Hello i have an ether miner rig with 6 rx470 AMD cards and i have experienced a problem with the miner.  I want to use this miner to only miner ether when i open the ether-only file in the claymore miner folder it starts then says no AMD card available and stops running.   Can anyone please help me figure out what is wrong as the place i bought it from has stopped providing support.   I just downloaded the newest version of claymore miner and am a little confused on how to configure it.  I read the readme file and attempted to edit the eth-ony-start file to enter in my information but now it says no AMD card avaialble and stops.   I am very confused as I am ok with computers but this is technically a little over my head so any support would be greatly appreciated as long as it is in simple terms and descriptive on what i need to do, please dont assume i already know what you do when answering.  Thank you so much for reading to whoever helps me to the point where i actually get it up and running i will give them .3 ether.  I also have teamviewer and can remotely grant access to anyone who i trust to help.

The main issue is that Claymore is not able to detect any GPUs even if they show in Device manager. It's probably the driver issue.
1) Download the latest AMD 17.5.2 Beta Drivers and extract it in your rig. Don't install driver yet, just extract.
2) Go to safe mode and uninstall the drivers with DDU. (You won't be boot into safe mode if Above 4G Decoding is on so turn it off.)
3) Now, boot the system and manually install the driver by going into device manager -> update driver of GPU option -> Select a driver from disk -> and pointing it to the extracted driver folder.
4) Once all the GPUs are recognised, restart and make some changes to bios, i.e. enable above 4G decoding, set PCIE x16 and PCIE x1 link speed to GEN2.
5) Start the rig and power up miner.

-->> If you are having trouble setting up the bat file in claymore, just send me your eth wallet and I'll configure a bat file for you, you just need to place that bat file in claymore folder and execute it.

Thank you for the information, I am currently remote managing the rig from 2000 miles away using TeamViewer, is this possible using that? I do have a friend who can come restart the computer into safe mode and help somewhat but he know even less than me.  My ether wallet is 0xc564a582eCEa48151dB86c193b56E38B5fad1752.  I am having trouble configuring the claymore miner to mine ether and send it to my wallet.  A little confused on the setup as all i had to do when i got the rig was edit the wallet address.  I have been using ethermine.org   Thank you     
Also could i just download different mining software instead of claymore, will it work then?

-->> Here you go with the bat file customised with your eth wallet address: https://ufile.io/3xsfl Just place it in claymore folder and execute it.

Secondly, I am not sure but you can give it a try, try to boot into safe mode with networking on.

According to my experience, claymore is way more better-optimized piece of miner compared to anything else.
