    Usually, uninstalling and reinstalling with the 6990M active will bring it back to life. I think it sometimes gets confused by the switchable graphics setup in the R3.

    No GPU-Z is not recognizing the 6990 and in device manager there is no driver for the 6990. I must have messed something up when I repasted the card. I tried 3 more times to no avail. Called Dell they are sending me a new card. Hope I don't get a Lemon

    Yup and I've done it many times before, I don't have a clue as to what I could have done to brick my card with a repaste :mad:

    Damn, that sounds wierd.. Did you tell DELL that you repasted it? :D
    Sure there didn't get any dust or something to your PCI-Slot?
