Hello all,
I am desperately need help for the situation I have right now, since there is no logic answer for what happened...
Here are my setting:
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
Ram: Vengeance LED 16GB
Mobo: MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBON
GPU: SAPPHIRE Radeon RX Vega 56 X 3, 2 on PCIE, 1 connect to PCIE via riser cable.
PSU: Toughpower Grand 1200 Watt
I upgrade from my old Alienware x51 r2, so I cloned the OS (Windows 10 Home) on the new SSD, and then update all drivers, everything works fine for ETH mining.
Since the OEM Win10 will expire due to hardware change, I bought a OEM Win10 Pro, and did a fresh install of OS with the Fall Creator update 1709. Everything was running until I started ETH mining again, and here are details:
(1) System can recognize all 3 GPU, and driver installation all went well.
(2) As soon as I start Claymore miner ver 10.00, within 3 - 6 minutes, the PC will have a hard shutdown, but the weird part is that the ram LED will still be on, and I have to turn of the power for at least 5 seconds in order to turn the machine back on.
(3) The PC will reboot fine, but sometimes the 3rd GPU will be missing and become other device in Device Manager, I have to uninstall from other device and reboot to get the OS recognize again.
(4) Another weird part is that once I reload the cloned OS copy (the OS I had from Alienware without/ with FCU1709) the problem is gone. But no matter which version of Windows (home/pro) I did fresh install, mining will cause hard shutdown, no exception.
(5) I loaded the cloned OS this morning again, and use Crimson balace setting for mining, within 5 mins the PC shutdown again. However, by using custom mode and lower the voltage and underclock, the machine seems running fine before I left for work.
Here are the myths:
(1) I am really not sure if this is a OS issue or hardware issue at this point, because the cloned old OS seems running fine without any problem, while any fresh install of Windows 10 (does not matter Home or Pro, FCU 1709 or older version) will reproduce the shutdown issue.
(2) Remove the 3rd GPU seems fix the problem in fresh build OS, but I noticed that after running over 24 hours, it will shutdown again, but I only tested it once.
(3) Not sure if it is an issue with the MSI MOBO, after installing the 3rd GPU I can't see BIOS screen anymore at start, under Legacy Boot Mode; I can ONLY have access BIOS by turning on WHQL mode in the BIOS. (Have anybody seen problem like this?)
Any insight will help, please!
