Topic: Is my Miner (GPU?) possibly dead? (Read 963 times)
Set the card back to defaults voltage/mem/cpu.
Quick question about one of my rigs (3rd one). Seem to have stopped working as of this morning. It seemed to have froze a few times when CGminer started. Which isn't out of the ordinary, It has happened before and a quick change in config values seemed to always fix it. I generally view it through TeamViewer, so after a reboot, I logged into teamviewer before CGminer had a chance to start. I changed some config values (values that are well below anything considered a harmful speed) and tried booting CGminer back up. Again, it froze almost immediately. Another reboot and I noticed it wasn't logging into teamviewer, so I decided to go to the rig and throw it up on the montior without the remote login. Well unfortunately, the monitor wasn't picking up on anything. Testing the monitor on my other rigs shows the monitor is in perfect working condition, so I have no idea what's wrong with it.
I've had issues before with miners. Blue Screens, Freezing, Crashes, nothing of which seemed to have any permanent damage, and no matter what issue I had in the past, a reboot and monitor connected always picked up a feed. Now since I can't even get a monitor feed I am curious if I may have fried this rig in some way that is irreversible. All the GPUs (specifically the one I plug into) all seem to be working fine from what I can visually take on them. Fans are spinning normally, no smell what so ever, nothing out of the ordinary.
I have average hardware experience, and did not build these rigs myself. All 3 of the rigs are of identical hardware, and this malfunctioning one was the latest of the 3 to be built (maybe 30 - 45 days old at this point). If anyone has any advice as to steps I can take to either confirm it is in fact fried, or anything I can do to get it out of it's 'paperweight' stage would be greatly appreciated!
Gotta crash for the night for work tomorrow AM in about 20 minutes. So I'll check for replies before then, but mainly will have a lot of time to deal with it tomorrow after work.
Thanks so much!
