My attempt at Nvidia bios flashing!!

[@lastinline1958]

I only had the stones to try a BIOS flash once, when I put a normal BIOS on a chromebook.

[@dh2032]

how did that go? chromebook, any better as a not chromebook, ? was Linux OS you install, ?

Flashing the GPU VBIOS is relatively "safe"; you have the option to install and configure TeamViewer or any preferred remote access software, allowing you to attempt the GPU flashing process once more if it fails. This is possible because even with a faulty or corrupted VBIOS, the GPU can still boot to Windows, unlike the motherboard flashing which renders it useless in case of failure. (Unless you use EEPROM programmer or BIOS flashback, which not all motherboards have).

Commenting so people don't get held up strictly on this idea: Yes, flashing the gpu vbios is pretty safe. However, you should definitely have an igpu or a spare gpu because, in theory, remote software would work, however when drivers (especially nvidia drivers) notice something messed up, it likes to blue screen immediately, resulting in the inaccessiblity to use remote access software. Sometimes leaving the only real fix to go into safe mode with command prompt and reflash the backup.

i'd only mess with a bios if the card isn't functioning properly. otherwise it's not worth the risk. i've bricked a card even using the matching bios from techpowerup

[@megapet777]

damn.. I want to flash bios on my gpu because I cant undervolt it otherwise, but I was unable to even flash the updated bios which is meant for this card.. any tips what I should do?

[@codycastricone1284]

Thank you!

[@XxAtomic646xX]

you dont need a 2nd gpu to reflash a bad bios if you have a dual bios card. just boot with the good bios, then flip the bios switch while pc is on, then reflash a good bios

[@rod.roelgonzales69]

how about your dual bios also black screen? what to do? some help?

I did this not too long ago for the first time. Flash took and everything looked good after rebooting. But when I went to re-enable the graphics driver I had artifacting. after another reboot I noticed the driver was disabled again, so I re-flashed back to the original bios and never did it again.

My GTX 1650 seems to be flashing, but suddenly it crashes the blue screen and reboots the computer (I do it on the GTX 560 Ti because the 1650 sat down when I flashed the BIOS on it)

[@NinjaManZX10]

Thank you very much, after hours of suffering😵🤬 you gave me a solution!!! .✌😎

[@hetfeestcartel6769]

only if you have inegrtaed graphics you turn the display driver off????

Laptobuma GPU gücünü Yükseltmek için NVflas ile Rom Yükledim ama Geri Yüklemek İstiyorum orjinal Rom Bulamıyorum

[@Zigo560]

i get an error that the rom file can not be opened

[@PapaMav]

Luv updating the BIOS (for MOBOS)

[@garychios]

When I got to flash to the card, it says it cant read the rom. very weird

[@dmanpoole]

Hey brother you mentioned after completing the flash it’ll bring you back to cmd screen. Mine apparently completed flash but did not return me to cmd screen. I’d assume it’s ok to just refresh pc?

[@CaptNemo_]

Hey bro so I have a gigabyte 3090 gaming oc and the bios update on their website F12 matches mine but when I try to update it say bios version doesn’t match when it does, how do I update it

[@yadboss2877]

Hi is it okay to do it on safe mode

[@DLMtechgarage]

yea

[@Content4Enjoyer]

My gpu is freezing, doesnt in safe mode or clean boot. I’ve tried other gpus they don’t freeze. Should I try updating the bios as a last resort?

[@DLMtechgarage]

as a last resort I would after you have checked temps.

[@user-zp8df2cv6m]

My 780 give Black sceen when Update drivers

[@myne00]

Not sure I'd show noobs an example where you're flashing the wrong bios for the card. It may work fine, but it also may not.

[@christopherjames9843]

AMD cards are easier to flash.

[@DLMtechgarage]

yup!!
