7900 GS with GTX Bios- Gone wrong!

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
A few months ago, I flashed my 7900 GS with the ISO disc from here and got incredible results. It would get a little hot, but nothing too severe and kept it. The video card doesn't like the flash anymore. I get blue-screens all of the time and get artifacts while playing videos! I reformatted my computer thinking that it might be something with the OS but it still does the exact same thing with a fresh copy of XP and laptopvideo2go drivers. I dual-boot UBUNTU and the Ubuntu install does the same thing! I can't play videos for petesake! I get weird polygon shapes whenever I play games, and after like 5 minutes of playing anygame, I get artifacts then a bluescreen. Games that used to be able to run before the flash without a problem.

So I guess what I want to do is figure out to get back to the original BIOS before all of the overclocking madness. I have looked through a lot of the threads but after reading like 20 out of 80 pages of threads, I couldn't find anything. Please help!

The card is dying it seems. I doubt reflashing will help.

It's time to call Dell, or get GTX.

I still have the 7800 gs that I originally had in the computer still. So I can switch back to that if I need to. But before I do that, I want to reflash this one back to the origal bios to make sure. No reason to have a 7800 in when I could reflash this one and it might be fine.

I have all the rom's in my signature under dell roms. Assuming you know how to tell if you have a rev0 or rev1 card and you know how to make bootable media, these will suffice.
