Post the rest of your system specs including the power supply make and model. Also check your system temps both idle and under load and post them.

And your temperatures?

I can already tell you the builder series from corsair isn't very good at all and could easily be the problem. Probably worn out from powering the 4850. And in turned ruined the 4850 which is why it doesn't work in other computers.

Seeing as the card doesn't work in other machine you probably just wrecked it using that power supply.

No, i got it from friend the video card, it worked for him but he got GSOD one time playing, and the card messed up , and that power supply is more than enough, as i ran two GPU's on it... one of them was 4850 other one dont remember but it used about 100W

Temperatures 40 idle 56 load

it may have been enough in the short term,but drawing to much power shortens their life

i would be running a 650 tx,hx with it

I still need a way to fix it, tried flashing new bios, but it doesnt work at all now It just shows black screen, and nothing, sometimes when i had to chose to start windows normaly taht text appeared, but with so manny dots.. almost couldint read it... And i chose start windos normaly and i heard windows boot up sound but i saw just a black screen... And i forgot to make a back up of my Bios.... But still you could suggest what to do no.. maybe Oven ?

If you got a bad Bios flash you could have trashed the Mobo.
The 500W Corsair is a "decent" PSU and may have been OK for one GPU for a short time but it's certainly not sufficient for two GPU's.

You also need to learn alot more about power supplies before you continue

Still, I really need help to fix this video card, i flashed the bios, but i forot to make backup so everything is messed up cuz the bios doesnt work... Any help to get the old bios back ?

If you flashed the wrong video bios to a videocard then you bricked it.

Its the right one, but it just dont work,

Try the GPU in another PC to insure it's still functional.

Tried, doesnt work, i need to find the same video card as this one, and get the bios taht as before, i downloaded force3d h4850 512mb, but i guess it wasnt correct...

You may not understand this but when you install the wrong bios on a video card then that's it. There is no reset switch or way to change it back , the card is bricked.

Hmm... But it should have been the correct bios, so maybe just some settings are wrong... ;( I dont really want to ive up so fast, as this is the most powerfull card i have ever had... its like maybe 5 times better then the one that i have now...

Kompiuteri

This is the card that i have, but the page is in Lithuanian... In my country new card like this cost about 147$, and its massive money for me...

If the card doesn't work in two different pc's after you flashed an incorrect bios then it's bricked , not sure what else to say.

This is why you never touch a gpu bios.
