you can put

  detect_defunct: 0

in settings area of bamt.conf.  that will stop mother from rebooting.  i'd guess that would just leave the thing hung up and not mining every 20 minutes instead of rebooting, but who knows.

if temps are jumping all over the place... well doesn't sound good to me.

one possibility: reseat the heatsink/apply thermal paste better (not more, just better, usually)/stuff like that

Mother just put noGPU0 back into the ACTIVE directory, so its not even running now, however, it just rebooted again... now its the second core on that same card that got the OC removed... I had it at 800/300... sigh....


BitMinerN8:
Its at the top and currently running  about 10C higher than the middle and bottom card with one core disabled and the other at stock.  I'll try moving it to the "bottom" slot.. I have an open air rig, so the "bottom" slot runs the coolest as nothing is in its way...  I assume there is no way to determine GPU numbers it will be if I move it?  I thought I remember reading somewhere that it was just  based on the motherboard.


If i still have issues, I'll try resetting the thermal paste/heatsink.. and if still issues... I'll finish beating my head on a wall and return it as i just bought it on ebay, lol.

looks like xwindows isn't happy.  try (logged in as root, never sudo):

/opt/bamt/start_mining pre

(let it sit there for a bit)

and

xauth mergehome/user/.Xauthority


all that happens on boot anyway, but sometimes if your rig boots slowly it can happen too soon.



the best test for if its fixed is:

atitweak -s

if atitweak can't list your cards, the ADL libs aren't working and BAMT isn't going to have any joy.

im actually dealing with an issue that is similar... maybe not, but...
with 1 5970 in only, no matter if i switch it out with a different 5970=

GPU0 gets 368 m/hs
GPU1 gets 322 m/hs

it seems as if gpu1 will never overclock no matter the settings, even if its the same as gpu0 in which case should work since its dual gpu...

trying to re-write the usb, and start fresh........any ideas as to what i might need to do will be tried n tested. 

Is there any possibility that a failure on "any" GPU gets reported as GPU0 issue, regardless which gpu it was?  I removed the card i thought was bad... so only had 4 GPU's, but the new gpu0 again started having the same problem. 

So I added the card I thought had issues back into the mix and set every card to stock and it has been running fine.  So before, gpu0 running stock would die, but with all other gpus at stock, everything seems to be fine.... its only been 30 minutes, but thats longer than it used to last, lol.  Just thought I would ask about the gpu0 theory, but maybe they both had problems.... I'll check in the AM to see if it stayed up the rest of the night.

have you tried running them all at stock 725/300/1.05v?  That's what I went back to and have been the most stable on thus far.... I'm headed to bed now.. see how it is in the AM.

I have Bamt with 3 5970. I have them at 825/300/1.05v getting 382 m/hash

It is perfectly stable for me. Last time I checked, i was pulling 930 watts from the wall.

When I ran it with:

gpu0:

  # remove disabled: or set it to 0 to actually use this card..

  disabled: 0
  debug_oc: 1
  #core_speed_0: 800
  #core_speed_1: 850
  core_speed_2: 900

  mem_speed_0: 300
  mem_speed_1: 300
  mem_speed_2: 300

 #core_voltage_0: 1.125
 #core_voltage_1: 1.125
 #core_voltage_2: 1.125

It is still throwing errors...taking the you cannot have lower values on higher profiles into account I also attempted mem_speed_0:300 1:350 2:400 just to see what the card would do.
Right now I'm just running it stock but if it keeps being stubborn I might just put Windows or something on the USB stick since the stupid poorly designed mobo has the SATA ports blocked by the fan of a videocard...granted this was back when cards were only 1 slot.

I appreciate the suggestions.

Its a wide open rig, similar to the one shown in the "build your own" hardware section of this forum.  I think I ran everything everything at stock for 24 hours, but its been awhile, so I'll go back to that and set mem at 240 and see if stock is stable or not.
