System Specs

i used a program called WinFlash 2.0.0.2a. This was current as of the beginning of feb so i dont know if there are updates. The A denotes a vista only version so if you have vista look for the A version if not dont use the A version. The bios i used was a sapphire version so my card now shows up a sapphire in GPU Z. Ill get back here later, i gotta go now. GL.

System Specs

I had the exact same problem the my X1950 Pros. In this case HIS had clocked the cards incorrectly (way above what their box said), and since the temperature to fan speed ratio in the bios was too low the cards would hard lock at 65c. Which, btw, at 65c, the fans wouldn't go above 50%.

It's been a while, but I think I used atiflash to dump the bios, Rabit 2.2.1 to edit the fan speeds (in particular that the fan would jack up to 75% if the card hit 55c, 100% at 60c, otherwise it'd stay at 50%, and to be safe I clocked the cards back a bit to the box rate. Then I used atiflash to flash the firmware back. After that the cards ran perfectly with not one issue.

Well, my mainboard and memory will be here tomorrow sometime and I will start swapping out parts. I was taking a closer look at the X-FI sound card I bought and thought it might be a good idea to check for 64-bit drivers. I checked Creative's website and cannot find any 64-bit drivers. Would anyone know where I can find them?

The sound card is a X-Fi Fatality Xtremegamer Pro Series sound card.

Yes, I'm afraid I have. I'm looking at the box as I type these words.

The sound card is a X-Fi Fatality Xtremegamer Pro Series sound card.

Just use Daniel K's Unofficial Drivers for the X-fi, they work great for Windows Vista 32bit/64bit:

Here's the link:

X-Fi Vista Support Pack v2.15.0004 Driver SBXF_VTDRV_LB_2_15_0004A

Good luck!
