Did I kill my AIW 8500?

Hi,
I got a 1800 XP running on a k7s5a motherboard, 128 + 512 crucial 2100 ddr ram. I got bored and flashed my motherboard with the overclockers bios. I was playing with trying to up the fsb to get some extra power out of my cpu. The highest fsb i took it to was 143/143. Now my ATI card can't do any 3d graphics. I used to be able to run 3dmark03 and have it get thru test and if the fsb was too high it'd fail. But now when i run 3dmark03, it starts getting screen glitches during the loading screen of test one. then it just locks up.

any insight would be appreciated.
 
clear cmos/bios
it works miracles at times

that wasnt a very high agp bus.....maybe aiw is super sensitive? (never had one, so dunno)

did you oc vidcard?
maybe change drive strenght (i dont rememebr "optimal" for ati.....i remember nvidia was EA, but ati dont remmber, maybe google for it?)
 
Thanks for all your help,

I took out the aiw 8500 and put in the regular aiw radeon and everything worked. Then i put the aiw 8500 back in, it autodetected it and dxdiag and 3dmark worked again. I guess it was driver problem. I got 3dmark03 loop till tommorrow. If it crashes, it goin back to compusa.
