I have searched this site and the web and have yet to find a definitive answer, if there is one? I apologize if this has been asked.

 I have 2 A9 Zmaster machines running. One is currently set to factory, the other to Performance --. I am using Bitmain Psu's. One has the latest firmware, the other has Sept. 11th. I am getting a larger number of HW errors across all of the cards. The machine delivers the advertised hashrate and above. That is not the issue. What I have noticed is that after 4/5 days the machines will start pushing upwards of 5k in hardware errors and then just drop off of the network. I am not able to remote in and they have to be manually powered off and restarted and they mine fine but start accumulating the HW errors again. Basically restart every 4/5 days. From just observing daily, I am assuming they are just running out of memory when the drop as free memory gets very low.  I use awesome miner to monitor these as well as my other z9 mini's and Gpu rigs. The z9 mini's run without issue and no HW errors.

 I currently mine Zen on Super Nova but have tried, Zhash pro as well and Flypool for Zec. I did reach out to Inno and they said it was perfectly normal and of course they suggested their pools to use for best results. I dont find it normal to have to restart these devices every 4/5 days.  Just looking to see if others are experiencing these issues and if so have found the cause and possible a solution

Thanks in advance.
