Sapphire 4870 issue - fixed


Banquo

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

I was having problems running BS for a while and finally found a fix so wanted to let everyone else know. Apologies if this has been posted before but a search did not throw this up.

 

Symptoms: I would happily be running BS but after an hour or so my PC would freeze and I would get a screen full of squares and have to manually reboot. Sometimes it would be quicker. I initially thought heat but that was not the answer.

 

Resolution: I had an ATI Sapphire 4870 512mg card. It needed its bios updating. Take a look at the following thread.

I would strongly recommend anyone updating their graphics card bios to do it through DOS outside of windows as you may end up turning your graphics card into a brick.

 

Hope this helps

 

Happy flying :pilotfly:
