I have two 2pak's running on a powered hub (fan cooled) to a win10 laptop.     One zombies a lot,  about every 3-4 hrs.    I have to shut them both down to restart them.

Any clue why one would do that and the other not?     Im running cgminer 4.10     I see many conflicting reports on newer versions so have been afraid to move to a newer one.    Would that be my issue?

From what i can find on the internet, it definitely shouldn't hurt to upgrade to a newer version.

A user that have had similar problems & their solutions:

Dealing with ZOMBIEs/OFF:
        ZOMBIE/OFF state occurs when chip voltage needs > voltage supplied.   
        Monitor usb port voltage drops, adjust frequency down and/or adjust potentiometer.
Might the amount of voltage your miners have access to possibly be the issue here?

Thanks for the reply !!
I should have plenty of voltage on the hub for more than just these two.   I have swapped ports in the hub, and still same.    I bought them separately,  and one was in sealed package,  one not.   

I see versions of cgminer on several sites.   For win 10 I have  have no idea what version I should upgrade to,  or what source site to trust.   ??

I have a voltmeter,  could use on unit and adjust potentiometer which I see,   but where do I put my test leads?
