Heya,..
OK, for users experiencing the cold boot issue ( or similar type problems ) with the following card -
HD4890 Vapor-X with the following SKU/PN numbers (SKU#11150-05 // P/N:288-1E115-020SA)
please contact your retailer and get it RMA'd ..
If you have a different SKU/PN card of the same model and have similar issues, contact Sapphire's tech team and ask for further advice.
If you have said model & SKU/PN above, please add to this post ( maybe add date of purchase and retailer ) so I can give them a rough idea as to how many cards have been affected and their localisation.
Thanks for your input and sorry for the inconvenience caused by the issue.

I have the same card and I suspect a conflict with my X-Fi extreme gamer. I installed an old pci video card so I could access my system, for some reason this seemed to interfere with my sound card. Although this fixed my new 4890. When I tried to reinstall my sound card, the 4890 stopped working and the fan on the video card maxed out. I removed the sound card again and everything went back to normal.
P.S. I purchased it from Newegg on 7/15 Item #: N82E16814102841

I've been running without any pci cards in my system and it still does it when I 1st boot up. Let it run until you hear vista load, wait a minute, power down completely and reboot and everything is fine! Now I'm going to reinstall my X-fi and see if I can boot up in this manner. I'll post again after I reinstall.

Same problems here.

Inserted a cheap backup card and it boots without any problems.
Bought it from Pixmania, France
I think I ordered it the 17th of july.
