BIOS Flashing problem

No_Style · Jun 28, 2002, 03:29 PM

When I flash ANY BIOS except my very own modified 7.006 BIOS I cannot see my screen. It becomes entirely distorted with lines and stuff. I have to type blindly and watch my A drive's light to see when I can flash my default one back. I've tried every possible BIOS and it does the EXACT same. 7.006 Retail, 7.004, 7.008. Help?

Well with the short yet informative reply from Cyborg, I checked around the FTP of SapphireTech and found 7.008 BIOS. To my amazement when I flashed it...IT WORKED

I then began O/C ing the card. I could get the memory beyond 252 now without artifacts

But unfortunately it's only up to 261 Mhz. Oh well every little bit counts.
