So I decided to do the pencil volt mod to a 4850 I picked up to play with. I can load safe mode fine, and if I uninstall my display drivers, Windows loads fine. I only did the vGPU mod, not vMEM.
However, after installing the driver and rebooting, I get a display driver blue screen once the Windows loading bar is finished, and it complains about my display driver being stuck in an infinite loop. Does this make any sense to anyone? I also had issues modding my BIOS voltages which would result in blue screens on boot/display driver not responding in games. It seems really weird that I can load safe mode fine but it's the display driver that crashes the OS. I have uninstalled/reinstalled drivers and used Driver Cleaner.
Basically I'm wondering if I killed the card or if it just hates more voltage? Of course I'll try and erase the pencil marks when I get home today but I just wondered what you guys thought. Maybe I got a lemon of a card in terms of voltage but that seems awfully strange considering the results most people have with them.

Rest of specs un-important; system ran fine until vGPU mod
