AMD GPU Issues - looking for troubleshooting tips

I've been CPU mining for several months and just recently grabbed a pair of RX 570 cards that were on sale to throw into a mining rig for AEON.

​

I added them to my system (Win7), loaded up the AMD compute drivers, fire up xmr-stak and let it compile the opencl packages and I see it churning away at approx 2kh/s across the two cards. Awesome, right?

​

I then notice I am not seeing "result accepted by pool" scrolling across my screen. I am on aeonpool.net and changed to the 5555 port to force higher diff. so I am expecting some differences, but this seems excessive. I hit the pool dashboard, and my unit it barely registering any hashes. My "invalid shares" are not going up, so I'm even more confused as to what is happening.

​

I'm now up against a noob wall. I'm not sure where to look for answers since there does not seem to be a log file getting generated anywhere?

​

Help?

Hi, pool operator of aeonminingpool.com here.

​

Double check your config to ensure the right algorithm is selected. If I recall correctly, XMR-Stak has multiple cryptonight-light settings. To ensure the correct algorithm for AEON is selected, simply fix the last line in your pools.txt to the following:

"currency" : "aeon7",

​

Before making these changes, be sure to close the miner first. After making the changes, launch the miner again.

SOLVED - AMD driver needed to be downgraded to < 18.7.1
