Flashed wrong Bios. It bricked my 1050 TI. Error "please power down and connect the pcie power cable for all graphics cards"

[crocodilebully]

Hello Guys,

I will shorten it up a little.

I installed a good custom Bios from elitegroup for my Zotac GTX 1050 TI OC. It was pretty good. I wanted a better one and flashed a bios called "geil". Its German and means "nice". It bricked my GPU with the Error "please power down and connect the pcie power cable for all graphics cards".

I cant get into Windows except I disable the PEG compelety and run on my IGP. But I cant see the GPU in the Device Manager.

This is how it looks like, when I try to flash it, when only the IGP is enabled. The GPU fans are running btw.

I tried creating a FreeDOS USB Stick, but the crappy Lenovo bios doesnt recognice the MBR format. When I run UEFI wit GPT format, the Error still occurs, when PEG ist enabled. If disabled, UEFI cant see the GPU.

Is there any way back? Ill try it later again on my main machine with my Aorus B450 an my GTX 1060. Will it work with my main system? What do you think?

Thank yall.

that error message means that the power cables are not connected… (or that is what your computer says when you have a graphics card that needs power and is not connected)

i have a 1050ti, it does not need power cables… so you may be SOL.

you might be able to use your 1060 and 1050ti in the same system and flash the 1050ti… but you may get that error message…
so SOL.

You will need a spi flasher to fix this.

And I hope you learned something from this to not screw with your cards

SOL is shit outta luck

Did you try to disable Windows core isolation/memory integrity as nvflash has suggested? Leave the PCIe slot enabled, set the motherboard to intentionally boot from the iGPU. Hopefully this should let you past the "power off and plug in power cables" message. It should show in nvflash then, if it doesn't then it is as @eidairaman1 says, you will need to buy a hardware spi flasher to fix it.
