I will fix it to run only 4 GPu-maximum. I read at that link you pointed out and this board was truly a pain in the ass. I will stick to TB85 of Biostar from now on. Enough I have played with Gigabyte, MSI and lastly ASUS. I need peace of mind. Thanks for pointing me out to that link.

Hi Der,

i am a victim of this Board, have 3 of them,

how many GPUs have you been able to run. every time i will go beyond 3, system wont BOOT.

I remember that on one fine day this guy ran 6 GPUs for about an hour but thats the end of story.

here is a thread where i have been discussing this MOBO, so please share any new findings on running Max GPU's on this mobo

I changed driver to 16.12.2 same thing, even when mining in Minergate same error, Default Radeon Watt have been restored due to a system failure. I have only 1 card running on a 700watt gold plus PSU so I think it's not a power problem. Same when mining in Nicehash Zcash and Ethereum happens.

When I use Sgminer 5.4.0 to mine lbry it works perfectly for many hours, 15 hours without a problem, while with Nicehash and Minergate it doesn't even start and when it starts it crashes in black, blue, or green screen. I think this board is the worse for mining.

What do you guys think ?

I set it up with G3900 celeron and SSD Kingston, 8gb ram ddr4 kingston and 700Watt power supply gold plus. I let it yesterday night mining in Nicehash and I see tomorrow it has not done any mining apart a few minutes and blue screen nothing else, Windows 10, not blue like blue screen of death but light blue screen. Driver is 17.1.1 crimson relive, only 1 GPU as I like to test with only 1 GPu at first.

Any suggestions except changing driver to 16.12.2 which I am doing right now but I don't think it's a driver issue. When not mining the PC even in stress tests perform really well so I know it's a mining problem.

Edit: Problem solved, it's a typical Nicehash error, sometimes blue screen, sometimes black screen, something is wrong. I have tried mining with sgminer 5.4.0 and it is working well from several hours mining LBRY but is not profitable mining LBRY with RX 480.
