Hi guys, I have two GTX 480, water cooled. Well, I flashed them to the new bios, released in the end of 2010, I think it was released a few weeks before the GTX 580 launch, I did that looking for better stability and maybe a little of performance boost.
The strange thing is that after a few weeks, one day I used my computer for a few hours with the 480s at stock clocks, and I turned off my computer. The other day I turned on my computer and it was showing a lot of artifacts while botting, and my OS/Nvidia Control Panel/GPU-z dont recognizes my video card anymore and I can't change my screen resolution.
This is happening only with one card, the other is fine, no problem at all. I flashed my bad card to the original bios and I don't had any sucess, I tried with a lot of bios too. One more thing, the bad card it is my primary card.
What it can be? Dead card? If it was dead it is not supose to don't send video signal ?
Here is two pictures of GPU-Z, after I flashed to the original bios:
