I recently purchased a flashed AMD 7970 which I'm thinking is faulty. It was working for the first week or so but now when I power on my mac pro 2,1 I get the normal boot chime but the screen only wakes up for a couple of seconds and goes back to sleep..that's it. Can't get it to display anything on the screen.

I tried a different screen, different video outputs, reseating the card, reseating memory, reseating memory riser cards and haven't been able to get it to go.

Unfortunately I don't have another video card on hand to test with. I'm seriously considering buying another card but obviously don't want to do this if the behaviour I've described doesn't sound like a faulty video card.

Hoping someone can help?


Thanks in advance.
