Hello Swordiel, Nooooo. Please please please dont update your bios without contacting us first. Unfortunately, flashing or modifying your bios will void your warranty. There was never a bios update for the 7900 series as it wasn't needed and a UEFI bios was never released. Fortunately, i should be able to find the original bios and you can flash it back. That should resolve the issue.
Non-reference cards should never be flashed unless specifically notified by the manufacturer. Please PM me the serial # and ill start digging around.

Thanks

If you PM him the serial number,Your warranty will definitely be voided.
I would try a blind flash with this: http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/137984/xfx-hd7950-3072-120927.html
Maybe you can use a diff GPU or onboard graphics to do it.

Oh common man, do you think xfx troll sites just to get serial numbers to void a warranty? Those guys have better things to do then be dough bags!
XFX is asking so he may help a fellow out and not go ahh haa busted ya ya little prick lmao!
These guys have the tools to help resolve problems, I'd know, I had issues back a few years ago and xfx were awesome to deal with.
At the OP, send him the number so he can identity the exact card and pull the proper bios up and they'll send it to you with detailed instructions on how to fix the bad flash
PS, they only void if the card has a different bios/ a bricked card. They won't void the card if it has the proper bios installed, the xfx rep is offering help that's all.. Thanks xfx dude!

Yeah, for the record, I've only had to void a warranty once (over 15,000 RMA's through the door)... it was a batch of 7950s that had been flashed to 7970 low power states/max efficiency settings and mined on for over a year. Luckily i was able to repair all but 1 of the faulty cards by flashing them back or replacing fans and thermal paste. The person was getting ready to sell them after his mining operation went down and realized they weren't stable on normal 3d benchmarks. go figure.
Anyway, If i can get the original bios for your serial #, it may solve all your issues, if not, flash it back to the original and if its still faulty, we can RMA it. Let me know

Warranty is voided,Let me know if you would like to find a GPU you can use..I'll provide it to you @ cost..on the house.
Sometimes people don't care about making a profit;It's about taking care of people.
PS:Fuck XFX..yes they are as good as Dell for the warranty.. and they gimp the OCing on the hardware level on purpose..
No CHiL...some bs they put on there
XFX=The Dell of GPUs..Know that for next time.
