Hi
*What information about the adapter was shown any or nothing
?
To help trouble shoot.: When you first flashed the vga card what was it for
? increase core and mem / unlock shaders / stability or other
*Having to asume you have removed the vga card and inspected it for physical damage / burn or scorch marks maybe other
......................................................
Thank you for answering these questions;
1. Thank you re dual-bios
2. For future reference this is a way of extracting vga bios I use
Download GPU-Z here -

Example:
*Save to file
Make a copy of the extracted vga bios to modify [*Keep a backup in a safe place*]
3. power and fans spinning is a good sign, thanks

Set the motherboard bios to boot from usb *press F8 during boot; select from boot menu *if option is avalable; this should boot to a win98 dos prompt

Type at the dos prompt; atiflash -f -p 0 [#name of bios#].bin
[Note: 0 is the primary card PCIe slot one & 1 is the secondary PCIe slot two][*onboard vga = 0 if recovering from bad flash]
