Default Flashing Nearly Costed my Graphics Card
I had a 9200SE I bought from CompUsa since for some reason CompUsa manufactored the card so the bios was diffrent. When using the Flash tools to Flash it to a Sapphire 9200SE it nearly costed the loss of my whole graphics card bios and setup. Luckily I had a System Restore point to fix it. If your ever going to flash make a restore point you never what will happen. Other than that becareful.

How could you fix that with a system restore point? You would need to backup your original BIOS before the flash and use a PCI graphics card if a flash went bad. Did you have a bad driver install or something? I am really confused as to what happened

yea a system restore point would do nothing if you messed up your BIOS
