I have two different graphics cards installed in my machine and im trying to use them both for guiminer but it only reconigizes one of them... any suggestions? (cards are ati radeon hd 6970 and an ati radeon hd 5870)
You've got some serious airflow problems if your card is overheating and it's the only one in the case.
Download & run MSI Afterburner (found here) to check temps first.
If it's around or above 100*c, open up your case -- I imagine you must have a LOT of dust & whatnot clogging your intake vents to clean out. If there's still a problem, try keeping one side of the case completely open and buy some more case fans to mount inside it.

I have a temp program already - it's saying it goes between 88c and 92c on average. It's once it hits 99c it freezes. I just bought all new parts and a case which has 2 fans going and now i have the side open and it freezes less but i dont want it to freeze at all. I now have a fan blowing into the cpu externally but im still concerned at its average temp. Is that 88 - 92c average??
88-92c is adequate. It's possible (though unlikely) the card you're using kicks the itself off @ 100c for safety reasons -- that's usually considered when it becomes too hot for consumer electronics to operate, though many people run gfx cards up to 110c without problems.
Does the program you're using allow you to set (or at least monitor) the speed of your gfx card fan? Make sure it's at 100%. You could also try underclocking your mem clock speed to lower the temperature a few degrees.
I think you should explore other alternatives to the card shutting off than temperature. Perhaps the card is unstable at whatever clock speed it's at (though I'm assuming it's at default speeds) or the power supply is insufficient. PSUs output less watts the higher the temperature is which could explain the card shutting off (they're rated at "room temperature" - a variable dependent on the company rating it). It could also be from your PCI-E speed being set too high in the BIOS (very unlikely). It's usually untouched (universally default on modern boards @ 100 MHz), but some people bump it up a few MHz claiming it helps them achieve better gfx card OCs.
Currently it does not give me the option to run the fan 100%. ill get MSI afterburn

I am running a 6970 with the perameters at -v -w128 and it seems to keep freezing every 12+ hours due to overheating I'm assuming. This frightens me because I have a 5870 on its way and not sure how the overheating will be with that in my cpu as well. any suggestions?

MagicalTux reported a bitcoind crash on irc. He has restarted it.
"This problem is linked to a lack of stability in bitcoind. We recently upgraded to bitcoin 0.3.21, and it seems that this version is not stable. We'll wait a bit and if it crashes again we'll downgrade."-Mark
My BTC transaction just prior to the crash went through now, too. Whew.
Thats the same message I was sent too. Good thing ur transaction went through
Looks fixed to me just now.
Just worked for me too! Apparently "Exception" means error haha
I emailed info@mtgox.com already. Perhaps it's a good thing right now that I cant send over some BTCs. The value has gone down today and maybe it'll go back up when this issue is resolved and perhaps this issue has some reflection to do with the decreased value
...I hopeWhat is this doing in the mining forum?
I thought about that as soon as I put it up here... You can look how busy the general bitcoin discussion forum is doing though... This also is kinda a big deal for those who mine too I'd assume.
Tried to press "Send Bitcoins" button and "Exception!" ribbon appeared on the page.
Worked fine usually.

Yeah its kinda frustrating right now. I suppose it might be down?
Addblock blocked stuff for me. You should get popup after pushing the button for adding bitcoins.
I believe the popup is done through Javascript. Perhaps Java isn't correctly installed on his machine?
Just put down my blocker even though it has never been an issue before... same deal. tried 3 different computers. same deal. This is weird and getting a little annoying
I'm getting no such error. Can you get to https://mtgox.com/users/addFunds ?
Vaguely related note -- is there a way to confirm I sent BTC to the right address? I sent 15 BTC an hour or so ago and have 21 confirmations, but my balance @ MTG is what it was before I sent the coins.
I'm guessing there's no such refund for sending BTC to a nonexistant hash address?

I am able to get to that address but it keeps acting like im not sending anything... its weird. I know it can take like a hr for your btcs to show up on there but this exception thing it keeps doing is getting nerve racking.
For some reason, when I'm trying to add bitcoins to mt gox, it gives me an error saying: "Exception! In order to trade on the exchange you must add either US dollars (USD) or Bitcoins (BTC). You can redeem your funds at anytime."
I'm trying to add bitcoins... why is it saying this? Anyone else having this issue or found a way to resolve it?

A few minutes or a few hours. Somewhere within that region.
Not "few minutes" really 
mtGox needs at least 6 confirmations, so it will be more than one hour usually.
Hahaha! Be nice if it was a few minutes... I guess you can't really just cash out ASAP huh
Hey all,
So i've yet to actually trade in my bit coins for USD yet. Was going to use Mt Gox. Does it work fairly simple? Like, for say, I can see 10 BTC's and get USD ASAP or do I have to actually wait for someone to buy it? Some feed back or better ideas on how to convert BTCs to USD would be very much appreciated.

Anyone else using a HIS Radeon HD 6970 and having issues?
My Radeon 6970 will not perform to its max comp. like I want it to without it freezing. Does anyone else have this gfx card and having the same issue? If so, how did you fix it? I had to bog it down so it will mostly stay under 360 mhash but Ive seen it able to reach past 440 mhash. Any information would be appreciated.

Re: Does anyone know the best GFX card for mining @ $250 or under?
Thanks for the advice! One more question: which model of the 5870's are better? Im look at HIS (which I heard was the best from someones opinion), XFX, or visiontek?
I would buy the cheapest reference 5870 I could find.
I just purchased this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003L6HKT4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&m=A1S18DAN6PXTGT
Any ideas on what the MHash will be? Im using https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison to compare but it gives a wide variety of speeds.
