When i unlocked my benq (using power supply from my xbox360,using jungleflasher,VIA 6421 sata card drivers installed,portio32 drivers installed,.net framework 2.0 installed)why did my computer start acting up?(It would freeze like every 5 seconds)So I continued flashing fearing i would loose my key.(I didnt) My write verify failed.I hooked everything back up,played a back up copy of one of my games to see if i messed up my drive(Benq drive)and it played. Will this(write verify failed)bite me in the butt later on or did i just get lucky?

In that it says dvd key is 77777777777777777777777777777777, thats a bad key. If everything plays ok and you dont have a backup of the orginal good key then i would say your 1 lucky person

So why is my computer acting up when i push benq unlock?(O ya i did save my origanal)

Where it shows the key of all 7's, thats on the target firmware (ixtreme) prior to spoofing the source to the target. This is normal.

You are using a VIA 6421 to flash with, which for whatever reason, the driver for that card and jungleflasher doesn't really get along very well.

If you are using the VIA 6421 exclusively for flashing, meaning there is nothing else connected to that card, then I would suggest disabling the drivers for the card by doing this.

1. In device manager, disable the card.
2. Go to the driver, usually x:\windows\system32\viamraid.sys and rename the file to something like viamraid.bak
3. Go back to device manager and renable the card. Should show up with a yellow exclamation mark after re-enabling it.

Try flashing again.

THANX YOU GUYS!!! It was my VIA drivers.Follow the steps from COFEE!

SORRY!!! I meant SADALIUS!!!!!

No problem man. Glad you got it sorted. Just keep in mind that if you want to run anything else off that card, you'll have to either re-enable the driver by repeating the procedure above and renaming it back to viamraid.sys or just reinstall the driver all together.
