hey, i started mining doge on fastpool 24h ago with 9000khs and so far i only have 13000 doge...

this seems really low dose anyone have any ideas whats up with this?

just wanted to let you all know that cryptsy sorted my missing deposit out and i have my coins. dont worry if you have missing coins im sure they will be with you soon. they just did not answer my emails because of the massive volume id say.

ok i deposited 4.699 bitcoins in cryptsy 3 days ago and i has not showed up in my balance. i sent tickets and tried to contact big vern on twitter and i have had no reply (ticket number 79845). are people getting there any reply? because it seems to me like im being ignored. 5 grand worth of btc has just vanished and i have not been sent so much as a generic email... can anyone shed some light on the matter for me, i need these coins.

im waiting on 4.699 bitcoins to be deposited into cryptsy so i can buy doge. its been 29 hours now. the coins have just vanished...
i lost 1000 dollars already with the price of bitcoins dropping because of cryptsys stuff up  

has anyone else had trouble like this with cryptsy?

much annoyance
very pissed
so angry

you have 2 look after 2 kids... i cant even look after myself let alone 2 kids haha

yeah i tried the q flash and that but i had no luck at all

so what your saying is when shorting pins 4&7 you have apply the jumper during the few seconds when the gigabyte logo shows up and then release just after?

ok i haven't been doing that, i just had a paper clip jumping the 2 and waiting for the bios to kick in.

i have requested a refund for the boards but im considering soldering a button on the pins to try it out first.

i wonder if there any of connecting a button without soldering???

yeah i already tried that to, i tried with a wireless usb keyboard and a ps/2 board same deal with both lets me press keys on prompt and then just gos to black screen.

yeah like on one of the boards its letting run windows and everything on it, its working fine but it wont let me flash it and it wont enter the bios.

gigabyte should get there shit together, im sick of this goddam tomfoolery.

i got the tech to update it for because i had no gpu that would work with the f1 bios. it needed to flash to f2 before my gpu would work. i ended up buying an old cheap gpu that worked.

i have a multimeter here, that was gonna be my next step. i also have a gas soldering iron and if all else fails im going to solder in new bios. im going to fix these darn boards if its the last thing i do.

yeah i think you can corrupt both bios...

sorry your right, typing error i was meaning pins 4&7 the pins are of the same config some bloke on page 5 has same board as me. heres the datasheet for the chip http://postar.sino-star.com/public/uploads/20120412164634_571.pdf
i think it should be the pins for 4ground and 7hold

yeah i been trying to press end to enter flash but none of the buttons work on both boards end, delete, f9, f12. it wont let me do anything with the bios. im just getting the gigabyte sign with the commands and keys to hit along the bottom then when i hit a key it just gos to black screen and stays there.

the writing on the chips so small i cant make it out, i need a magnifying glass lol. but from what i read on page 5 of the tech someone says its the same chip they give a link to prove it but its dead.

you have a kid, im so frustrated with these boards that if i had baby and it was crying id probably shake it to death haha

well i tried shorting the main bios by connecting pins 5+6 and you can also connect pins 1+7. which is suppose to trick the back up bios into thinking the main bios is not working but no luck.

it seems that the backup bios is not working on both boards, is this even possible? and if so what would of caused this?

from what i gather if you flash the bios in ntfs format flash it will not work, i couldn't find anything to say that it will damage the bios. could it be the tech who flashed it used @bios? and even if he did i should still be able to disable the main bios and make the back up bios take over right?

i should also confess i think it was my fault the bios stuffed up, not the techs. i made flash drive of the bios for the tech and formatted the usb in ntfs when it should of been formatted in fat32. so i think thats where it went wrong...

yeah i have this really bad habit of buying something because its a deal that seems to good to be true and then it turns out it really is haha 
six months to get a refund, at that stage i would of been sending them anthrax letters... 

your 100% right in what you say, i decided against doing the windows bios update and risking screwing the one board thats booting os. there is however light at the end of the tunnel. im going to try tomorrow shorting out the main bios to trick the back up bios into thinking the main bios has been corrupted. what could of happened is something freakishly small went wrong in the bios update and the back up bios thinks the main bios is working ok and its not kicking in.

i found this telling how to do it if anyone runs into this same problem, it supposedly is a very common problem with these boards. but should only be tried after all other avenues have been exhausted

http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte/33904-how-fix-dead-dual-bios-motherboard-if-flashing-failed-2.html     

im living australia but im irish lol. i bought the boards, gpu, and cpu from different ebay suppliers and some ram from a local supplier (who were the ones that checked all parts for me and found they all worked, it was just a bios problem) i kind of wish i had of just bought them all from my local supplier now javascript:void(0);

but yeah i have already tried to reset the bios from the jumpers (didnt fix the problem) and i also removed everything from the motherboard removed the cmos battery and i attached a power button and depressed 10 or 15 times to remove any current from the capacitors and still no luck.

i think with this model of board that when you flash the main bios that the back up bios is overwritten by the main bios. they call it duel bios for dummies... which is really dumb because unlike other boards where you have the option to switch over to backup bios with this board if you screw up bios installation you screw main and back up bios. this has to be one of the most flawed moves for gigabyte, they should stick to the switch method.

kind of good news i just got a drive from a laptop with a windows 7 on it working on 1 board and im going to try and update bios from windows and not from q flash

wish me luck

no i didnt update the bios the so called "repair technician" did, to be honest if he cant do a simple bios update properly im not letting him back at it a second time to break something else. the reason i got a repair technician to update the bios is because the only cards i had were r9 290's and they would not work with the bios that was on the motherboard. the r9 290, the motherboard, cpu, ram everything were all working fine and still are. they were all tested by a supplier, i seen them working with my own eyes. it was a bios issue not hardware but now the tech has screwed up the bios. the reason i bought a second hand card was so i could update the bios because i knew when i got the boards home that the tech had not updated the bios correctly.     

how can i access the back up bios on this board or is it automatic?

i cant even enter bios to update it, its just sending to a black screen after hitting delete on start up

i cant access the bios on 2 (god damn 2 of these peaces of junk) brand new ga-990fxa-ud3 (rev 4.0) its just going to the command prompt screen and when i hit the keys the screen just gos blank. i have brand new r9 290's gpu's, (kingston 4x4gb ram, 2x wd sata 500gb harddrive, 2x amd sempron 145 cpu, 2x ocz gold 80 plus 1000w psu all brand new) the r9 290's wouldn't even register a signal on the screen so i got an old 8800gts card to work on it. all i can do is hit command and gos to black screen. tried skipping on and installing Ubuntu from flash drive and its coming back with "unable to find a medium containing a live system" i need to get into the bios.

i brought the mother boards round to a pc repair technician and got him to update the bios to from f1 to f2 after i couldn't get the r9 290's
to register, the moron must of screwed up the bios update or something because when i got em home the r9 290's still wouldn't register. so i went and got a secondhand 8800gts for 25 bucks to do what the tech was ment to do and i cant access the bios...
i tried removing the battery, jumping the cmos pins but only to the same no access to bios. the board has duel bios and supposedly when the main bios becomes damaged the back up bios restores the main bios to factory setting.

is there some thing i have to do to make the back up bios restore the main bios or should it happen automatically?

so how can i expect to earn per MH with middlecoin.com?

darn any suggestions for a good board?

the ud5 perhaps? or asrock extreme 4?

what have you got? 

so have you successfully ran 4 gpu's on the 990fxa-ud3 board?

your 100% right the r9 290's wont work with the bios thats factory installed, i need another gpu that will work with current bios so i can update bios to f2.

i posted the same question over on another forum and someone told me i cant run more than 2 gpu's on these boards or ill fry my gpu's (no parts or the board are damaged i tested them with other gpus, ram and motherboards round at a wholesaler near my place), is this correct? i can only run 2 gpus?

gotta wait till after the 27th because im an immigrant in this country of sheep (australia ) and i dont know anyone with a gpu i can use to update my bios

hi everyone,

this is an excellent forum with some well clued up members, a real wealth of information but something i cant find an answer to is a problem im having. im building two 4 x r9 290 rigs and im having some difficulty. im getting no signal to my screen, not just black screen but no signal and on start up one long beep fallowed by 3 short beeps (gigabyte beep bios say faulty keyboard but im sure my keyboards good...) hdd led flashes 1 long fallowed by 2 short flashes about 20 seconds after start up. cpu fans spin and r9 290 fan spins. i have a hdmi from gpu to screen, i have double and triple checked connections, tried switching all 4 x 4gb ram in different slots one at a time two at a time and tried switching gpu slots and tried all 8 gpus. i removed the cmos battery over night and also shorted the cmos jumpers to reset bios but still no signal. im not sure if the rig is reaching bios because i have no signal on screen (just a box saying no signal). i think im starting to go insane... lol

gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud3 motherboard x 2
Kingston 4gb ddr3 1600 ram x 4
ocz gold power supply 1000w x 4
r9 290 sapphire x 5, r9 290 gigabyte x 3
amd sempron 140 and 145 cpu (one of each)
raiser cables x 8

will gpu display graphics without drivers being installed?

this is my first build so im a bit of a newbie but i used anti static wrist strap and have made a frame mdf board and 18x40 timber which holds the rig, if anyone can please help me solve this problem i will show my appreciation by sending some litecoins your way

regards
