I had a 7900gs runnig great in my rig with a decent overclock with voltmod and I switched over to water cooling put everything back together, start up my pc and i get this in vga mode and when windows goes to load the drivers the display goes black and shuts off. I got rid of the voltmod and reinstalled the drivers, but nothing changed. I must of toasted it from handling from installing the vga water block no water touched the card...

i have a 550 watt with 22 amps on rail 1 and 20 amps on rail 2 it worked fine for a while with a 1.5 volt to v core and 710 core clock 1600 on the mem ran like that for a while, never topped 65C load. I think it is toast sucks but it gave the high end nvidia cards a run for their money. Im getting a x1950xt now to hold me over till the 8900 comes out if it does.
