[BUG] AMD running/benchmarking certain algorithms (sgminer related)

[S74nk0]

Opening a new issue to reference common opened issues related to AMD GPUs and sgminer (they will be closed and referenced to this new issue to easily keep track).

Description:

Many AMD users are reporting issues with most algorithms (all are related to sgminer) when bench-marking or running resulting in a BSOD. Most users reporting the issue seem to be using AMD RXxxx (AMD Polaris) GPUs (RX480, RX470, etc..), there are also some users with older GPUs.

Potential solutions (may not apply with all users):

• Disabling Default optimizations. To do this go to Settings > General > Disable Default Optimizations and check option.
• Disabling AMD Temperature Control. To do this go to Settings > General > Disable AMD Temperature Control and check option.
• Try bench-marking/running only the following algorithms (Disabling Default optimizations and AMD Temperature Control, will increase stability):
  • NeoScrypt* (will not work on Ellesmere/Polaris GPUs and will most likely BSOD with AMD Temperature Control enabled, so don't benchmark/use this one if your GPU is Ellesmere/Polaris)
  • Lyra2REv2
  • DaggerHashimoto
  • Decred
  • Lbry
  • Equihash

Closing this since we made several changes with algorithms selection in latest releases.

Also, sgminer-gm issues should be discussed here

sgminer (common version) issues should be discussed here

Nada de eso sirvió. No puedo minar con mis MSI RX570 y RX470. Cual es la solucion de NiceHash???
