Hi

You require a backup of the original or original bios for Club HD 6950

Look here if you do not have a backup there maybe one in the vga bios database- http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/i...ace=&memSize=0

ATI Winflash CMD command line flash from backup

*If you are able to access windows with a spare vga card or onboard vga; Uninstall any AMD drivers for the vga card

Download and install latest version of ATI Winflash from here - http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads..._2.0.1.18.html

Place barts.bin in the ati winflash main directory

In windows task bar goto
- Click Start Button
- Type "cmd"
- Right click the entry and select "Run as Administrator"
- Black command prompt windows opens
- Type "cd c:\winflash"
- Type "atiwinflash -unlockrom 0" <-- the 0 means first adapter, try 1 if you have booted to the PCI card
- Type "atiwinflash -f -p 0 barts.bin" OR again 1 as the case may be
- It should complete the flashing process with a message saying something with "verified"
Note: *ensure all non essential background tasks are closed while undertaking this procedure within the windows enviroment
