Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

The card ran fine until the flash then it wont boot past the mediashield. I don't think the mediashield is the problem, but another symptom.
This is so much trouble i will never flash a card again lol.
Thanks for some ideas though.
Thanks for the reply
I did try that on both pci and pcie setting with no luck.
It is strange the card works and gets thru post but stops at that step. It would be more understandable if it didn't work at all.
Would hot flashing be an option (Plugging the card in after i get past that mediashield screen)?
Would it be detected as an option to flash if it is not plugged in at boot?
EDIT:
I am lost as to why it hangs at that screen. I let it sit there for about 30 minutes and its not frozen...
