...So I figured my X800 Pro VIVO was starting to show it's age and I might as well flash the BIOS to the XT PE version as detailed here - before doing this I removed the stock cooler and replaced it with a Zalman VF700 AlCu, then clocked the card to XTPE speeds using ATITool - ran it at that for 3 hours and all looked to be fine. I then made the boot disk with the XTPE BIOS and flashed as per instructions - this seemed to go through fine (though I flashed to FLASHROM.ROM rather than .BIN as that was the format it came in...)
To cut to the chase I now have a card that won't initialise - the fan is spinning up etc but my machine will not pass POST. And here's where you guys come in...
Is there ANY was you can think of that I can flash it back? Do people have any tips on the upgraded BIOS? Did I use the wrong BIOS? I can confirm that the card is a Sapphire X800 Pro VIVO with 1.6ns RAM. Any help that anyone could provide would be VERY appreciated, as there's no way I can afford another card for at least another 6 weeks, which will largely annoy the hell out of me as I've just put another 60 day game card on my WoW account.
Anyways, I'll stop rambling and see what you lot say
