Chew* are you still on a rev A board? If so does your American Megatrends bios include Ruby? I know it is a petty concern but we miss her.

This board needs a stinking new bios. One that does not shut off at high clocks with high voltages. One that is a bit more stable with higher mem speeds. One that shows that Sapphire and ATI cares hehe.

I would suggest Manta and use the leaked AMI bios. Both are great boards.

You will need to use F32A to flash because you will be going from a Phoenix bios to an American Mega Trends bios. As far as I know this can not be done from windows.
The command would be : F32A biosfilename.bin /b

You could use a DOS bootable USB stick to reflash the bios. You don't *have* to use floppy.
any normal usb stick would work?

Not anyone right now, the card is on RMA, my new PSU fried it and another board. Anyway, i was have been trying both betas and the one that came with the board. Think it's a bit bad that there is no support for this board. At least Sapphire should release any newer bios imo.
Doh!
didnt realize before now that i need a 8pin power instead of only 4pin.
Do i need an entire new psu or can i use it with only 4pin?

You can use it with the 4 pin for now. PC Power & Cooling told me it will make no difference. I upgraded anyway but it will work.
btw, I have the exact same Opty that you have in your sig. What chips are on your ram that you are using?

not the best start ive had with a board.
first time i rebooted, i got an error that windows didnt load succesfully or something. had to use the windows cd to fix it. just ran fixboot and it worked.
wouldnt care if it wasnt for that it happends 1\3 of the times i boot! argh.
though, it could be my pata-sata adapter on my disk...
Secondly, i put the innstallation cd that came with the board and got an error that it didnt support my MB... jeez, thats a new one!
i just downloaded the drivers instead.
third. now i got this error every time windows load, what is it? i hvae no yellow marks wich indicate that something isnt innstalled...
