Claymore Miner randomly stops mining.

[Crypt0addict]

I'm mining ETH+ DCR with 6 RX580 and my miner randomly stops mining. I'm using latest version of Claymores miner.

I get this error.

Me too, already 1 week my Claymore gone unusual, it went restarting randomly, but i dunno what happened. Same thing too when i switch to mine ETC.
Would be gladly if someone can tell me what happened and how to fix this.

Same thing here. Works fine using PhoenixMiner.

if increasing the voltage / decreasing clocks does not stabilize GPU3?

Can you dual mine on PhoenixMiner ?

Hmmm, will try that. Thanks.

The error comes from GPU3. First try running the miner with GPU3 disabled and see if the problem continues. To disable a GPU use the -di option in claymore. If it doesn't happen again then we are sure the problem is with GPU3. Try to run GPU3 at default core clock and memory clock.

Adjusting the power limit up can also help. The most common reason for a GPU hang is too little power or too much overclock. What I do when a GPU hangs, in order until it's stable is:

1/. Increase the core/vram voltage by 50mv.
2/. Increase the power limit by 5%
3/. Decrease the core and/or memory clock by 50 MHz

The first two may increase the GPU hash rate, power consumption and heat. The last will decrease the hash rate.

you may also want to consider and try to replace the riser used in GPU 3, more often risers are the culprit, I have those extras on the pocket once I need it.

What i did is, i changed GPU slots. I plug GPU 3 in slot 4 and GPU 4 in slot 3 just to see will it now be problem with GPU 4 because i changed GPU 3 position.

Half hour later again problem with GPU 3... So now i know it's not problem with GPU or riser.
Only thing now is left to play with adjusting the power limit...

Can it be that my motherboard GPU 3 slot is bad ?

[Vann]

It could be a bad connection between the x1 PCI-E connector from the riser and the slot or the USB cable. Make sure the connectors are pushed in well or try replacing them. Normally that would cause the GPU not to show up though.

I decreased core and memory clock and for now it's stable.
