RX570 GPUs installed but not recognized by miner I will give you 1 day of mining

[QuantMiner]

Add "-mode 1" to your Claymore config line.

Tried this but nothing..

For ethminer: do not use the "-U" switch, that makes ethminer use CUDA which is for nvidia cards only, instead use the "-G" switch which will make ethminer use OpenCL for your AMD cards.

Updated... still no go

What is the ethminer command line you used now, and what is the new error?

[SpceGhst]

To rule out a power problem, disconnect all your cards except for one.  If it still doesn’t work, I think you have an OS problem.

This is what I just used..
ethminer.exe --farm-recheck 200 -G -S us1.ethermine.org:4444 -FS eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -O 0x0fAea99B63369dc4eaeB50217e1DED7FDb91F551.Miner1

There isn't an error now. It's like the the program runs, but doesn't start mining.

Can you run the following command so ethminer lists out the cards it detects:

ethminer.exe -G --list-devices

[darkneorus]

make sure that your disk is using GUID Partition Table (GPT) scheme and Windows on your rig boots in UEFI mode (not MBR/CSM/Legacy). it makes a big difference.

I would start by checking that all GPUs are shown in the device manager under display devices.
If not, the problem's not with the miner config.

[SpceGhst]

Okay, you said in first post that device manager and Gpu-Z both see your cards.  Yet it appears none of the mining programs see them.  This leads me to think it’s an OpenCL problem.  What version AMD driver are you using?  Have you tried reinstalling the driver with a clean install?

Did you have Windows Defender turned off when installing miners?  Sometimes it will delete what it thinks is malware.  Compare the contents of original zip file to the files that are actually in the folder.

I find it rather strange that all the miners are just quitting without giving any kind of error!

I also have suspicions about OpenCL. If you look at the pictures I attached you will see that the check box for opencl is not checked, but when I look at information online other people have their boxes checked. Is there a way to install opencl on the drivers? I’ve never dealt with it so I’m unsure how to proceed. I’ve googled it but couldn’t find anything definitive.

[fanatic26]

I have said it a million times and ill say it again.

STOP mining on Windows. Run a linux based distro and you will find everything just works. No need to monkey with 6 different tuning programs, no need to worry about which of a dozen different drivers will work for your setup, no more reliability problems.

I reboot my linux GPU rigs maybe once every 3 months? I have dozens that have been mining away with 150 day uptimes.


www.getpimp.org <--- go look at this linux mining distro, it is the most flexible and reliably mining OS I have used, I have over 500 machines running it right now.

[SpceGhst]

Download AMD driver here:
https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/previous/detail?os=Windows%2010%20-%2064&rev=18.3.4

Install then reboot your rig.

[Anamaius]

If someone can help me get this rig mining I will give you 1 day of mining. Seriously, I've spent days trying to fix this. The first person who can tell me how to fix this, I will mine for you for one day.

I built an ethereum mining rig on Windows 10 that has an H270 Pro4 mobo, 4GB Ram, 120GB SSD, 850W PS, 5 RX570's. I can't get any mining app to start mining and it is driving me crazy. The cards are all recognized by the computer (device manager and Gpu-z), but none of the miners will start mining.

Here you can see the commands I'm running for Claymore, along with the device manager and GPU-z both recognizing my cards... https://m.imgur.com/a/3ai7Xir

This is the full output. As you can see there is not an error reported for claymore. I looked for a verbose option but didn’t see one.

I have tried the following:

1. Claymore 11.7 - EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethpool.org:3333 -ewal 0x0fAea99B63369dc4eaeB50217e1DED7FDb91F551 -epsw x -allpools 1
2. Ethminer 0.13.0 - ethminer.exe --farm-recheck 200 -U -S us1.ethermine.org:4444 -FS eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -O 0x0fAea99B63369dc4eaeB50217e1DED7FDb91F551.Miner1
    a. Error - No CUDA driver found
3. PhoenixMiner 2.9e - PhoenixMiner.exe -pool us1.ethermine.org:4444 -pool2 eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -wal 0x0fAea99B63369dc4eaeB50217e1DED7FDb91F551.Miner1 -proto 3
    a. No CUDA driver found

I (believe) I have set all required system variables, turned off microsoft features, set TOLUD to 3.5, made PciE the main graphics, changed the bus from Auto to Gen1/Gen2 and then back to Auto. I have also tried mining with only 1,2, and 3 cards (to verify it’s not a power issue).

Hey mate, had the same problem. What fixed it for me was going into admin cmd prompt and running dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth then running dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
hopefully that helps!
