    So it was a faulty bios flash by end-users after all. Was the most logical thing. I really can not understand why people were so eager to blame it all on the GDDR5 chips and Qimonda especially.
    They got the same crap before with the 8800 GT's, then it turned out to be the poorly vrm's put on the 8800 GT's by nVidia. Yet, here we go again blaming Qimonda... sigh

    thumbs up for W!zzard for the quick fix!

    And a big thanx for Dave for clearing things up
