I am assuming you were able to get it running.  I am now at this exact stall, but cannot figure it out.  Any insight?  I am useing 6 RX570, but after the 2nd one, i get no input.  Thanks in advance

Apologies if you are already doing this (I can't be certain about what you've already done from your post alone), but use the graphics card in the primary x16 slot (almost always the physical x16 slot closest to the CPU) for your monitor.

It's not an uncommon mistake for people to load up the slots one by one (with an x1 slot often closer to the CPU), thinking the top x1 slot will work for the display. Some systems will automatically detect which graphics card is connected to a display, but others require you to use either the integrated graphics or the one in the primary x16 slot (unless that slot is not occupied).

dear miners,

I set up my rig starting with one 290x xfx core edition, got it working and mining at about 880. Then proceeded to add a second one. When booting is lost signal to screen thinking it might have switch to the second card it switch the hdmi cable but did not work so i put it back in the first. I reset the system and all of a sudden my screen is back. Got them both mining.

Now i connected the third card after booting again no signal input. Started switching the cable again, even tried vga port on mobo but nothing seemed to work, reset it again and screen comes back with the hdmi in the first card.
Got to mining, then tried to enlarge the miner window and got a BLACK screen, rebooted but now no signal and i cant get it back. Tried to reset switch cables but nothing. When i turn system on, cpu fan is running as are all three card fans..


MOBO: h81 pro btc
pentium g3320
r9 290x
PSU: enermax 1350W
2x 4gb ddr3
60gb ssd

When running the first card I got an error in cgminer concerning the memory since there was only 1x 4 gb ddr2 inside, could this problem have to do with the memory or maybe PSU?
