R9 Fury BIOS Flash Issue

[GriffW]

On 9/21/15 I used ati flash to unlock my fury to 3840 shaders. This was done in windows, the 2 guides I read didn't make mention of flash by USB, I was unaware of this. Everything worked fine, it booted originally, i stressed it, it seemed pretty solid. Today (9/22), my computer would not boot up. I fliped the BIOS switch and booted into windows. My plan was to see if I could reflash it to make it boot all the time. The problem is, I did not flip the switch back. I accidentally wrote over the back up. Before rebooting I caught this mistake and flashed the back up bios. I rebooted and neither bios would boot.

I have used an extra HD 6450 and the intergrated graphics on the i5 4690k to boot into windows(10 pro 64 bit) and try to restore the backup(s). During that time I verified that windows did detect my card. After 1 or 2 tries I could no longer boot into windows with the fury on a PCIE slot (Boots just fine without it)I would get the Asus BIOS screen the loading rotating dots of windows 10 loading, then black. 1 or 2 times I got through, but now it seems like I cannot. The monitor does not shut off though, just continues to show a black screen. I made a bootable ati flash, after the first time I got into windows, ati flash showed my card there with "ati -i". Now it says "Adapter not found."

Apart from my apparent bricking of a dual bios card, is there anything that can be done? I am pretty sure that this is not covered in warranty, but would sapphire fix it for a price?

Thank you for reading, and for any help you may provide.
I don't want to spend that about of money 2 times in 3 months if I can help it.

I found the solution to this problem, if anyone else needs it.
Go to motherboard bios and set the iGPU as the primary display, but enable your computer to use your PCIE card and IGPU together. This let me boot into windows. Once in, I encountered
"atiflash failed to read rom ERROR 0FL01 ." The way I got around this was by using these (In an administrator command prompt and with run as administrator atiflash.exe running, with smart screen turned off) until I got a successful install:

Atiflash -f -newbios -p 0 'biosfilename'

Atiflash -newbios -f -p 0 "biosfilename"

Welcome to TPU and I''m glad you got it sorted. Sometimes folks can be quite scathing when BIOS flashes go wrong - especially in the case of trying to unlock cores locked off for a reason. The Fury cores are 'hidden' for a reason so it's unwise to try and play god to make it closer to Fury X. I'm aware of the talk about the extra cores being usable but in reality there is just too much that can go wrong when 'uncrippling' a card.

I'm sure you've not learned your lesson - none of us do!

I've never had a dual bios card, but I am surprised that both are writable! I would've thought one would be an immutable factory stock firmware, the other for user mayhem -- guess not!

Ive had vga biosflash go bad also, back in the Asus 3870 days. The flash went prfect, but increased power for the card, so it burnt off within 3 weeks. Since then ive never flashed any of my vga cards, lesson learned.

That would make a lot of sense, as a fail safe. I am surprised both are writable.
