Hello all. I have a Sapphire HD 3850 AGP. I was flashing the BIOS with winflash and my system froze. So then the card didn't work anymore. I found my voodoo 3 pci card (thank god i saved it) and booted to DOS (nero dos) with both cards in. Then i ran "atiflash -f -p 0 rv670.bin" (actual backup from gpu-z) everything seems to go right, all the numbers match up, and it says to reboot to finish vbios flash so i do but i get nothing. The screen is still blank, orange light on my monitor.

Is my card bricked? Anything else I can try?

PS: I can't make it past the windows xp boot screen with both cards installed. Or I would try winflash.

Thanks in advance.
