card died saving other vid cards as donor :D

[crashoveride54902]

Ya i know it won't be much mh/s but it already artifacts so why not try and squeeze some more life outta it but i just can't seem to get it to boot into win7...should i try XP? I hope linux isn't the answer because i have no clue how to use it...Ok so it'll boot to bios just fine..and when i switch it in from a working video card...it'll boot to win7 but then update drivers and want to restart...then once win7 trying to boot it'll bsod...i can boot to safe mode and delete the driver and have tryed a few drivers but upon restart all i get is a bsod...Thanks for any help...I also tryed putting it in my 3rd pcie slot as my first vid takes up 3 slots and it'll bsod too...

driver version? Is this a known working (artifacting) card?

I tryed the ati 4800 drivers...well it boots to bios with artifacting...so does that mean it's working?

Getting into the BIOS doesn't necessarily mean "working". I was meaning, (aside from artifacts) was it working whenever you removed it to install your new card?
On that note, what is your primary card? If nVidia, run driver sweeper in safe mode and remove all traces of graphics driver software.

I have 5870 running...then poped in 4850, booted to win7, it reinstalled drivers for it, restarted, bsod..took out and poped back my 5870 and it works just fine...is that what your talking about?

i can also not get my4850 running nor get ANY open cl driver working. a pair of 5750 and 5450 do work perfectly but i still have a slot left for the 4850 . i tried installing drivers with only the 4850 but open cl didnt install. had also trouble with installing open cl sdk on the 5750 and 5450

the card's probably dead.

You might try to "fix" it by underclocking the core or memory. Use atiflash to backup & flash your bios..

The person i bought this from had a aftermarket cooler on it and i don't think the vrms got cooled enough and one fryed...oh well no biggie, I've since used the card as parts to get other vid cards to work...
