I am literally almost bursting in tears here.. Why do I have AMD driver issues when trying to mine coins like Ethereum using Claymore for single mining. I have 5 computers and I get BSOD many times on all of them!!

Computer details:
OS: Windows 10 Student Edition
MOBO: H81 PRO BTC R2.0 (bios not flashed)
GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ OC RX 480 8GB (6x and flashed bios with the jukebox rom in silent mode)
RAM: 8GB Corsair
CPU: Intel 2.8Ghz (cheapest one I could get)
PSU: Corsair Platinium 1200W
Risers: USB and Cheap ones from China

BSOD Errors:
1. THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER
2. VIDEO_DXGKRNL_FATAL_ERROR

Many times, when I have an issue with the AMD drivers, I get to see this error or worse: ethereum mining gpu0 hangs in opencl call wait. The AMD drivers are being installed automatically after installing windows and running automatic update. When I try to install the newest AMD driver 17+ I get BSOD and my Windows OS has to restart to run an automatic repair procedure. When that happens, it gets stuck and I have to reinstall Windows 10 again...!!!

Can someone please help me here! I have spent over 2 days to fix this sickening issue!

I just had this when I was installing some new cards, after a few hours of trying I managed to get it right. Using DDU inside safe mode uninstall the drivers of all of your cards, then boot into windows and manually install the driver to each card. Im using 16.12, it works on all my cards very well.

Well, installing 16.12 did help me solve the problem! Now, let's see if it works for at least 24 hrs. Smiley
