Well, nobody is so lucky, that means i was doing the right thing, simply because they're ALL stock speed Bios' made for 8800GT cards.
And despite a lot of them not made for reference cards they work, EVEN if one stops the card from working, i could blind flash it. The only way i could ruin the card is if the Bios was actually made for another 'core'.
Again, no-one is that lucky, and besides it's my card, and i do whatever i want with it, or am i wrong? I did NOT, and will NOT, ever recommend such a thing to anyone.
Anyway, as i've said before, the symptoms he's having are the same as mine, i tried everything, from lowering the voltage, increasing it, lowering the clock to lowest possible in RivaTuner, using modded drivers, cooling the card to 50c at max load possible by directing the A/C at it for 15 minutes before even starting any test, changing the timing of the RAM, man, i can't remember what else i tried, EVERYTHING. The only thing that worked for me was that Bios, how do you explain that?
If you're so smart as to criticize anyone just like that, and negate his work, then please explain to me how did i get it to work? (the reason for sarcasm is because you returned to the old explanations despite me telling everyone that non of that was the cause of the problem)
Of course before even trying the Bios i assume you tried everything error8 just told you, that's just logic. If that Bios doesn't work, then RMA it.
In the end, i have to say this ... when i received the email telling me that someone replied to my thread, i said to myself 'don't bother, you solved the problem already', but then my conciousness nagged me and told me ... 'what if someone is in the same trouble as you, RMAing won't work in most cases' (yes, some i know tried that), so, i just followed what my religion tells me ... 'love for others what you love for yourself', guess you have the same saying in your language.
EDIT: to explain the last paragraph, the part about the language ... I'm from Egypt.
