Help!(6950 BSOD)

Drago2030 · Mar 23, 2013, 06:18 AM

I have a reference design dual AMD radeon HD 6950
I was flashing it to be a 6970 then I rebooted now I have a blue screen of death. I can't do anything now.
Attempts: I did the BIOS 1-2 didn't work still BSOD
Any replies thanks.

If you have integrated graphics boot to that and reflash your 6950 to a 6950 bios...
a few questions....
have you flashed it before?
does your mobo have a uefi bios?

Drago2030 · Mar 23, 2013, 06:52 AM

No I haven't flashed before and don't know if my mobo has a UEFI BIOS
But the Mobo is: Intel P67 express chipset w/unlocked bios, CPU socket 1155 which the CPU is intel quad-core 2600k

What brand Motherboard?

Don't 6950's have dual bios? use the second bios to boot up then switch to the bad one and flash again.

how did you do it the first time?

jmcslob · Mar 23, 2013, 07:03 AM

you should have a little switch on your 6950...switch it to the other position

Drago2030 · Mar 23, 2013, 07:07 AM

Sorry for the inconvenience but my English is bad + I'm 12
I've changed the VBIOS to 2 rather than 1 it works but one thing it says go to windows or go to windows check up I chooses the windows check up and now some of my stuff is gone.

EDIT my GPU-Z says the 6950 its it its "stock position"

EDIT2 im going to flash the VBIOS to 1 so i can have my normal settings back and try and do it again if it fails i may have to stay VBIOS 2 wish me luck

Edit 3: it is done having a check on GPUZ... Normal condition all I need is to try and flash it to 6970 if it doesn't work then I have to put it to stock again and not unlocking the 6950
Still sorry for the inconvenience but it worked!
