Killed my 5900xt ???

[Winnoc]

Ok.

I bought a leadtek 5900XT with 128MB ram.
Great card, and i flashed it to a 5950 ultra after adding heatsinks to the ram.

Card worked great for two months, then i decided to try a flash back to 5900xt to see the difference.
Started with the bootdisk and wfflash.... the computer was backing up the orignal bios in saveold.rom adn then i had a powerout.......

Tried to reboot the system, wouldn't post.
Replaced the card and the computer booted.

Tried the card in a different computer and it won't boot either.


Now i have this bootdisk with autexec set to flash it, but i can't seem to do it, since every time the card is in a comp it won't boot.


Anny suggestions? 🙂

i belive you can boot with a pci video card with your agp still in there and then flash from there.
