Yup I know, I f ed up. Now my card just goes red light on the mobo and doesn't even let the computer POST, just goes black.

so, going straight to the point of recovering the card:

I DID backed up the original bios with gpuz. I followed this thread's steps:


1)Booted my machine with my integrated card
2)booted up with an usb stick and ran amdflash
3)flashed the original rom to the vga
4)still doesn't work :(

I tried to flash again, just in case I did something wrong, but no, when I try to flash the original bios again, amdflash says it's already loaded, so the original bios is indeed there.


That thread also shows I can try shorting the chipset in the back, but I can't really understand how to do it, and anyways, it seems it's done in order to flash the original bios, that I already have!


do I have any more choices or my vga is unusable forever?

Thank you all

UPDATE: Fixed it! God knows why my backed up bios (that I took through gpu) was bad.
I downloaded a bios and it's now working!
