When one card crashes the miner should not go to 0 MH/s and or would restart the card.

And when a card crashes I should still be able to connect with teamviewer.

It looks like the whole system freezes but the cards continue to run (740w power consumption)

I have no clue.. it just doesn‘t make sense.
And I need to set the msi afterburner settings manually after each restart, so an automated windows restart wouldn‘t help me.

I have msi afterburner saves the settings for each video card and even after restarting it runs the saved parameters.
You need a monitor to test your farm. You can even use the oldest monitor like the SyncMaster 795, but you should see what is happening on the screen or nothing is happening there.
The whole farm may freeze for various reasons. This can be a problem in both the power supply and the video card, so you need to look for the problem using the elimination method.

I guess it has something to do with Windows or the miner freezes.

That would explain why there is still a lot of power draw and why there is no internet connection or why I can not connect with Teamviewer.

I already ordered a Seasonic Prime TX 1000.
Let‘s see if the system is more stable with more power.

In my opinion, you have two things to consider

You're pushing too much on your PSU, you're using almost 100%, it's not good, better to use at least 1200w PSU Gold rated
PSUs are better at 70 to 80% of load, you can use 100% but for short periods of time

Windows 10 have some issues and if a card crashes, this card will go back to default values, and if you are using 840w with underclock, the moment your card (s) go to default, it's pushing more watts and your PSU will turn off to protect itself

Another solution is to use HiveOS, it's way better than windows 10, more stable, and with the new updates, you can fix the core clock for Nvidias RTX 3xxx and consumes less power, and become even more stable

I know the PSU problem. But it is rated for 850 output which is more like 900 atw. And seasonic has some beefy buffers. They say there PSUs can handle 10-15% more than officially rated.

But even if it shuts off then the whole pc would turn off or restart.
I don‘t start the miner automatically on restart- so the system should not use 740w.
And if the system restarts I would be able to connect with Teamviewer.

You can configure Windows to restart automatically every 2 days.
But in practice, you need to look for the reason.
It is necessary to reduce the overclocking of video cards. Remove 1 video card from the farm and test. If after 2-7 days a similar problem occurs, then remove another video card, and replace it with the one that was removed before.

Hey guys,

I have an ETH Miner running with several RTX 30xx cards.
I run t-rex Miner on Windows 10.
I have no monitor plugged in, just teamviewer to monitor the rig.

It usually runs perfect for 2-7 days and then it „crashes“.
But I can‘t figure out why.

The system has 840W power usage atw and I run a 850W Seasonic Focus GX850 on it.

So every 2-7 days I get a message from my pool that my rig went offline.

When I get this message the System reports 0 MH/s and it uses 730W atw.
But I can not get access via Teamviewer. It will not connect me to the System.
The system will not come back before I restart it.

When I restart the system it will work fine again for 2-7 days.

So what‘s the problem?
- If a card crashes the miner would restart
- If the PSU cuts off there wouldn’t be 740W power usage
- If the internet went off the miner would restart after some time

I have no clue what else I should check.
