If its not a hardware problem, maybe your Vista driver got messed up swapping the card in and out. Try and run Driver Clean or what ever they call it in safe mode. I just got over a strange problem with my 4870x2 myself. To make the story short I was trying to get my xspc block I got to even post before it overheated, after 4 trys of bleading my darn loop and jacking around with the block I put the stock block on and all was well again. Later computer was doing a Vista update and my card died.. or at least I thought. Found out that my DVI port in my monitor died after using the VGA port on it. Ordered a Heatkiller block For it and I have had no problems for the last two months. (except for my dead DVI port on my monitor). Hope you get it fixed I know the feeling.
