Hi - long time lurker, first time poster.
Was hoping for a bit of your expertise on this matter. I tried flashing my MSI Twin Frozr II R6950 to a 6970, not doing my research properly, and now the card won't pass the POST.
I jammed a 8400GS in there (I know) and I can still see the crippled card in Windows in my second PCI-E slot.
Thing is, in my idiocy I managed to lose my original BIOS backup. Perhaps I could flash it with one of the BIOSes in the VGA BIOS collection here on this wonderful site? Problem is, I'm not quite clear on which one to use and I don't want to risk making things worse by just picking a random one.
There doesn't seem to be an BIOS for the MSI R6950 Twin Frozr II (there's one for a Twin Frozr II OC, but I have the vanialla 800MHz / 5000Gbps one). Do you think there's a chance the BIOS for the OC version will work, or the earlier MSI 6950 BIOSes (for the MSI 2PM2D2GD5) that have the same spec as my card? Has anyone been through the same rigmarole and have the correct BIOS I need perchance?
Thanks in advance,
Dave
