Hey guys,

I just got everything ready and followed the guide (http://forums.ocfaq.com/showthread.php?t=2755) exactly using Winflash to softmod my MSI 9800Pro 128 to a 9800XT. I have the R360 Core.

I loaded the BIOS to winflash and then told it to program. The screen went black as I believe it should and nothing happened for 10 minutes. The screen wouldnt show an image or anything. I then hit the reset button since the guide said to reboot the computer, I didnt know if I would have to do that or ATI tool would. Now my comp is dead and the video wont load.

Can I fix this in any way? I'm leaving for school saturday so I'm either going to have to order a new card or fix this in some way.

This is very important i get it taken care of soon.

Thanks, Adam

Do you have a PCI video card? If so, you can boot off the PCI video card (with the AGP card installed) and re-flash to the original BIOS that the card started with.

Yea I'm goign to the store now to get one. I'm going to make a bootable cd with the bios flashing utility and do it in dos this time.

I found a guide: http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/overclocking/vidcard/34

Which boot disk should I use so I can run the flash utlity? It has to be a bootable cd sicne I have no floppy drives.
