What version are you using? Are the gpu drivers installed?


Thats good in all but 90-97% use Windows still
He's using a bootable USB freedos, just as easy could be using live linux distro, some AMD cards are locked though have managed to do it in the linux version in minutes

I know about that already.

3.2 of AMDVBflash doesn't just use -f anymore.

Enter -? Or /? After ati to see command list

Looks like a bad ROM chip! Because even with just the "-i" parameter, it reports a failure.

Ok, I'm curious now as to the history of this card, did you buy it in this condition? I think either option could work, programmer maybe the easiest
