Problems with ATI Tool and my Asus X800 XT PE

Ello,

I installed the ATI Tool a while ago and when I restarted I got this:


click here for the 1200 x 1600.

Then I reboted again and it was gone.. I got that kind of screens randomly, but I do not have my GPU overclocked or so.. Now I had this again last night and it wouldn't go away after two reboots so now uninstalled ATI Tool. The problem is I need to set my fanspeed to 100% to keep the GPU cool, is there any other way to do this? Flash BIOS or so? (I prefer software and not the hardware mod).

Oke, I deleted the log.txt with the rest of the files, damn I hate my stupidity. I can install ATI Tool again and check what happens.. If I get the weird screen again I can save to log.txt and uninstall it again...

Is there by the way any other way to keep the fanspeed @ 100%, without ATI Tool?

Hmm, so I installed the ATI Tool again, and I reboted and... Nothing. All went well, so my guess is that it concflicted with Serious Samurize. I will try to get the old log file back with data recovery programs but maybe it was just a conflict.

I will keep you all informed about it, maybe it will never come back, but when it will, I'll post it here (with log file). Thanks for the help so far.

the last time i show something like this it was in a 9700pro 128
the problem was that the hi temp in the core has melt the corner of the core and the card was doing this even in a dos mode if you remove the fan of the card you can look for it .

Oke, what the hell. I just reboted and now it is back again. The only thing I did this time before I reboted was setting the so called 'Lock reference divider minimum step...' off. When I had it on for the last few weeks the minimum step was 6.75 Mhz (4), if I recall it correct. Now it is suddently 2.25 Mhz (12), maybe that means something? It is now on again, but I think it is weird that the steps are not constant...

Here is the log btw:

I reboted after what... 30 hours or so... At 2005-04-05 17:28:51 I reboted the first time and I had all the weird things back (explained above), after a second reboot I at 2005-04-05 17:39:23 it was all gone again. It is very weird, because my wireless keyboard/mouse combo isn't working anymore. Freaking out a bit...
