Has anyone with a Radeon 9800 (includes Pro) have corrupted BIOS screen or corruption when in Windows?
I had one where it had an intermittent connection.
Sometimes, when reseated in the AGP slot, it works fine for a real short time then the video corruption is back!
And then when I reseat it again, still the same type of crap!
Unfortunately, I trashed mine a long time ago, back in the same year I got it, because I didn't even get a chance to run any 3D before that started! I got mine second hand in 2007.
Is this a GPU defect? Seems that this was one of ATI's most failure prone cards!
And once, I almost made a full loop of 3D Mark 2001 SE. But when it almost completed a full pass, the video corruption crap started again! I think it was just random and nothing to do with 3D Mark stability.
It suspect it comes back as soon there's a vibration or any movement!
