So you changed the risers and then the rig worked for 3 days without reboots. Then you changed the extension and it's rebooting every few hours? What exactly is "extension" — is that the power cable from the PSU to the outlet? Can you put the previous one back and see whether the rig is stable with that one? Just to make sure that it is indeed the cause for these reboots and not just a coincidence?

Yes, it is in between power strip and wall. However unlikely, tried that and still have the problem. Put it back and the frequency of reboots is gradually going down. I am down to 3-4 per day... Thanks

First of all i would switch to an Linux based OS. Then i would check heat on ALL components. Not only GPUs. After that i would check hardware. Risers first then ram. Reboots could literally be anything.

If you want any meaningful advises you'll need to at least properly describe your setup. After all this time you haven't even said what GPUs you run. Undecided There's plenty of reasons for any computer to reboot by itself, and even more so for a mining rig. Both hardware and software reasons. Unless it's something very obvious, it's unlikely that someone will figure out what's going on with your rig simply because you didn't bother to spend a few minutes and actually describe it. Cards, risers, PSUs, how exactly it's all connected together etc. All we know is that it's tb250btc and you're using 1000w and 500w PSUs one of which is an old Antec. That's like a riddle, you posted only a few clues and then you wait till someone will solve it by guessing everything else. Except obviously no one here cares whether your rig will keep rebooting or not. Smiley You're the only party interested in solving this, yet you don't even want to bother with providing all the details.

The usual suspects in problems like this are the risers, the power (both how it is supplied and with what PSUs), the GPUs themselves and the system (motherboard/cpu/ram). You start by swapping the risers. If it doesn't help then you check the power, install another PSU, check whether all the connections are alright (so there's no nonsense like 3 risers sitting on a single cable from the PSU etc). Didn't help? Change the board. If it doesn't help either then test all the GPUs one by one. That's how it's done in general, it's just with more experience you're more likely to find the culprit faster, but the process remains more or less the same.

 Try to speed up your fans more, not by one or two, above 80% and leave it like that for a few hours, but something is not right

Usually a pc will reboot if there is a faulty ram, over heating processor, overheating gpu, faulty power supply. You may try to mine with 3 cards first and then add additional 1 everyday until a reboot is experienced. You should always check for gpu temp and cpu temp, maybe your setup or the place where you place you rig has poor ventillation.As with the risers, that is one hell of troubleshooting to make. If possible, you may change all of the risers.

Can you answer few questions to determine your problem?
 
1.) What kind of Nvidia cards.
2.) Cards are overclocked or not.
3.) Specify raiser model or just add a photo.
4.) Specify diagram of wiring how all is connected together or add a photo.
5.) What kind of OS you use.
6.) Did you try to swap the risers.
7.) Did you try to connect only one card to the PCI-e x16 slot and run the mining process.
8.) The problem started at the first time when the rig was done or the rig was working some time and then suddenly started to restart.

I understand, especially about adequately describing rig. Let me put something together I can post with each question. Your time is much too valuable to be running down my problem piece by piece. Give me a day. I really do appreciate your help and this has been a great community!

Finally figured out problem (I think). Pulled all cables and one of the pins pulled out of a connector. Traded cable and glued back side of all connectors. Up for a day so far. One more day and I start tweeting hash rates. Thanks for all your help and I now have a system config I can post!
