any GPU parameters, I've tested this by using all stock settings (the same that the GPUs default to when I don't set anything in the config), but I still have the problem.  So, the problem is not settings outside of a stable operating range.

The crashes usually occur after "POOL/SOLO Version", but not all the time.

I checked the logs but nothing stands out.  The logs look normal then just stop when the crash happens. 

I'm running a rig with 3xRX570 and 3xRX580 using the blockchain driver on Win10.

I've tried running -oldkernels 1, but that actually made it worse.  I couldn't start mining at all.  I always get OpenCL errors, even with no clock or voltage adjustments.

I tried -gser1 and -gser 2, but neither of those helped.

Is there something else I should be looking at?
