Cryptocurrency Mining

Nothing better than waking up to a dead PSU in the morning, Amazon return shipping here I come. Any recommendations for fast reliable shipping companies that handle everything for you?

How much does it work out to?

Another day, another issue with mining rig nr2. Really testing my patience...

Was running happily with 4 cards. Added two more and now logs are filled with above WHEA PCI errors. Anyone got this before? My gut feel is format, re-install with one gpu, do windows updates, install latest nvidia driver, and then add 1 gpu, restart etc?

Edit: Faulty riser? PSU issue?

I think that error relating to Intel chipset driver, update should fix it.

Forgot to mention that I have re-installed Chipset and ME drivers, as this came up first in my google searches last night.

Realtek Drivers??

Ill try this too....

Maybe just a fresh install will save me a bit of headache.

If that PC is exclusively used for mining it may help to disable audio in the BIOS.

Jup audio is disabled.

Now sitting with another issue. After about 30min of mining, the PC freezes, and the second PSU switches off...

I have 2 x ANTEC 700W PSU's connected with a Add2Psu adapter. On RIG1 it works beautifully. So don't know if my issue is still software or maybe hardware. Got the second PSU yesterday and added to RIG2.

Will disconnect all the cards and do a clean install, update everything and see whats what.

just curious, what are the symptoms of a faulty riser?

EDIT : RIG2 is using Biostar TB250-BTC motherboard

Had the same issue on the tb250 board. The whea log error never disappeared even after updating the chipset drivers etc. In my case it was my psu. I used a corsair ax1200i on the rig which has virtual single and multi rail settings. I had to push up the amps per rail as I ran 2 cards on a dual 8 pin cable. By default the psu limits the amps to 20 per rail and if it goes above that it would shut off. Perhaps your psus are similar?

These guys beat all other online retailers hands down IMO. Not perfect but you'll never complain about support.

How much rigs can one run at a house with normal electricity? And from a single room? Does any of the circuitry/breakers need upgrading?

Depends on how much your rig will pull, give us more information.

Once the Vega GPUs hit the market at an acceptable MSRP and selling price by the retailer, some will have it hard to sell their hardware to breakeven or to turn something other than a loss.
