Request: PowerColor Radeon X800 GTO BIOS... - 2006/09/16 05:50 Hi everyone, I'm from South America and I'm writing this request because of the following... About a month ago I bought in the US a PowerColor Radeon X800 GTO for my new rig. Everything was working fine until 4 days ago when playing F.E.A.R. my video died. At first I saved the game and suddenly started seeing things in black, like if there where no textures being loaded. After that I decided to restart the game. Everything okay, but after 15 minutes the video feed got corrupted. No clear image was visible. The only thing I could see where little squares that changed color as they blinked...

So I decided to restart the entire system but no luck. Same blinking squares. If anybody wants to, I can upload a picture from my cellphone so you can take a look at what I mean by blinking squares. Since I live in South America and RMA is not so easy for me so I'm trying to fix it with the obvious things. I don't know if the problem if maybe a corrupted BIOS, so I'm making a bootable diskette with a batch file to reupload the BIOS to the card and see if that does the trick...

That's why I' requesting the BIOS... The card is a PowerColor Radeon X800 GTO with Hynix memory. If maybe any of you has a clue of what happened and knows what to do then please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Re:Request: PowerColor Radeon X800 GTO BIOS... - 2006/09/16 11:22 Well I don't believe it will be the BIOS as you can't corrupt the BIOS by just using and playing games. You can only corrupt it when you did some flashing or tried to update the BIOS and it went bad. But than again I could take a look at the yoru BIOS on your card to see if therr is something wrong. So backup the BIOS on your card and attach it on this thread and we can take it from there.

Re:Request: PowerColor Radeon X800 GTO BIOS... - 2006/09/16 19:47 I cant backup it up since i cant see. The pc loads but theres no image i cant see (only blinking squares). As soon as i turn it on i get corrupted vision and blinking squares. I know windows isloading 'cuz I can hear the drive moving and the windows login sound but that it.

What i was planing was making a bottable diskette with a batch file (.bat) that could run at the startup and upload the bios. I'm gonna try and do that with FlashRom but as I told you... its only an idea, nothing says that it will work so...

I've already thought about the bios not being the reason but... it worth a try.

If RMA it is gonna cost me the same as buying a new card then... I'm gonna have to buy another one for 2 times the price of one in the U.S

That why I'm requesting the Bios from another Powercolor x800GTO with hynix memory
