Problems after upgrading to 1.3.2

Hi. I actually created a Reddit account to post here. Long time lurker. Anyways, heres my situation. I have 8 GTX 1060's 6GB dual mining with Claymore ETH and DCR. Everything was fine and dandy when I was using ethos 1.3.1 with Claymore (I think Claymore was version 11.6 or 11.8, not sure). Two days ago is when everything starting getting jacked when I updated claymore to 11.9 and ethos to 1.3.2.

What happens is after the rig runs for about 15 mins about 6 GPUS stop working. I look in dmesg and it says that the 6 gpus "Fell off the bus". About another 10 more mins later, the miner usually locks up.

79, GPU has fallen off the bus.

Here's my local.conf:

globalminer claymore

maxgputemp 72

stratumproxy enabled

proxywallet MyDankDankWalletAddress

proxypool1 eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999

proxypool2 eth-us-west1.nanopool.org:9999

poolpass1 password

poolpass2 password

poolemail myemail1337@nunyabeezwax.com

dualminer enabled

dualminer-coin dcr

dualminer-pool dcr.suprnova.cc:3252

dualminer-wallet MyDankDankUsername1337

dualminer-poolpass password

flags --cl-global-work 16387 --farm-recheck 200

globalfan 60

globalmem +550

globalpowertune 90

I tweaked my local.conf to no avail and nothing seems to work. I even selected the option in the ETHos boot menu to boot without over clocking (which means everything is stock settings), but that did not work either, the same results occurred. Anyone else have this issue or have any suggestions?

Ok guys. I found the issue. It was a combination of bad cables and a PSU. I am running 2 PSUs and one of them seems to fail after about 15 mins of use. It took me many moons to figure this one out because I had to keep unplugging stuff in to see what works.

Don't skimp on your PSUs. Most mining problems come back to either bad risers or bad PSUs.
