[@ericnantel3694]

Very informative and straight to the point Video, Thanks. Quick Q - What about the Bios switch, do i need to flash the bios in both positions ?

[@MartyUlrich]

I believe the BIOS switch is a safety switch that is there to prevent or allow changes to the BIOS, so when flashing make sure it is enabled.

[@jboy1757]

the BIOS version on my current GPU is xxxD2; the TechPowerUp BIOS is xxxD1. Should I concern myself with the BIOS difference if everything else (i.e. Device ID, Memory Type...etc) is the same/aligns?

[@lem09able]

Ok, I loaded a ROM that seems to be not the one my GPU needs. I have a saved backup of the original bios it came with(bought from miners) how do I flash it back to it? The problem is that the monitor gets no signal from the GPU, I tried plugging the monitor to the motherboard and still nothing. When I remove the GPU, the PC works again using the onboard graphics. I have: msi b450m pro vdh max mobo Ryzen 5 2400g(with built in graphics) How do i get it back to before? Edit 1: I have managed to enable the onboard graphics while the non-working GPU is plugged in due to some MSI bios changes which forces the PC to choose the onboard graphics as the primary. I get the error code 43 in dxdiag like you do when you showed the wrong bios flashed. Problem is, when I want to use the flashing tool, it only shows my onboard graphics and not my rx 580. How do I proceed now? How do I choose the rx 580 as the one who needs a reflashing of bios? It only shows my vega 11 onboard graphics card. Edit 2: Never mind, I fixed it. After the steps I did in edit 1, I just had to open the flashing tool again and load image the backedup bios Rom. Then program, then restart and reset the motherboard bios settings back to default so it would then automatically choose the discrete GPU(rx 580) on start up. Then removed the hdmi from my motherboard and reconnected it to the GPU again. This is for people who freaked out thinking they bricked their GPU permanently.

[@MartyUlrich]

Thanks for workin through that!

[@sebastiandresilva]

Hi! I was having the same trouble not being able to force my vega graphics with my rx 570 plugged in, but I followed your steps from edit 1 and finally managed to do so. The problem I'm facing now is that each time I try to go back again i to the BIOS utility to reinstall my backup file, my computer completely freezes after clicking on "run as admin" on ATI flash utility. Did you experience the same problem? If so, did you find any solution for that?

[@HardWhereHero]

very useful considering that the card eont even work for gaming now that AMD put something in the drivers to prevent it from working if the bios has a mod. You can download a earlier driver version. They made the change around the time forza 5 launched, so if you download the game ready drivers for the forza 5, I am pretty sure that you can game on the mining bios. The lower GPU core is not helping these cards. We need to get them all flashed back so us gamers can FINALLY use them.

After the benchmark crash, then my problems began. I tried to reinstall the drivers but the PC kept restarting. When it restarts, it freezes during the windows boot screen. The PC turns in fine without the nvidia drivers, but immediately I try to install drivers then it stops in the middle and restarts and freezes. What could be wrong with my Asus Strix GTX980ti

[@jc6065]

Bro please help me I tried flashing it now my pc wont boot up :(( im using a RYZEN 5 3600

[@MartyUlrich]

Do you have integrated video in your motherboard or a 2nd PCIE slot? Sometimes you load the wrong ROM and you can't boot the computer. It's probably actually booting up all the way to the login, but you can't see it since the GPU is bricked. To un-brick you need to plug the monitor into another video port either on the motherboard or another card. Go back and try again - look very carefully at the ID, memory clock speeds, and brand of memory. All must match what GPUz displays. Flash again. I had to flash a couple of mine 2 or 3 time to find the correct one.

Some graphics cards have a manual switch that must be activated first before it will accept the ROM. I know some versions of the RX580 had this... there was a jumper you had to move in order to edit the BIOS. Just research your model or see if you can find such a BIOS switch.

[@adrianbreganaku8336]

I have a 1050ti i must dowhload nvflash for to found it and to flash it

[@Maximusprimeatyahoo]

Hey Marty I'm trying to flash the V Bios on my Radeon7 on my Hackintosh is there a way I can do it on a Mac? my windows machine won't boot with the Radeon7 installed Thank you in advance.

[@MartyUlrich]

I think you'll need a compatible video card to boot Windows, with the R7 installed alongside. I am not aware of a Mac version of the TechpowerUp software, but check their site!

[@Maximusprimeatyahoo]

Marty Ulrich I figured it out and got it done, you really was a big help thank you my friend

[@lonewolf9188]

i'm trying to unbrick my zotac 3090 Ti , it has dual bios but no switch. can you explain how i can reflash the bios, i've been looking everywhere but still no fix. I'm using another gpu to boot up the pc for now

[@MartyUlrich]

That's literally what I did in this video; I explained how to do exactly that.

[@xanxusvaria8492]

Its saying that I have that Bios already installed the one I found online? I am confused now so isnt my gpu a mining gpu, since like someone else told me that mine is probably a mining gpu?

[@krishnakarma6166]

Hello sir great video can you help me with this please I brought a used card online and every thing wents fine till i get error code 43 in device manager and when I checked on gpu-z its showing bios as unknown also speed and every thing is showing n/a what should I do please help me sir (btw my card is zotac gtx 1060 amp)

[@MartyUlrich]

In your case you're going to just have to flash all the possible BIOS ROMs for that card until it works... however, I have never encountered that and it's probably safe to say, the card is hosed... sorry brotha

My shit broke and I don't see any physical signs of damage. I have a Sapphire Nitro plus 470 ... Doesn't display any more ... Is there anything I can do? Im' guessing it's just a brick now (

[@MartyUlrich]

Well, there are a number of reasons it might have quit displaying, but you can find out by using your computer's onboard video if equipped... if not, find another board with an onboard video or plug in another good card alongside the bad one and follow the instructions in the video.

[@Sweg826]

how do you even get to learn about this stuff though

[@MartyUlrich]

Life long tinkerer... 8 years in IT. I learn out of necessity... and strangely enough, I learn best by making these videos. Seems teaching is the best way to learn!

[@MaveRick01]

I bought an artifacting GTX 780 that can't launch games but can chill in the homescreen and in youtube. Will flashing the correct bios on it fix it, even when the seller (probably) hasn't messed with the original bios?

[@nyto1333]

How did you fix that issue

[@gabrielsa-ong]

cant find bios for zotac rtx 3060 twin edge device id : 10DE 2487 - 19DA 2630 NEED HELP

[@maxlastbreath]

Could the bios of my gpu be ruining the performance it was running fine for a while, now it's running half of the speed it used to, tested on a different system, however yesterday it ran fine, the day before had that same problem and the day before it was running fine.

[@MartyUlrich]

I am not sure... but flashing certainly will not hurt it. There could be other issues causing that. The BIOS is but one factor.

[@maxlastbreath]

@@MartyUlrich hey update from the future, flashing the GPU+ fresh windows removed the issue! Thanks

[@3576alan]

Asus b250 mining expert? Say, I updated my motherboard bios, it worked and then went to black screen for over an hr when loading windows. I restarted and restored to an earlier point. It took several hours for Win10 to finally post. All my GPUs were "kicked off . Nicehash doesn't see the GPU'S and Afterburner crashes. Any suggestions? 1)manual driver load failed 2)Nvidia driver file dissapeared. 3)hr+ long black screens before posting 4)CPU 100% without running apps.

[@MartyUlrich]

That motherboard and/or CPU is hosed. I have another Asus B250 I can sell you that's un-opened still in the box. I never had too many problems with them myself, but I did nearly fry one. The ATX power terminal for the risers was all melted and burnt after running for a few months. I had some pretty significant power issues though too not related to the computer hardware itself.

[@3576alan]

@@MartyUlrich Figured it out. Bios switched all the pci-e slotscto gen1. Had to switch it back to auto and boom...all good. 😓

[@UAP23]

Gpu-Z says 'BIOS reading not supported on this device.' and then ATIFlash says 'Cannot find discrete ATI video card.' I guess I'm screwed... The GPU I'm trying to fix is an old RX570 4Gb used for mining. Tried running these programs through my onboard Ryzen 2400g output since the RX gives only black screen and the PC won't boot at all. By the way, both HWinfo and gpu-z read the discrete card although with incorrect clock speeds. Is there any hope for this card or should I just toss it in the bin and be done with it? :')

[@MartyUlrich]

I'm afraid it sounds like that card is hosed. Sorry man.

Hey Marty I follwed your steps for my rx570 and when I go find the bios on techpower up and download the rom I keep getting and P/N mismatch error and have no clue whats wrong or what I could be doing wrong.

[@MartyUlrich]

Double and triple check serial number, the brand of memory as well as the model. It must all match perfectly

what if no version matches ? ive got a rx 580 8gd mi

[@Sxandu2K]

I got rx 580 sapphire nitro 4gb, it has silent mode, but performance mod is modded for mining, when i tried to flash it, screen just froze, that happend first 2 times(i reset pc first time i waited half an hour and it boots up again without problem) on the 3rd try i got it to flash, when it froze for the first time, i though i bricked one bios. Do you know what could be the problem. Asking out of curiosity, it works now👌

[@MartyUlrich]

That's a first! Could be the computer you used or the card! Hopefully it was the PC and not a defunct card!

please i have problem my vga card K600 not working with drivers should i update the bios every time i setup nivdia driver ( ihave tried many versions old,new,,) some times work then after restarting i find that driver disbled and card not working i have search for soultion on the internt and nothing happen please can u help

[@MartyUlrich]

First, check the card using the Direct X diagnostic tool shown in the video. If it shows any errors, the wrong BIOS is installed. Make sure all numbers match up and when you load the correct one, run the Direct X diagnostic tool again and it will show no errors.
