My best mate's family computer originally had a Radeon X800 (I'm unaware of specific model and make at the moment), which died after a perfectly normal reboot a year or so ago. Upon boot, it just sat there, fans spinning on full RPM but nothing more. They stripped an old computer of its GF2 MX, which needless to say isn't the fastest card on the planet. We've been doing some general maintenance recently and I thought I'd try to get the X800 up and running again.
So, what might cause this sudden death for an X800? I thought we might try to reflash the card's BIOS, think that might help? I'll get back to you with model and make soon.
