Hi
Welcome to TPU
first things first *Make a Backup of the Original Vbios
*
Use GPU-Z or similar app to make a backup of your vga bios.
Select: save to file
[
Tip: keep a copy or two on removable media]
use
VBE7.0.0.7b if possible to edit a
copy of the original Vbios rather than flashing a random rom file
Warning: using vbe7 to edit Vbios will disable UEFI-GOP rom profile
Next:
**If you are able to access windows with a spare vga card or on-board vga; Uninstall any AMD drivers for the vga card before the flash process**
