OK, new idea. I put a tiny video card (nvidia, no power cable) in the primary slot. I put this 290 in the secondary slot. I used DDU (the driver cleaner). Then I downloaded atiwinflash, and flashed with the rom I got from DrMrLordX. It said sucessfully flash, but it locked up afterwards (I saw the message, but the mouse was frozen). So I powered down by holding the power button, and powered up and installed the drivers, and still NOTHING ! I give up. 2 paperweights.

Sooooo. I tried the OTHER card. In "default bios" mode is was displaying something in furmark, but locking up. So, I made it the second card, and atiwinflash'ed the bios. Then after many reinstalls with errors (atikmdag.sys caused it) I finally get the drivers installed. Now when I run furmark, it says "opengl 2.0 graphics controller required" or something like that, and F@H locks up on connecting.

Any ideas ?
