Ouch, Looks like maybe the first case where someone has to find out if the warranty is good or not. Dead GPU already... That sucks! What is the process with PM to get support?
after restarting sgminer-gm.... the GPU shows up again (not DEAD).
I can only conclude that there is something not right with status reporting of GPUs - the GPU roms were already modded according to Eliovp.
Likely that ... maybe... temps was high and fans reported wrong readings resulting inconclusive results and sgminer-gm could not get stats from that particular GPU thus resulting dead status..... anyways I will surely keep an eye on the this GPU.
Also, I examined the contents of the mSata and found a copy on Polaris BIOS editor too... hmmm.... why leave it there if not used for something.
I bricked all 8 cards when an amd upgrade popped up. I lost all my drivers for all eight cards.
I booted with the restart option and everything was restored.
I am not a software guy but the os on the panda is sophisticated in recovery mode. a good thing.
I still want the linux and I think I would keep my panda miner master sitting off in a little box just incase the linux master had an issue.
right now the zec miner works best really stable and I was able to upgrade from 9.1 included to 9.3 claymore.
the eth crashes every 3 to 5 hours.
I can not fully view the cards or the card temps but I do know the watts jump from 1050 to 1150.
So I have to think the gear from the factory while good gear is only okay software.
It would be nice if panda miner simply paid for the linux and put it in all miners.
At the moment my miner is happy doing zec. and my miner was provided up front to me. I did not pay but agreed to pay for the miner when I fully tested it. So it passes on zec and fails on eth .. I will test xmr and other shit the next few days.
I really urge panda miner to allow the linux developer to put the miner out there for buyer and to allow say ½ of the 2180 I owe panda miner to go to the linux developer . This is a win for everyone.
panda miner gets a good software.
little guys get a good flexible miner
the linux + driver + rom builder gets some coin in his pocket.
Once again I could use a good translator to help here.
Please look at the pictures

total of 48 gpu's 12 mobos 12 cpus 12 sticks of ram 12 ethernet cables
replaced by
six panda miners with 3 psus ( ibm 2880 ) 3 cpus 3 sticks of ram 6 ethernet cables
