4870x2: Corrupt Screen - Post / Bios

[Grimspoon]

Here's what I'm seeing

When I enter bios everything looks good:

However, after a few minutes in bios this happens:

I'm not sure if this is a video card issue or not. I posted in general hardware, but I'm concerned that this may be video card related - I'm not sure.

- I first noticed this last night, my computer crashed while playing L4D. I OC (3.8GHz) so I immediately reset bios to default after crash. The screenshots above is what I saw immediately after the crash. I have no odd corruption once I'm in Windows.

- The day before last, while playing L4D, my video card's MemIO sensor reported ~145C temp, and auto fan kicked in to compensate. No crash though.

- I'm using a modded bios for my motherboard.

Looks more like a corrupt bios. Those look like legit letters not artifacting. Not sure I would mention why you are running a modified bios.

I think I'm going to try flashing the official bios. Thanks for the input.

No problem.. that being a gigabyte board you might be able to go into the dual bios and load from the backup bios to see if it does it? Unless you modified it as well.

I just loaded up the latest bios from the Gigabyte website, F8d.

I actually saw corruption about 3/4 of the way through the bios flash process, but the process did complete successfully.

After that I cleared CMOS and the reset defaults - as I was resetting my preferences I saw the corruption again.

As it stands I'm at a loss. I'm wide open for suggestions.

I have seen that happen before... "Wet Supervisor password" haha

I'm wanting to say it was a video card issue, but it's been a while so I cant' remember exactly.
