Well, I cant do much above stock without it freezing for a lil while, or coolbits telling me stupid stuff. But I was changing some video BIOS settings which is bad for these reasons. 1) I was using a new program to me, and 2) I dont have a PCI card on hand.

Well, lets just say that it didnt like one of the flashes that I fed it... so... I was lookin at a blinking LED on my monitor. I rebooted again and went from memory, all the commands needed to flash it to a bios that I know is valid. Phew! Got it back up and runnin, tho I think i will just stick with my crappy card till i get some money. Plus, if I get the job at Best Buy, I may be able to get a sweet discount! :p
 
I had a flash go wrong on my previous FX5900se which killed it. Good thing a friend was selling his old 5900se cheap :) .

Have you learnt your lesson of not flashing a SE to a 5950U?
