It seems like my X800XT PE works properly only maybe 10% of the time. Nearly every boot results in severe artifacting, right in the BIOS. It seems like when I hold it into the slot just right, it works perfectly. Otherwise, the screen is a mess. Highly doubt that the motherboard is at fault, as a spare 8500LE works perfectly every time. Between the time I had it working perfectly and now, I had a waterblock with a massive amount of insulation, forcing there to be a huge amount of pressure between the board and the card. It's also been voltmodded, then...un-voltmodded...if that's a word, but voltage isn't an issue. It seems like something on my card is extremely delicate, and maybe has been damaged slightly in some way, but somehow works some time, but I can't see any physical damage whatsoever. If anyones got any ideas on how I could make it work all of the time, please shoot em.
