My only experience with Sapphire is with a x1900XT. I had one card that had a
terrible high-pitched "whine" (not fan noise). I RMAed it after several months
only to find the replacement had the whine too, so I just ignored it. Then that
card died about a year later. Switched to an 8800GT and hav

Do a full uninstall/cleaning of the anything ATI driver related, then install the
oldest driver that will support your card.
Assuming that works, backup and upgrade cautiously!

card and/or supported SLI on X48's,
