Hello Guys,

I build a rig with the following Hardware:

CPU:      Intel Celeron G3930
Motherboard:   Gigabyte H110-D3A
RAM:      8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport LT DDR4-2400
SSD:      Kingston 120GB SSD
GPU:      6x Sapphire Radeon RX Vega 64
GPU Riser:   Kolink PCI-E 1x to 16x Riser USB 3.0
PSU:      be quiet! Dark Power Pro 1200W

I use Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit and have Problems to get it running with more than 3 GPUs.

- If I have CSM Enable in the BIOS i can Boot into Windows with more than 3 GPUs plugged into the Motherboard
- If CSM is disabled I don't even get a BIOS post, just a the rig running and a black screen

The Problem only occurs when I have the driver installed. So if I plug in all six GPUs wihtout the driver installed i see all of them listed in the device manager as a display adapter (unrecognized)

- If I try installing the driver with the AMD driver package, the rig freezes during the installation process.
- If I try to install the driver manually through the device manager, I can see how he installs and recognizes the 1st, 2nd and 3rd GPU after the 3rd is installed the "installation-progress-bar" and the whole rig freezes.
- If I install the Driver with only 1-3 GPU plugged into the Motherboard it installs the drivers smoothly without any problems or errors. If I try to add the 4th GPU afterwards and Boot into Windows the system freezes in the login screen every time until I unplug the 4th GPU again.

Here are the BIOS settings I've tried:
- BIOS Versions: F22, F23, F24 and F25
- Rig running on internal graphics (iGPU)
- CSM Enabled -> system boots with more than 3 cards into Windows
- CSM Disabled -> system doesn't post (system is running with only a blackscreen no post at all)
- "Mining Mode" Enabled / Disabled -> makes no difference
- "Above 4G Decoding" Enabled
- I tried enabling "Above 4g Decoding" after I installed 3 GPUs before installing the 4th GPU
- "Max Link Speed" Gen1 / Gen2 -> makes no difference
- Disabled "Onboard Sound Chip" and "Serial / Parallel Ports"


Here are the the things I've done and already tried in Windows:

- Installing Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit Anniversary Update and Creators Fall Update (created setup USB-Stick with Rufus)
- Installed Windows 10 in UEFI Mode -> with GPT partition
- Setting virtual memory to 60GB
- Disabled "Windows Update Service"
- Disabled "fast startup" in the power options
- Using AMDs Blockchain drivers
- Using AMDs normal drivers
- Using the AMD Vega BIOS Signature Check Bypass Patch

I'm glad about any help that i get

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.
