Does it crash when you load the stock BIOS on it and run without any OC settings? Like just vanilla.

yes tried stock. no crash. dont remember the h/s tho

Cryptonight uses less power  ETH for me uses 78w on GPU1 and Cryptonight uses 58w

Probably in your Modding Bios, have you done Overclocking thru bios modding?

see this detailed guide and try to reflash

Lower core clock a little bit and keep the MEM OC.

Usually CryptoNight requires more power and requires lower clocks.


cryptonight requires less power than ethash.

Try Claymore miner or SGminer
For me it's more stable

I can mine ETH at 31.0 with this card but it keeps crashing with CryptoNight algo.

Ive tried Cast_XMR, XMR_STAK and XMRig and had same issue - I’ve also tried lowering the clocks 1100/2100 1100/2050 @ 850mV, i run ETH on 1150/2150 without issues. I get BSOD “Thread_Stuck_In_Device_Driver”.

anyone else had issues like this?

i can run the card using 1100/1950 but then i only get 650h/s

card is Sapphire RX 580 4GB Elpida

Ive tried:
- Redone BIOS
- Reinstalled Drivers [DDU]
- Increased Voltage

any help would be great

thank you
