Hey guys, my first post here.
Long story making short I was googling how to edit bios in graphic cards and I stumbled on RBE forums, I followed the tutorial how to aquire my graphic card bios. The whole idea behind this was to increase voltage so I could stable 700core....Now here is there the fun begiiinss.
So I flashed my card, overclocked it....had some strange system slowdowns, I overclocked it and games were running great, after 5minutes or so the game hang up and I got gray screen, I reebooted and I got no signal. Changing monitor cable from one dvo port to another I could not get signal to show up, I had to call my friend to come with his old x1550 pci edition so I could use my pc....Later on we went to his house thinking maybe its my pc, card fan was spinning no sounds or stuff showing up. We took out his 4870x2, put my lil 4850 and still no signal. So we are thinking the bios went wrong or the card physically broke. I doubt that, I have Sapphire 4850 dual eidtion with big heatink on that card so temps were not the problem.
So I have question for you guys it there any way to get the old bios on to the card? I get no signal from it so I can't see what's happening. I saved my original bios, I'm thinking its the bios....hopefully I didn't fry the card lol!
My system specs are as follows:
*G.Skill 4gb ddr2 800 @954mhz
*Vista 64bit
*Intel Core2Quad q6600 @ 3.4ghz
*Antec TwelveHundred full tower case
*Silverstone 700w modular striker series
*ZEROtherm Nirvana cpu cooler
*Sapphire 4850 (not working)
*ASUS 20X DVD±R DVD Burner
*Seagate Barracuda 500gb HD (2x)
*P45 ASUS P5Q SE
*Acer 22"
I also made video of the card on youtube, you can take look the heatsink is big so I doubt the temps were the problem haha
