hi all,
Have a question maybe someone ,anyone can help?Even if you never flashed a card before I'm up for theory. I got a good solid 6950 Visiontek reference 2gb. video card except no video output ,it has a very bad flash from someone who didn't know which way was up.(I think I stuck my foot in my mouth saying I can fix it.)I plugged the card in with an old nvidia pci card and booted up. The visiontek shows up in device manager and with gpu-z so I know it's not fully fried, but everything is off, instead of 800mhz. it reads zero (0) and the temp is way above melting point plus most of the other readings are off except it does show it as a Cayman chip and it's a 6950 but not much more, All I get is a bright blue screen from it ,not black ,not bsd but bright blue (strange).
I tried a re-flash to the original bios with no luck,tried flashing a 6970 that I used before still the same.I have done maybe 50 flashes without a major hitch or something that a back to stock bios then reflash didn't cure, fixed a few also , but never ran into one that couldn't be fixed.Yet! Anyone know of an atiflash command to erase the Bios completely so I can start fresh. It has the dual Bios switch but I get no response from it either, fan runs great though and nice and quiet ,card looks almost new? In win 7 it reads no resources being used because card has a problem no. also says one or more files for this card are corrupt ,( tried uninstall and reinstall of drivers)ran complete scan with 3 different anti-virus programs, nothing bad but a few cookies. I tried everything and am willing to try "Anything"! And I mean at this point anything short of pouring ketchup all over it. No seriously ,Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thank you
frank
