I started a flashing my 5850 using latest atiwinflash with edited clocks (tested for artifacts in ati tray tools) in RBE. But it stuck for like 15 min with no progress moving. Keys not responding and mouse also stopped moving after some time (did for like first 10 min). Is it normal?

You shouldn't be using WinFlash as far as I know. Before I knew better I used WinFlash on my 3870's. One worked, the other locked up as yours did. I always use ATiFlash on a bootable USB drive.

I did a reset in the end, and luckily it didn't brick... instead I made 900/1250 mhz 5850 on default voltage and cooling :)

Click to expand...

Nice, that's what my crossfire 5850's are most comfortable with. I love it :) , I get over 120FPS in some maps in BFBC2 it's amazing (vs 65 FPS on normal BIOS)
