My Two GPU's Causing System Crashes When Running Simultaneously.

[marvin5881]

Before you guys ask, I have a 1200w PSU. Whenever I do folding (running my graphics cards at max power to contribute computer power to solve diseases) they both always crash (My RX Vega 64 and R9 290) which causes my computer to restart also, the crash usually happens anywhere between 5-20 minutes of starting folding. The GPU's work perfectly fine when not running at the same time by the way. I've updated AMD Chipset Drivers and Graphics Drivers, tried different PCIE slots, tried turning off GPU monitoring software. I really need some help guys with this problem, I'm dumbfounded

first make sure there's no overclocking applied to your gpus to make sure there's not a stability issue... beyond that it would probably help to go to the forum the folding program operates, they'll probably be more knowledgeable about how to configure things...

GPUs run fine independently but crash when run together...

 

Make sure there isn't an overclock being applied to the cards

 

Make sure you have enough wattage on your PSU to handle the entire system load from running two GPUs plus CPU and rest of system. You might not have enough and it's overloading the PSU triggering a shutdown.

 

Other than that it can be a dying PSU or maybe even a bug in the folding program.

 

Can you run them together in another application like gaming, benchmarks, etc.? What I'm asking is, does it only crash when folding? It it only crashes when folding and they run fine together elsewhere then I would suspect the folding software may be to blame.

My first thought was a driver issue, but I highly doubt it. Did you see if anyone else is having this issue? I kind of see where @pwnograffik with the dying PSU idea. Perhaps an overheating PSU? Aside from that, power draw doesn't seem to be an issue at all.
