Hi guys,

Sorry if I am posting on the wrong section.

Below is my set up.

Asus Prime X370 Pro Motherboard - with the latest bios update
AMD A8-9600 processor
4GB Ram
3 x GTX 950
1 x GTX 1060
500W PSU x 2
Win 10 64 bit

I have not overclocked. The only changes I have done are to increase the fan speed.
I am able to mine with 2 GPUs. All my problems come when I try with 3 or more.
I am facing a few issues with my setup.

1. I am unable to get all 4 cards detected. I have confirmed that all risers and cards are working.
   I have changed the PCIE lane to 2x. Disabled on board audio in bios.
   Apart from these changes I believe that the mobo doesn't provide any more additional things to changes. Am I overlooking something?
   At max I am able to get only 3 GPUs detected. Is this because my CPU is an A8 instead of a Ryzen? Could it be blocking out some PCI lanes?

2. Even with 3 GPUs when I attempt to mine, my computer freezes, the screen blurs out and restarts. I have ensured that all the latest drivers are on the machine. Happens with nicehash and EWBF. (Those are the only 2 I tried). Can't be a heat issue or OC issue. Could it be due to the PSU? I have plugged in a second PSU when I am attempting with 3 or more GPUs.
I have one of those wattage meters plugged in and even when mining with 2 GPUs it shows around 240 watts usage. So I doubt that the PSU is unable to handle a 3rd GPU. But I have the 3rd and 4th plugged in to a second 500w PSU.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

Greetings sir
Have you already installed all the cards driver? If yes then increase the power / wattage of the supply.

Hi, do you mean to change the PSU or change power given to the GPU?
If it's to the GPU, may I know how it is to be done?

All GPU drivers are the latest.

Got it sorted out.
Plugged in one 850W PSU instead of the 2 500w PSU it things worked like a charm.
Although why it didn't work with the 2 PSU's I will never know.
