Topic: Onda D1800 and 6x Vega56: Windows barely working (Read 440 times)
hello, I allows me to post on this thread. maybe you can help me! I received my motherboard ondaD1800, I plugged everything in and then I pressed the power. The fan of the precesseur turns but I have nothing visible on my vga screen. it remains a dark result. I then recommenced the operation by adding a 2032 battery on the card (bios) nothing happens to the CPU fan running and the screen is black.
Okay - oh well. A Windows update breaking things. How unheard of!
As said, no massive deal as it doesn't seem to impact mining performance at all. Just a bit of an annoyance when I need to tinker with the rig for whatever reason.

Out of curiosity, is it possible to install Windows 10 Pro and running it without registering it, just like you can with the home version?
Yeah in currently running one machine still not registered with no issues so far, been running for a couple months now.
Mike, I had the same issue after installing a Windows Update and always thought it was that causing the issue. Eventually reinstalled Windows and didn't update and the issue dissipated.
This guy had a similar issue...https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.23534925

I have this problem occasionally too, with the Pro BTC Mb. When this happens the only way I've found to fix it is to use the AMD driver uninstall tool and install them again. Using blockchain drivers windows 10 6x VGA rig
Do 1703 Pro version.
Do Install driver AMD only, uncheck anything else.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. It definitely only gets sticky after installing the video drivers and I'm on 1709 so it could be any kind of combination.
I've been running the miner fine over the last few weeks so the stickiness and unresponsiveness of the UI hasn't impacted the actual mining. It's just annoying when you need to do stuff (updates etc). No big deal in the end.

I have heard Onda boards need some tweaking to get going, including downloading latest motherboard drivers

Just to be sure, driver for this board is somewhere there?
whats your virtual memory set to?
It was behaving normally until I installed the Blockchain drivers. Then everything in Windows became terrible. Click-latency. Start-button not working. Starting an app does not work until I right-click on the start button. Everything is extemely "sticky" and only starts whenever it wants to.
I've had this exact same stickiness on Win10 1709 with 17.11.1/2 and Rx 570's on an ASUS B250 mining expert motherboard, so I'm not sure if this is an issue with the Onda board.
In my case switching around/replacing a couple of risers helped solve the issue. I'd recommend trying to test the system with 1 GPU, then 2 and so on to see if one of the slot/card combinations is causing the stickyness.
I had the same problem with the start button and programs requiring right clicking to start and overall sluggishness on my 6 vega rig with asrock mobo. Wiped out windows 10 (1709) fall creator's update and installed win10 1607 with blockhchain drivers and everything has been working great. Uptime has been about 2 weeks+ mining 24/7 at 1970 hs per card.

I managed to flash it with the most recent bios but it didn't actually change anything to the Windows behaviour. Haven't found any drivers so far. Might try to look for them again...

If anyone has any ideas, I'd be happy to hear them.
I realise it's quite difficult to explain what's going on, but literally I need to generate a click-fest to get stuff to start. The actual start button displays the pressing "effect" (i.e. it darkens) when clicked on, but doesn't actually open the start menu. It's all very very weird.

So I installed my 6 Vega 56's onto that new Chinese Onda D1800 board, plugged in a 120GB SSD and installed Win10 onto it.

That behaviour only starts after I've installed video drivers (not only the blockchain drivers - the ones that Windows install automatically are displaying the exact same behaviour.
In some cases trying to start anything will result in an error message (Explorer.exe - System Call Failed).
Re-installing Windows does not fix it. The stickiness re-appears as soon as I get any video driver on.
I am able to run the miner software so it's not the end of the world... But trying to tweak, change things, testing becomes extremely painful, if it even works at all.
Anyone experienced anything similar? At this stage, I don't know if it's driver related, GPU related, Mobo related or a combination of all...
