Hello every one, I just bought a pair of this bad boys and they are great!, B U T ...
No matter what I do I cannot succesfully flash their bios.
I used the -unlock command (because their are locked) I succesfully unlocked and apparently flashed them, to a moderate 950/1100 OC without touching the volts but adjusting the fans and no matter how I try, when I get back to windows I get a BSOD from atikmdag.sys.
This is the stuff:
The cards where installed on Windows 7 Ult. x64 with their original bioses and they run great. After a lot of testing I decided to settle on a 970/1150 OC with a slight increase in voltage from 1.175 to 1.187 (the value I got from using trixx) and to tune the fans a bit.
I flashed using ATIFlash (dos) with no problems at all but as soon as I boot into windows BSOD.
If I uninstall ATI drivers and let windows see the card as a standard VGA card, no problem but as soon as I put the drivers back BOOMM BSOD.
Do I have to reinstall windows to make them work??
I did erase the drivers with DriverSweeper in Safe Mode if you're asking, and no, it is not my first time flashing bios on a graphics card. I did it on a Sapphire HD 5830 recently too with no issues, had done it with Nvidia in the past too.
Any ideas??
BTW running Win7 x64 and Catalyst 11.2

the problem is that with windows up and running uninstalling the Catalyst drivers doesn't seem enough for it to see the cards with the new bios.
