Fixing a Bad BIOS Flash on the 4870

[Theta]

OK, then can I ask you how your 4 cards died?

Did you have them setup in CrossFireX? Also, did the cards die after a cold boot?

Please do note that this was all posted previously in this thread, but I will post it again for you...

Each set of 4870 HIS cards died shortly after being placed into CrossfireX mode, and exhibit the now famous no-post, 3-LED scenario.

So far, these were the only two sets that were put into CrossfireX.

Not flashed, not overclocked, not overvolted... So...

Back to the topic at hand. Hopefully there is an answer for this, because I just don't want to believe it's horrible QA related to 4870 Xfire.

After we hear back from W1z, I may just flash one of our tested working 4870s to see what happens.

Could CrossFire also have something to do with these dead cards?

I think that's the root cause for non-flashed deaths, looking at several posts from non-modded failures.
