Mining with 10x RX580 on ethOS

Hey guys, I've got a problem.
Till 2 days ago, I was mining with 6x RX580 on a Windows 10 system with the H110 Pro BTC+ motherboard. We decided to buy 4 more cards since that motherboard supports up to 13 cards. Then the problems started. Windows could recognize up to 8 RX580, but with the 9th it started crashing (using the AMD Beta drivers for Blockchain). So then, I decided to try ethOS. Apparently ethOS recognizes the 10 cards, but using 10 would cause the system to hang on bootup. If I use just 9 cards it boots up, but then only 7 out of the 9 cards are working properly when mining, the other 2 just give 0 MH/s...
What am I doing wrong? Did anyone set up a system like this?
Using 4GB of RAM and an Intel Celeron G3900. The ethos is installed on a USB3.0 Stick of 32GB.

Fail to plan, and you plan to fail.

Use Windows Fall Creators Update + AMD Drivers 17.11.1 = upto 13 cards supported.

Are those drivers good for Mining? I got 30MH/s on each card with the Beta For Blockchain AMD drivers, while I was getting 24-25MH/s with any other drivers, that's why I decided to use those...
