My TNT is back form the dead!

About 1.5 - 2 months ago it died to all but 2D, no opengl and no Dir3D, this happened after a careless mishap in connecting a USB riser cable backwards to the motherboard and firing up the system (yeah, I know I'm a bone head)

I had replaced the card after testing it in two different systems to verify that it was bad. But today I decided to try a BIOS flash of the TNT - dusted it off, reinstsalled it, flashed it, and presto!! I have my TNT back. I did some gaming and so far it seems stable, but the temperature is kind of cool right now, so I will have to wait and see a while. I think that is what it was, just a corrupted video BIOS!!!! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif
