Hi, i have a HASHFast Golden Nonce 768 GH/sec 28nm ASIC, it should be able to do 768 double SHA256 per clock cycle. The setup has a raspberry p1 as a controller with minepeon. It stopped performing suddenly, like two years ago. The owner wants to use it, because he doesnt have to pay for consumption.
It used to run fine with only a --hfa-hash-clock 678 even 720 setting. Now it only works without errors with a value lower than -hfa-hash-clock 330
Tried it with the old MinePeon that it had, Version 0.2.4.3hf8 with cgminer3.9.0h2. Also tried the latest minepeon img it has the same problem, but on lower hash clock around 250.
So the hashfast restarts every 2 minutes and has ~40 Gh/s. Marked the restart event with red.

And sometimes all it does just gives this error messages until it restarts
