I just appeared to have burnt my Radeon some how.
I was running it at 204/204mhz which it's been at for month's (Retail version w/ 5.5ns RAM and base clock of 183/183, lots of case fans), while watching some late night TV, everything locked up, so I rebooted and would only boot to background then freeze.

I tried new drivers, removing other cards, etc. The only way it will boot is if Troubleshooting / Hardware Accelleration is NONE. One indent up and freezes. I also tried it in a different computer, same. Does this mean likely cooked (weird it still runs fine un-accellerated, but no TV, DVD or Games).

Also I heard there was faster versions of the Radeon now (5ns Ram, some 198mhz base clock!), anyone know how to identify these by the box (at store without looking at RAM)???
