So u don't think mem fried then? Will get some rubbing alcohol tomorr and clean stuff just in case. Don't want to do anything physically to the card which may invalidate rma Thanks for the help, will update if situation changes

switch is currently set toward the 'cable end' position which i think is the standard bios.. typically.. it crashed just after i saved the above .. black screen no odd fan behaviour. I reset and this time i got a bsod report.. is this likely to relate to the problem or the reset? thanks

this is my current gpuz after my last post i realised the ati drivers had just been reloaded by windows after the next restart, so went back and uninstallled again.. this time deleting the drivers. it started up and installed drivers... rebooted (device mngr says AMD Radeon HD6900...

yes windows installs its drivers and says ready to use. thanks don't know if this will help any

i can get it to boot into full windows, but its not stable.. i was able to use ccc to change fan speeds and stuff - until it crashed when i switched from hdmi to dvi.. how do i tell if the card is using vga or windows generic drivers (when in full windows?) thanks

so would i need to take the casing off to identify the memory, or can this be done with gpu-z or similar? in safe mode atm so gpu-z wont work, but i could uninstall the ati drivers and boot into fulll windows.. thanks

so is it logical to conclude that if the Win 7 drivers work, then its software and not hardware? i dont specifically recall if there were any windows updates which coincided with the start of the problems.. but that's possible i guess. thanks

thanks I didn't change any settings in the bios i flashed with.. would damaged ram chips still allow the card to operate without the ATI drivers?

thanks for the response - will report back after trying the other PCIe slot
