I tried both original BIOS for the card and the patched one from netkas. I can see, for example the boot screen and play some games like Bioshock, but this weird value for VRAM concerns me.


Also, after some hours playing a game, the screen freezes and the system restarts. It happens despite of the BIOS version (EFI or regular one). According to the sensors, CPU/GPU temperature looks okay.


With this in mind, I want to ask:


- Anyone here is having similar issues?

- Is there anything that I can do?


Thanks!
