Hi,

Today I used ati rbe to adjust my original bios but when I flashed the updated one, It said it programed fine but then went to the blue screen and once I restarted the pc, it kept giving me a screen like the matrix.
So I tried the bootable usb drive with atiflash and put a standard 2900xt bios on it and it said programming done, just restart to finish. So I pressed the restat button on my pc and then the pc loaded but with no video output at all.

Is the only way to fix this to use the bootable usb with another bios but without any video output making it harder to see whats going on?

If you have a spare PCI or other video card, you can put that in the system and connect the video cable to it. This will let you see the info on the screen while you flash the other card.

You can use an old pci gpu sumthin like a geforce 2. Theres no need to install drivers. Indeed there prob wont be any drivers if your running win7

Click to expand...

Thats a driver error, if you can get into windows with safe mode but not normal, safemode dont load any drivers. Thats why its called safemode.
Did you uninstall drivers before flashing the card?
Otherwise, uninstall the drivers using safemode, use drivercleaner aswell.
