2 Mining rigs. 1 perfect the other freezing every 10-12 hours. Please help!

[faourmining]

Hello, I have 2 mining rigs that are exactly the same, one of them is working perfectly fine but the other one just randomly freezes every 10-12 hours and stops the mining. I don't know what can be the problem. If you guys have any solutions please help me out!




My Specs:
GTX 1070 (12)

Asrock 110 Pro BTC+

8gb ram

2 1300W PSU

Hey, there is no simple solution, as always in electronics, you have to test a lot of things

In my experience, the most problems are caused by riser cable and overclock

You will have to test cards without overclock, try to change the risers, check the log of your miner, maybe you will find what card is giving you problems

Check if you system made some update, sometimes windows 10 make updates and mess with the whole system

And keep looking if nothing solve the problem

Check if you have enough virtual memory, check your cables, maybe you will have to format...

One of the rigs could be overheating explaining why it would mine for 10-12 hours then all the sudden freezing.
Because you said the specs were the same for both rigs so it could just be the environment they are in are different.
But as the other member mentioned you need to test the parts you installed on system which is having issues with it stopping to mine constantly on a regular basis. It could be a bad stick of ram or a driver issue. If it is running off a hard drive maybe try installing a linux based os just for mining on a usb so to take this possibly of it failing at that point out of the equation.

What rdluffy said.   In my experience, it's almost always the clocks or some kind of an odd windows conflict after an update (particularly for modded bios...).  Check cable connections & general maintenance on the rig (dust), then DDU wipe & clean reinstall the GPU drivers, and run it with stock clocks to see if the problem repeats.  If that doesnt fix the problem, start hunting for a finicky riser.

If you have such an opportunity, you can test it by replacing GPUs, risers, memory from perfect rig. And step by step you`d localize the problem.

Which Algo? Coin? Miner? Please Upload the log file from the miner? What OS (Windows, HiveOS, EThos)

Please give us a bit little more information.

Swap the power supplies from the good rig to the bad rig.

See if the problem follows the power supplies.

If it does the problem is a failing psu.

If it stays then all the power supplies are good.

So let’s say the problem did not change and follow the psu.

Go to the bad machine and drop all clocks and watts on the machine.

Say it is smos.

That has watts ram core setting.

Drop them all and see what happens.

A miner work is never easy... seems to be easy, but only when doing it you realize how much work is needed...

have you been able to see what shows on the screen just before freezing? Any error? Any GPU with odd values?

In my experience this kind of problem is usually caused by riser cables (that need to be tested one by one).... riser cables are mostly to blame for everything that happens on your rig  

or maybe you did some kind of excessive overclock?

in the end, you can also try to switch the RAM from the good to the bad, or try the PSU as other user suggested...

Also double check your OS settings, especially if Win10. Is powersaving on? Increase virtual memory, turn off updates, check Defender is not causing trouble.
But to be honest the list of things is huge - could be an internet issue, wifi?, could be OS, could be risers/psu or overclock. Might be RAM or something more annoying, but usually it's OS/clocks as peeps have said.

Hey OP, did you fix your rigs?
You just post a question, keep us updated
