Hi all

I wrote on here a while back about all the problems i was getting with my 5850, wich included the graphics card fan reving up and down for 20 seconds before post, also texture problems and game crashes.

My mother board was a gigabyte m720-us3 and i had tried other graphics cards wich worked fine, wich led me to belive it was the graphics card as many other people with different mother boards where experiancing the same problems.

Today i finally get around to printing out my rma form when i notice there is a new bios update for my motherboard, i updated the bios and low and behold now i boot into post within 2 seconds.

I have yet to see if the game crashes, texture problems has been fixed

But shows that there must be a problem with this new cards and certain motherboards
