Topic: Issues with my new mining setup! Seeking advice - page 4. (Read 2434 times)

I don't use an activated windows 10 and run 8 GPU's just fine.  So you never did mention if you disabled everything in bios and made sure everything was set properly.  You should really look up the settings you need to activate/disable as they can hog up pci lanes that could contribute to the error you have.

Hey bro, yes I've already performed these checks however since you mentioned it again I just checked again, all 3 cards work in 16x slot, and each one of the risers work fine and boot into windows visually no problems.

I am debating to do a fresh install Windows 10 as my last resort to see if there is something wrong possibly a corrupt registry file in the OS. Other than that I really cant think of what else I can do to resolve this issue.

One thing to note is i'm not currently using an activated version of Windows 10, I know this should only effect the personalised options and I wouldn't expect it to restrict the amount of VGA cards used.
I am not to sure if anyone else can confirm they use a non activated version of windows 10 with 2+ GPU's running fine can they?

Thanks again guys for your input if any one else has any more solutions please send them this way!!

So what you want to do is plug in each GPU to the 16x slot to make sure they are working and recognized.  Then when you know they are all working properly you test each Riser package on one GPU to make sure all the risers parts work.  Once you've established those are not the problem then you can dig around the BIOS and windows drivers.  Usually when there is an exclamation mark in device manager you can manually point the GPU to the proper drivers on your hard drive, which usually fixes it.

Hey man, I did have the factory BIOS in place originally and had the same issues, this is what made me flash the BIOS to the later version in the end but the end result left with the same problem.  


Hey, sorry man I don't quite get what you mean!  

Okay so I've just come across another issue, I  started to move the risers and around a bit and put them all in a different configuration and now only 1 GPU is showing! (The one in the PCIe x16 lane) Its bizarre, do you guys think its possibly a motherboard issue here? Or maybe the risers are the problem? Or is it because I installed the GPU drivers in the certain PCI slots originally?

EDIT: Re-installed the drivers when the GPU's are in the different PCI slots, all three now show however one still has the Code 12 error within device manager.

I would reset the BIOS to default and then only disable onboard stuff you don't need through the BIOS.

Hey dude try to install the GPU Drive in the picture your Motherboard can't read properly your GPU try it bro.......

Hey thanks for the reply bro, I've already tested this by changing the risers in multiple orders but the problem still persists, for some weird reason it just doesn't like having a 3rd GPU on the motherboard. I really cant figure out what the underlying issue is.    I've also tried fresh installing the drivers in safe mode multiple times thinking it would be software related.

EDIT: updated on a few posts below, appears to be issues moving the risers around.

Hey man, thanks for the reply, I've done some research into that and the Asrock PRO BTC R2.0 motherboard doesn't allow you to amend this feature, supposedly the BIOS is pre configured and designed for mining out of the box. (I presume 4g decoding is already enabled)

enabled 4g decoding?

Hi guys !

I have recently built a new mining rig over the course of the weekend however I have come across a few issues after installing the OS.

I currently only have a total of 3 GPU's (looking to add more at a later time) all 3 GPU's are fully recognised by Windows 10 however one of them states an error under device manager:
"This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system."

I've installed to the latest drivers, I've even tried moving the cards around on difference PCIe slots on the board however the issue still remains.

My main system specs are as follows:

- Intel Pentium G3260 3.3GHZ CPU
- Asrock H81 BTC PRO R2.0 Mobo
- 4GB DDR3 Hyper X 1866Mhz Memory
- 3 x Nvidia GTX 1060 3GB GPU's
- EVGA 1000W PSU
- 60GB SSD
- Windows 10 Pro 64bit (un-activated)

Other methods I've tried before resulting in posting for advice here:

- Flashed my motherboard to the latest BIOS.
- Increasing virtual memory to 16GB and even tried to look for the TOLUD setting in BIOS but I cant find that setting anywhere.
- Set the PCIe lanes to Gen 1 in the BIOS.
- I've also tried unplugging a GPU in different orders and when two are running together the Code 12 message doesn't appear in device manager, however when 3 are plugged in and powered on the Code 12 error will appear on one of the cards.

All 3 GPU's are working as I've tested them individually. I've also tested the PCI risers individually and it appears they all work too..
Is it possible any of my system specs are being bottle necked somewhere here? Are the newer GTX 1060's to much for a LGA1150 system? Can't figure it out  

If there is a guru out there who knows how to resolve this I would be eternally great full as I've spent countless hours on trying to sort this out with no avail.  

Many thanks
