Hi R0mi, thanks for linking the page. I've gone through the page and can still only get five out of the six Vega 64s working. Same situation, I get five running and when I try to add the sixth I get the BSOD. Ideas? Windows 10 updated. Ideas?

i wasted 4 hours to this yesterday

on a z170 msi carbon gaming, i can only get 5 vegas running then i add a 6th and BSOD.. BUT i can get 6 running vegas running with a rx480 in slot 1..

I've got four on there right now - no issues. Ordered another 2 vegas last night so we'll see if I can get 6 running, seems the more you add the more issues people have.

Be aware this board requires three additional power connectors. 2 molex and 1 sata and supposedly three different cables. Though, from what I've read you can skip the extra sata, and use one molex to power both additional molex's on the board. That kinda caught me off guard.

this worries me, keep us posted

I can get it to recognize all 6 vegas. However, it gives me error 12 on one of them and I cannot determine why the 5th doesn't run. It's very frustrating. I followed the guide but I am only pulling about 1450 h/s right now on each card.

redNow suggest 16GB per Vega in your System's Page file. Have you tried that? What is your page file size?

Im running 120 gb virtual memory.

First go setting it up.

Hashing XMR on three vegas at 5982 with one PSU (with 2 vegas) at 380W. Which seems really low (The watts, not the hashrate).

I'm going to add the fourth one on shortly. But pretty happy with the initial results.

What settings are you using? I have 4 going now at 5700 h/s pulling 1070w at the wall. I haven't messed with softpowerplay yet so I am wondering if that is what will make the difference for me.

I think you have to do the softpowerplay reg mods- i haven't done any bios flashes. Did you use overdrive to adjust clocks and volts and fan speed? So far four vega has been good to go - each 750W (2 vega on each) is only pulling 350-380W, so about 750W total for 4 vega at 7900mhs.

I ordered 2 more vega, so will see if i can get 6 going at once, though I will also need another psu...

It seems to be risers that were making things difficult. I was about to order some new ones and then I remembered someone saying they just switched them around and got them working. Here's what I did:

1. clean install of windows in UFEI bios mode with all 6-cards plugged in
2. updated windows and all components including gpu drivers
3. paused windows update
4. used amd cleanup utility
5. used DD clean in safe mode
6. installed blockchain driver one card at a time in 16xpcie slot (two restarts per card)
a. if a card did not behave, this is where I tried another pcie riser until the card worked.
b. i then used what i thought was a faulty riser board with another card and all worked just fine (can't make heads or tails of this, but it is what it is)
7. I then plugged in each card, let it install and rebooted a couple of times.
a. this worked up to five cards. when installing the 6th and final card i get the BSOD.

It was stable running Cast-xmr and xmr-cpu, both overclocked and undervolted overnight. I shut it down this morning to work on card six.

Geez... is everyone having to go through these same hoops? I'm just about to install windows. Was going to do as much as I could with the VEGAs not connected (in the comfort of my living room) but if I need to install with all four vegas connected, I need to up and move to the garage...

There isn't any need for pain.

Here is a very decent overview guide, but it is tailored towards XMR-STAK. With minimal tweaks to the "StartMining" .bat file, you can get the same automated setup to run with Cast.

https://vegamining.blogspot.co.uk/

And here are some screen shots I took which may or may not help your setup:

https://imgur.com/a/fuXns

One of my Vega rigs is on a MSI X370 and I am simultaneously mining away with the Ryzen cpu using XMR-STAK-cpu. The other build is Intel using an older MSI Z97a board that I had.

Both are very stable at this point.

My experience: install all the Vega cards at once before installing the driver.

Go online to Microsoft and download the Fall Creators Update, which is free. I was stuck at 3 cards until I did this update. Working well for me, YMMV.

Do set a very large System page file.

I just started and following the blogspot walkthrough. Just did the software reg edit.

About to install the XMR miner Stak - any reason to use another?

Only have 3 of four cards setup right now - I somehow just realized I have a fourth I need to add in. Nerves!! Lol

You should be fine. If you get the three stable, add in the fourth. Visit the Imgur link first and glance at that.

After I connected it nothing would recognize it. Reinstalled the AMD drivers over top of existing and that seems to have fixed it. Hashing at 7800 at ~750W total. Ordered two more VEGAs!

Think I just found your problem.

Can you not split virtual memory? If that's the case woukd it be better to switch everything to the 150gb even though it's an old one?

I would try switching over all virtual memory to the 150GB drive. I think splitting VM is causing your errors. But try it and see.

I was looking at your guide and every time I disable and reenable card 4 it shows back up with a code 43 error. Oddly enough card 5 also shows up with a code 43 error when I disable and renewable card 4.

It's not my guide; the imgur screenshots are mine, but not the blogspot.

You need to provide more detail. It sounds like you are disabling/enabling manually, which is fine starting out, but you will want to automate that when you have everything working.

I assume you have Windows 10, I assume you went to the Microsoft website and downloaded/installed the Fall Creators Update. I assume you have set your system page file to a very large value.

How much physical RAM in your system?

If you ever had Nvidia cards on that motherboard, use DDU to strip out Nvidia driver stuff.

Take a look at the imgur screenshots that I posted.

I followed the imgur pics and set all the crossfire and ulps settings to 0. I have windows 10 fall creators edition I have 8 gb ram. I can get 4 cards out of 6 running although not optimally yet. 1 keeps telling me it's a code 12 not enough resources and the other says its working properly but overdriventool and claymore do not recognize it.the enable and disable issue has stopped. Never had an nvidia card and I ran did before starting the guide.

Go into Device Manager.

Go to View menu: Show Hidden Devices.

For any display driver that is grayed out, uninstall it.

Do the same for Monitors, then check under System. If it is grayed out, uninstall it.

Restart.

I've never seen code 12 while installing Vegas, so I don't know what you are hitting.

What size HD/SSD? And what is your System Page file set to?
