PC Drivers & Software

[zeref]

hello i have a big problem with the drivers

I deal with mining.

https://hiveos.farm/  system and you have software Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS

have installed these drives here

Radeon™ Software for Linux® 18.10 Release Notes | AMD

the problem is that when I get 3x 295x2  and 1x Radeon R9 290

i have  lot stuck  in 290

I'm trying to see which drivers are compatible with the 295x2 and  290

can anyone tell me which version to download do not have problems please

Hi,

Can you post your computer specs?  What motherboard?  How many GPUs and type of GPUs are you are running?

Does it run with just one 295X2 in the motherboard?

hello thank you very much for the answer..

I have test  1x 295x2 is work normal

i have  tes  3x 295x2 is stuck drivers error

i have test 3x 295x2 and Radeon R9 290/R9 390 stuck the next 6h

Thanks for the specs. If one 295X2 is OK then the problem is probably the motherboard/bios/memory, not the drivers.  I don't do mining but I use 10x 295X2 running in 3 computers for computation. One MB runs 4x 295x2 for 8 GPUs no problem.

One reason that 6 or 7 GPUs can  fail is because the BIOS's Above 4G setting is off.  Each GPU uses a lot of IO mapped memory space (this is space, not real memory). The MB tries to put all that mapped memory below the 4GB address but can't with too many GPUs i.e., 3X 295X2. Then it fails. When I turn on my MBs Above 4G setting then no problem.

You can see all the motherboards IO mapping by typing sudo cat /proc/iomem in the Ubuntu terminal window.

On some MBs you may need other settings. The good news  is your motherboard has these settings. Here is a discussion from the ASROCK website about the H110 PRO BTC+ :  H110 Pro BTC+ Cannot boot with more than 9 GPU - ASRock Forums - Page 1

==========================================================

>Be sure that the Above 4GB MMIO BIOS assignment option in the UEFI, Chipset Configuration screen, is enabled. It is by default.

>Set the VT-d option, Chipset Configuration, to Disabled.

>Check that all the ASPM options in Chipset Configuration are Disabled.

>Set the IOAPIC 24-119 Entries option to Enabled if it is disabled.

>One other possibility is the amount of DRAM memory you are using. The OS/Windows reserves some of the PC's memory for system use with hardware like video cards. The amount allocated depends on how much memory is available overall. If not enough memory is available, more cards won't be detected. Normally Windows will boot in that situation, but the card(s) won't be recognized.

>Related to this is how much memory is allocated to the Intel iGPU. Set the Share Memory option, in Chipset Configuration, as low as possible. Also be sure to set the IGPU Multi-Monitor to disabled, IF you do NOT use the Intel iGPU.

>Disable as much of the unused hardware you can in the UEFI. Such as, Onboard HD Audio, Onboard HDMI HD Audio, Serial Port and Parallel Port.

>Do not use the Fast Boot option, keep it Disabled.

Good Luck, please let us all know if it works!

hello again and good years..

I did what you told me..

windows 10 last version

drivers Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.11.4 Highlights

i look the bios all this setting is ok..

the problem  now is.

when doing mining for some hours or for one day. where they are all fixed and I have 7gpu.

it suddenly stops working a gpu of 295x2..

this I can not understand why it does
