Topic: Avalon hash rate keeps resetting, USB hub issues? (Read 1042 times)

I have this as well did you guys ever get to the bottom of what the problem was?

I have the same appearing in my logs 4 module batch 3

Not noticed this before in the logs and been running the machine for over a week so I'm not sure what's caused this to just start, I also have disabled wifi is it a case of a lose connection while doing cable management? What should I look at connection wise to make sure seems ok.

Hi All,

So I am seeing this appear over and over in the System Log, but my other Avalon boxes have no such problem:

I noticed that my box's hash rate started resetting to 0 MH/s and then climbing back up to 70 or so. It did this once before right when I first got my Avalon and I couldn't figure out why. I moved the box around a bit and the issue went away ever since.

Fast forward a month: I had to re-arrange some hardware recently and my Avalon ran fine for a day, then stopped hashing last night. I restarted it and then it ran fine for several hours. When I log in, I see the above in the logs, the 5 second average hash rate climbs up to the 70 or so GH/s then resets to 0 and repeats.

It seems to me that maybe I have a bad hub connection judging by the logs. Currently I have it set to run at 300 MHz, but it has no problems hitting 345 MHz and ran for a month just fine before I moved it around. WiFi is disabled, etc.

Anyone else experienced problems like this? How did you resolve it?
