I switched psu, used another thermal compound, reset the miner, it's normally clock at 180gh/s, Still problem not  solved. I would really like to know where these errors come from and what they depend on

I've had similar experience when I've tried to "overmine" per say. I had too much going at one time to where my GPU could not handle it. The cooling was a major issue as well.

I have also tried reseting the miner and updating the firmware. Clock is @ stock, 350mhz and I am still getting thousands of HW errors. I really would like to fix this, but I'm not finding a lot of info on the the web about it.

And what are Diff A and Diff R. 

Someone can suggest where I can have more info about this? To read something, charts or something else?

Hardware errors do not mean they will damage the hardware, and they have absolutely nothing to do with difficulty.
They just mean that they are running too hot, lower the clockspeed or increase the cooling.

sometimes they mean the power supply is failing.  you can also pull one of the 10 blades to reduce the load on the psu.

the s-2 has been known to be supplied with an under powered psu.

Yes, but it doesn't have anything to do with the ASIC itself, its not goong to burn and explode or anything.
Add more cooling and see if the hardware errors go down. If not, lower the clock and if not, check PSU.

Stratum difficulty is different than bitcoin difficulty.

Hi guys, I started to mine bitcoin a few months ago and recently I saw a lot of hardware errors by my antminers s1. Is this normal as the bitcoin difficulty rises? And what are Diff A and Diff R. I'm really concerned because these would permanently damage the hardware right?

Cheers
