Greetings.
Should have left well enough alone. Tried flashing my 4870x2 bios
and now I have a complete shutdown on my system. The ATI flash
tool I use wouldn't take the latest version. I went down the list thinking
maybe you have to flash in a progressive manner. I did get it to flash
the older version, and then the next newest one took as well.
I believe where I made the mistake is when it prompted me to reboot
the system, I should have flashed the slave too, before I rebooted.
I believe one must flash both master AND slave before you reboot.
I was doing one at a time.
When I fired up the screen was all pixelated and doing goofy stuff.
The system eventually crashed. Crap. So I pulled the card to boot
with the onboard video and the system won't even post. Now what?
Any advice? I've succesfully flash mobo bios before, just never a dual
GPU. Lesson hard learned I suppose.
Thanks.
