It could be a Bad BIOS flash, but normally when this happens the card doesn't even run.
It could be the card is dying.
It could be your PSU. Even though it powered the card before you were probably maxing it out. Now it has aged enough and can no longer support the card.
You power supply is probably on its last leg.
I could not even boot my X1900XTX with a Neo550. Had to get a 650 watt Enermax to boot
my PC with that card.
The only other choice other than this would be the drivers again. It is possable. ATI drivers are very picky and easy to corrupt. I would say try the drivers one more time.
Remove old drivers and "unistaller tool" with Add/Remove programs
Run a windows "Search:" for ATI and delete all drivers found.
Defragment HDD
Reboot PC
Install new drivers from ATI site.
Reboot and try again.
If doing this Step by step as described does not solve it either the card is dying or the PSU is on its way out.
Ok i will try the driver stuff tommorow...gettin tired of it.
I have another random PSU. Can i get it to somehow to power the GPU ONLY? and use the current PSU to power everything else?
EDIT:
Make the extra PSU like a Dedicated PSU for Video card Only?
