Hello. My problem: A few days ago i discovered wierd system crashes through display artifacts or black screens. It all stopped after I replaced my MSI 270x with my old 4850. Guys on a different forum suggested me to flash a new bios into my card and I did it because of my hesitation. However I want to send the card on a warranty, but did I void it so far by using atiwinflash? I don't know that myself, so I tried to flash my old backed up bios with this program, but it freezed the system, so I had to reset during the process and now I can't even load my desktop, cause of blackscreen and strange speed up from the gpu cooler. Help please!
270x crashes the system, bios issues

why yes... your real close to a paperweight now to me that just a silly thing to do unless it was an old that i just wanted to play with and had a better back up to replace it with.. and your issue may have been a simple one ..
I placed the card again, and it asked me this time, if I want to reset CMOS to default, I pressed F1 to do it, and it came back to normal, meaning the system starts up but the crashes still appear. Do I have to flash my backed up bios or can I send it on a warranty as is?

it may go back to where you want it any bios flash is at your own risk and can brick something quick.. you can do as you feel is right as far as sending in, and they will look at it and they determine if it under warrantee and fix it for free or send you a bill to repair it plus shipping.. just face the fact you goofed and now got to pay the piper
