What could be wrong with my GPU and is there any hope of fixing it?

And I am not sure how to flash the card. I tried RBE and ATIWINFlash but ATIWINFlash wouldn't load and said something like 'could not locate resource file'
 
I have made the decision to give up on the GPU.
It will be sold on for spares/repairs.
 
... Guys.

Is it possible that this HD5870 is a Mac Pro version and that's why the drivers don't work?

Are there any physical differences? This card has a massive extended backplate on it with a handle type thing at the end. I have only seen that on Mac Pro models.

Ignore the XFX logo, that isn't meant to be there. There was an ATI sticker there.

*edit* ah, no it isnt. But I can't find a picture of a 5870 with this backplate on it anywhere.
