Thanks Joe_H (from another Joe H). I reentered my passcode and that appears to have fixed it.

I've been running a system with two RTX 2070's. Yesterday I added a 2080. Of course, I've long ago forgotten my passkey so I requested a resend. And there were a lot of reboots today trying to fix a PCI riser that seems to have failed overnight. Gave up, now running one 2070, one 2080. Total haul fo...

I think that is exactly what happened.

Thanks all. I replaced the little card that plugs into the PCI slot and everything is good. So, electrical problem. Which is weird because it was working--just really, really slowly. Thanks again.

I haven't installed the 3rd GPU yet. This happens just moving the 2nd GPU to what I assumed would be a faster slot. The big problem is that, as it is, there's only one little slot available. And if I can't use the bigger slots, there's no reason to even install the 3rd.

Additional data: the riser is powered and the PSU is 1600 watts. Processor is Intel Coffee Lake. GPUs are cold. I think they have a target temp of 61C and they both operate around that temp. The remotely mounted GPU achieves that with intermittent fan use. The GPU mounted on the motherboard uses abo...

Okay, my motherboard has the following: 3x PCIe 3.0 x16 slots (support x16/x0/x4, x8/x8/x4 modes) 3x PCIe 3.0 x1 slots I have two GPUs (both RTX 2070) and I'd like to run one using a riser because that way both of them stay cool without screaming fans. There is some speed hit doing this, even runnin...

I'm not entirely sure why it started working. However, I think that removing the GPU (from the client configuration) and then adding it back after switching to the riser was the likely cure. In the first instance, I'm pretty sure I had not removed the GPU.

Please ignore--its working now.

My computer for folding has two RTX 2070s and runs Ubuntu (20.04) and works great. I'd like to move one of the GPUs to a 1x-16x riser, mostly to reduce heat and noise. I've tried to to that and it looks like linux sees the card. In particular, the nvidia application is able to report stats about tha...
