Good afternoon!

I added 2 RX580s to my rig that usually runs an R9 Fury for the Pentathalon, and the system is crashing after a few seconds of Einstein running. Looking in tasks it appears to be running 4 instances on the 3 GPUs, and looking in the log it appears as if Einstein thinks  I have 6 GPUs installed, is ignoring the Fury, and running 2 tasks on each of the 580s.

You've let Windows install

You've let Windows install multiple drivers for your ATI cards.

Use Wagnard's DDU utility to completely wipe your graphics drivers.

Then install only ONE graphics driver that handles all your cards.

BOINC then should only detect the actual physically installed cards and assign tasks accordingly.
