well it wasn't the overclocking. because after i overclocked the vga it worked gr8. then i restarted and entered bios to overclock my cpu and when i went to play ut2004 it crashed. i tried increasing the voltages more and it crashed as well so i went back to bios and put the cpu back as it was. when i saw that it turned on and showed me on the screen "Gainward 6800GT VGA bios................." i turned off to plug in my cd rw. when i turned id didn't work.

so i guess that maybe the vga bios was being acessed and when i turned off the vga bios it got corrupted. the only problem is that i can't flash because the vga isn't found ( or maybe im doing a something wrong ). and guys is there any way to write on the bios chip without using software?? ( i.e. using somekind of hardware which reads and writes on bios chips )

To answer your question I would have to download NVFlash, put it on a floppy and look at it. Which I would do. But I'm not going to. It should say when you're in the program.
