I am having a problem with my miner that has come out of the blue, and I was wondering if anyone here could help. It has been running without any problems for months, with the exception to a few hang ups which were resolved with restarting windows. And now it gives me a BSOD, or wont recognize having a 4th R9 380, and gives me a BSOD with a stuck thread in driver. Here is what I have.
My rig:
Biostar H81S2 MB
8GB ram
Intel Celeron processor
250GB Sandisk SSD
EVGA 1300 G2 PSU
4 x Saphire Nitro R9 380
1 x XFX R9 280X
Powered ribbon risers
Windows 10 update 1607
Current radeon drivers (windows now wont let me run Claymore 7.4 with 15.12 drivers)
TLDR: I did a complete wipe of the system and reinstall of everything and windows hates having a 4th R9 380 installed. Doesn’t matter which one. BSOD Thread stuck in driver. Rolled back updates, same problem. The rig has magically decided that after months of running that 4 R9 380s doesn’t jive.
The Problem in detail and things I have done to try and resolve it:
Early Friday morning the rig went down, so I do what I normally do and restarted it. I got a blue screen of death (BSOD). It stated that there was a stuck thread in a driver. A few restarts later and same thing, windows couldn’t fix it. So I pulled all the cards with exception to the display card (R9 380). Starts up just fine.
I attempt to launch Claymore 7.3, and it doesn’t make it past card detection. Windows then informs me that exe has suddenly stopped working. So I upgrade to Claymore 7.4, same error. I update to the latest catalyst driver and that lets the miner start.
I then shut down, and install the next card (R9 380), let windows recognize it, run the miner to verify. It works, so I shut down and install the next R9 380. Windows recognizes it and the miner works with 3 R9 380s. Shut down, install the 4th, and get the BSOD, thread stuck in driver and windows cant resolve it. So I shut down and back it down to 3, and everything works again. Shut back down to install the 280X. Windows starts and recognizes the card, and the miner works.
So through trial and error, I am able to determine that it isn’t the card. It runs with 3 R9 380’s (I switched them around), when I install the 4th it gives me the BSOD with stuck thread. I have tried powered USB risers, and switched ribbon risers around, same problem. It magically hates any 4th 380.
I did another fresh install of windows with no updates and I still get the BSOD with attempting to install the 4th. No idea what to try, any help?
