Flash back to the original bios, or move the bios switch to the other position to see if it does the same thing. Always reboot between flashes

hey Tim, didnt the reinstall of drivers help ? or you didnt try flashing again ? you should, that was just the drivers stuck in 2nd gear
I'm going to build another rig today, but while I wait for windows to install, I plan to pull 2 of the cards and try the flash again. After flashing, I'll reinstall the drivers and see what happens.

Easy procedure, specially if using Winblows and atiwinflash.
No need to make a DOS boot disk (which can be a pain atm), and works just as good
- Download and run GPU-Z
- Extract the gpu bios using the button with a bios chip.
- Create an atiwinflash folder and extract its files there.
- Download and run VBE7 and open the extracted bios file.
- Go to the powerplay tab, and change the voltage you see in the last power state (one with highest clocks) to match the previous one.
- Save the bios with an easy to remember name and copy it to the atiwinflash folder.
- Open CMD as an admin.
- Go to atiwinflash's folder (you guys know DOS right? cd.. cd.. cd atiwinflash)
- Run the following command: atiwinflash -p 0 moddedbios.rom
- After that change the -p number to 1,2,3 or whatever, to flash your cards one by one. (it's safer to do it that way, but you can also try -pa which flashes all amd cards at once)
- Try mining at your usual settings, if it doesn't hang you can let it be or try lower. I just leave my R9 280X XFX cards at 1143mv and they mine happily at 738kh/s using 210w from the psu vs 250w.

Save time money and effort and use BAMT instead of windows!
Asic quality in the gpu chip itself can cause temp. differences too.
