    Ati 4850 Powercolor Does it need flashing or flash MOBO??

    in General overclocking

    Posted

    I don't want to be a crashing bore so ill get to the point-

     

    I have a 4850 ATI Power color Card for 1 year with no problems but very recently problems have developed.

     

    Symptoms:

     

    The Display Driver Crashes as soon as Catalyst software is pushed up to 1200MHz/700MHz complete system failure blue screen and then auto restart.

     

    System Only runs now at Default stock 950MHz/625MHz

     

    PSU is CIT 700w here is a link to is http://www.scan.co.uk/products/750w-...dual-12v-rails

     

     

     

    Possible points i have heard about?

     

    * Is Power supply Amp powerful enough (if so how was it able to run for so long with no problems?

    * Failure PCI-E Port Mother board is Less then 4 moths old Here is the Board http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=2960#ov

    * Driver Failure

    * Random Ram errors causing cascade effect through system 1 yr old Ram.

    * Corruption from Microsoft Update errors

     

     

    What i have done so far

     

    * Ran the system with individual Ram cards in to see if i can isolate the BSOD problem

    * complete reneawal of 4870ati card + mobo

    * 6x Reinstaled OS 64Bit

    * 2x Ubuntu 64Bit

    * Complete removal of hardware cleaned and electrostaticaly discharged

    * 3dr party software to find drivers or delet damaged drivers

    * arfter system faluiare o/s needed to be started in low rez mode just to be able to restart the system to uninstall catlyest to then start all over again.

    * I have installed from version 8 to latest version driver software.

    * there has been no change to the symptoms it has stayed constant throught.

    * Flash the bois

    * Flash the mobo
