i have got the same problem as Thaiman in this thread:http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=699&highlight=x800+dead
i missflashed my x800Pro and now the computer does not start with the card installed in AGP-slot, even if i use a PCI-card!
So i tried to "hot-flash" the card...boot up with matrox mystique and G400....
swapping the G400 with the x800 while computer was running works fine, but i just can not get into contact with the x800pro....
atiflash -i = computer locks up
atiflash -f -p 0 bios.bin = computer locks up
i tried the "hot-swap" with an old working 9600, and with this card, atiflash works fine...
so the swap is not the problem...
i think, the problem is, that atiflash trys to access the bios on the card, to read what flashtype to use e.g....
but since the bios is dead, atiflash locks up...
so is there any version or undocumented switch, that allows to brutally force writing the bios?
