What pool are you minig at? I got crashes every 30 minutes on flypool. I switched to nanopool and no crashes since then. Also use -k zec zec for each gpu, it gives a few more Sol/s and my 480s dont dip below 34Sol/s.
On the other hand I can't get the CPU miner for nanopool to run. It runs on all other pools though.
how long you been running? i switched from fly to mining pool hib and it worked for like 2-3 hours then cut in half
I am running 2 cards per instance, which seems to be very stable, so 3 slightly different batch files. The first line titles the cmd window so you know which miner you are looking at more easily. The -f switch is set to 2 which will exit genoil.exe if the miner crashes, and the -g switch just says to run the first two cards. That -g switch and the window title/address are the only that differ between my batch files. Basically when Genoil crashes, for any reason, it will continue on in the batch file and just start Genoil.exe over continuously. You may need to change the -P switch to a 0 if this doesn't work, different rigs are picky about this switch.

For all who have trubles with 0.0 Sol/s problem. I had the same problem. My system for Zcash is Win x64 Pro, 8Gb ram, Intel 1840, ASRock B85 Anniversary, 6x ASUS R9 380 Strix 4Gb. After the upgrade to Genoil's zec miner version 0.6, in a few minutes of mining some random cards stop mining. I tried to restart the system, do some work with the riser, try different miner configurations. It did not help. All this I have done through remote desktop or TeamViewer. And when I got to the farm physically, restarted miner, it worked like no problems.
Now it works perfectly with the following script for the miner: :loop genoil.exe -c urpool -u worker.worker -p password -f 2 goto loop
During this time, I'm not connected to the miner remotely.
Mining farm is live, ended up making a batch file for each card + a 15 minute restart for windows, this way even if the program itself crashes, windows restarts and continues Bat files in description if anyone cares!

@trump104 True. I'll do that in a couple of hours. According to my calculations they are even right now. I'm going to miss the higher hashrate and the lower temperature of the ZEC though.

@Sash its about 150W lower on my 6x480's rig. And duble the money. Its still worth mining zcash. Not the heaven of mining like it was 3 days ago but still makes bank.

That remote booter looks interesting, is it something I can buy?

Genoil 0.6
What u GPU model? Where we can low power bios?
rig of 6 470 consumes at the wall 500W, its it is much less power compared to 700w in eth
the bios the bios I use for most of my cards is this

ZCash and Ethereum are like brother and sister
btw, genoil 0.4.2 is simply very good..
1 7970 = 30 sols
6 290 = 164-180 sols
6 470 = 156-178 sols
.. while v0.5 wont start here.

Went from 160-170 Sols to 290+!!!
ETH miners settle your belts we are comming back.

Im lovin' it
Thanks.
what is the hashrate of your 7990 using claymore zec miner 2.1
