Rig Won't Stop Crashing! - Help Appreciated

My rig was running nice and smooth for weeks without issue but after making a few additions I can’t get it to stop rebooting every few hours. I’m going to list out my set-up details when everything was running smoothly, the changes I made, the set up of my rig currently and the solutions I’ve tried. Any input would be greatly appreciated here. Thanks!

  • Swapped out previous EVGA P2 1200 PSU for 2 EVGA P3 1200 PSUs

Current (Unstable) Rig Set-Up

Hardware:

XFX 6800 XT (3 cards)

  • Running the 113-5N21XT_200801 bios that it came with
  • Memory Clock – 1075

Stock settings

Celeron G4930 CPU

EVGA Supernova P3 Platinum 1200 (2 PSUs)

SanDisk Plus 240GB

Operating System:

HiveOS 0.6-208 @ 210818

Mining Software:

Team Red Miner (0.8.6)

Solutions I’ve Tried

  • Updating HiveOS to the newest beta
    • This seemed to make it worse, so I reverted to 0.6-208 @ 320818
  • Flashing the 6800 XT 113-5N21XT_200801 bios from my 3 better performing cards to the card that came with the different bios
    • This caused HiveOS to not recognize that GPU when I rebooted so I flashed it back to its stock bios
  • Switched the HiveOS watchdog to only “reboot if gpu is offline”
    • Not sure if this has made anything better or worse

Anyone see any glaring issues here that could be causing this or is having similar issues themselves? Any input is appreciated, thanks mining fam!

Try reducing your overclocks significantly till it stabilislzes then increase by 5 every few minutes till it crashes, then decrease by 5 and let it go.
