Hey guys, I just recently built an 8 GPU mining rig (8 1070's MSI/EVGA) and have run into an issue when getting them to run. All except one are saying "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" I'm wondering what the issue is. I have most recent drivers and have enabled 4G decoding in BIOS... Is there something I'm missing? thanks.

What do you mean getting "them" to run, the video cards or did you build more than one system? Code 43 is a power issue usually. Test with several cards at a time, make sure all the cards are good. Don't just stick 8 in there and see how they run. Try with 4, then go up one at a time.

I found out that it was faulty risers. Another guy I talked to bought the same risers as me that were also defective. 2 out of 12 risers worked.
