Problem:
I can no longer detect my TV with the TV-out feature of my Asus A9800PRO/TVD/256M card (See http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=2&l2=9&l3=16&model=283&modelmenu=1 for my card details).
What happened:
I experienced that my screen would freeze every now and then at boot just before the Windows logon screen - apparently this has to do with the ATI chip doing some kind of a suspend. I read in some forum somwhere that this can be fixed by updating the bios on the card.
What I did:
I went to http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=A9800 Series and picked the BIOS update link and selected the v 1.0 BIOS update for my PAL card (exact link is http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/beta/vga/PAL.zip). I flashed from Windows and found the screen would freeze a bit less at startup, but now I have a new problem - I cannot see anything on my TV at all.
I removed and reinstalled the ATI drivers - thinking that perhaps the newer BIOS gave new chip id to some components etc - but still nothing on TV.
Kindly advise? I think it was the wrong bios... ATItool says I have R350 (not R360 for XT bios).
QUESTION:
What would be the BEST and latest BIOS for this card?
Current BIOS seems now to be:
