I’m wondering if you’re having the same PCIe issue that I was having. Go to /var/log/ and open the syslog or kern.log files. Take a pic of it and send it to me.

I just want to see what the error is. Doesn’t matter if I see the whole log. I just want to see the error that’s being spammed in the log. Just a sample.

So something is definitely off here. Either you have a bad motherboard or bad risers. I’ve seen all kinds of weird problems on my mining machines from bad risers. Almost always is the USB cable itself being faulty. Not the riser board. Seti@Home classic workunits: 29,492 CPU time: 134,419 hours ID: 1969621 ·      Reply Quote
