Hello, I’have only about 2 month mining and last week I had a problem.
I just wanted to see if someone can help me please. Bear in mind, I’m not a pc-pro.
I purchased a new GPU (EVGA GTX1080ti SC Black Edition) and a PSU (EVGA 750BQ) to go with my old PC.
Did a clean fresh WIN 10 install.
Everything went fine for the first 6 week but after I did turn-off the PC, the day after it started to reset by itself constantly.
After 4-5 hours of mining the pc restarted alone. No sound no nothing. In the mean time purchased a set of GPU risers, so I wanted to try them. At this point I checked the termal paste.
When I did turn on the PC with the riser pluged (molex to 6pin) everything was ok. No motherboard sound, HMDI signal fine to the monitor but the moment I opened the bat file it started to make a loud and continuos Beep and when I closed the program it stoped.
I removed the reiser and connected the GPU directly to the 1x16 slot as it was originally and it did the same thing.
I tryed with 2 differents motherboards, and nothing changed.
Reading throug the internet, I was hopping that it was the PSU (even as new) so I replaced it today with a CoolerMaster 550w I bougth a few years back, but it made the same noise again and again. With or without riser.
How can I check what’s wrong ? It could be the GPU ?
I don’t understand why it is making this even if I take it to the first configuration that worked really fine (620/750 sol/s) at my very first attemp for 6 weeks long.
the original (which worked fine) was with: EVGA 750w PSU + Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3 motherboard + AMD Athlon II +2GG ram.
An old IBM Core Duo with the riser and the same EVGA 750w PSU.
Another Gigabyte GA-770T-USB3 motherboard + AMD Athlon III with + EVGA 750w PSU
the original setup + CoolerMaster 550w that worked with the GA-770T as my home pc with any kind of problem.
What remain the same was the 1080ti and the hard-drive with the brand new Win10 that worked fine.
And the beep is loud and continuos one that start and end when you start/close the miner.
For termal-paste I was refering to the CPU, as it was never changed after 5-6 years and seeing that now the computer was on for 24/7 and restarting itself.
It is not as it is suffering for coil whine nor similar, but if I did connect something wrong it shouldn’t even work or passing signal to the monitor right ?
I don’t have any 3rd PSU to check, but was hoping that changing it for the old one, it would stop beeping.
How can I check if there is something wrong with the GPU ? Could it been damage by some kind of static electricity ?
i had a similar experience , luckily i have 11 rigs so i had the chance to borrow a part from one to confirm what is wrong. Powersupply was the issue, if you havent tried that then you should give it a go.
If I should purchase another PSU what would you recomend ? Seen that the one i bought didn’t last 2 months.
I don’t plan to go with 6 GPU, but it’s on the way a RX580.
I was looking to buy the: Corsair Builder Series CX750M / Cooler Master G750M
Well, I took the GPU to a friend’s house and instaled it on his computer and it worked fine. I asked him if I could borrow his PSU and test the mining rig in my office, he agreed and when I changed the PSU in the office the computer started to make the same noice !!! I couldn’t belevie it.
At this point, the only thing that cross my mind was “the electricity plug has to be the problem (in some way)”. I connected the mining rig directly to the wall avoiding the surge protection we have, and the problem was solved.
