If this has already been solved, please direct me to the correct thread, I've spent the past 2 hours looking for a solution with no real luck.
I recently acquired a ASICMiner (Block Erupter) Cube. I managed to set it up fairly easily using Dogie's Guide on this very Forum. It's happily mining away except for one problem.
It seems to reset itself every 1-2 minutes. This is reducing the effective hash rate to about 40% of what it is rated, since it seems to take about a minute for it to come back online.
At first I thought it might be thermal related, so I pulled the cards out and tightened down the heat sinks, still restarts.
Next, I thought it might be that the power supply might be overwhelmed. It's using a Rosewill 450W capstone. I took out my multi-meter and monitored the voltage and it seemed like a steady 12.18 volts. No under voltage that I can see, that and the fact that it can run on the high clock settings for about the same amount of time makes me think it's not a voltage problem. If it can source 280 watts for a minute, 200 watts should be no problem.
Anyone had any luck with this problem? I read in another thread that people saw the clock rate resetting to low, which I'm guessing is their cube resetting like mine does. My next step will be removing the cards one by one to see if perhaps one of the thermocouplers is faulty and shutting down the cube as a safe guard.
Thanks a head of time!
