Hey guys,
I have 4 x 6950s running (well...not really or I wouldn't be here) on a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 motherboard, it has worked previously but with some stability problems. Cgminer kept blue screening on close/restart in Windows 7, so using cgwatcher to fix sick/dead cpus caused the pc to crash. After that it would lock on booting and then require a further restart to boot. I tried reinstalling, now it crashes instantly on starting cgminer (tried 3.01 and 2.11.3 also 12.8, 13.1, 13.4 and 13.5 beta AMD drivers). I've tried BAMT and won't boot with all four cards plugged in (works with one though) so now I'm trying Xubuntu 12.04 which is supposed to be easy.
But...when the installer runs it doesn't pick up my usb mouse (I tried 2, they both work in the bios) or my usb 3 drive (which is where I want to install it). I tried plugging in a hard drive but it had some error about creating a partition. Also it won't connect to the network (Realtek chipset I think).
This is beyond a joke now, I can't do anything without a mouse and I can't update anything or mine without internet. Please help me I'm not a linux expert so any help needs to be clearly explained.
Thanks
