I have one PC that I am using right now that has integrated GPU :)

Plug the broken card into the spare pcie 16x slot, plug monitor into that card and see if you can boot from it, if not replug into igp

I have one PC that I am using right now that has integrated GPU :)

What specific pc/motherboard?

I have a question.
Do i plug it in with a 6-pin connector?
Or not? When i don't plug 6 pin, PC will boot, but from a iGPU, no signal from PCIEx 16 card. [This GPU HD5750 NEEDS that 6 pin to even be seen in that slot :/]
But when i plug the 6 pin, like it should be, PC will start, fans are spinning like crazy, but nothing on screen, and yes i have my display cable put into a PCIe 16x GPU. And yes i tried switching cable to iGPU when PC was running.


PC is HP Compaq dx2300

iGPU - Intel 946GZ Express Chipset Family or Intel GMA 3000 Dynamic Video Memory Technology 4.0 NOT sure, under Device manager, under GPU it says Intel 946 Express Chipset


MOBO - MSI MS-7336 Socket LGA775 PCI-E mATX

Would a -mb command help in AtiFlash? :/

Or is there a way to scan for adapters again while being in DOS AtiFlash? [I don't mean the -i command]
'Couse i could try starting PC without 6 pin plugged in, then plug it in while in DOS?



If everything fails, can i try Frogger sugestion from this thread? It is even possible to do on that card? o_O

[PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS :)]

I know that.
But listen, my GPU is not outputting any signal, and PC doesn't want to POST or BOOT, just a black screen and fans spining, on a full speed.
Yes i have everything plugged in, a display cable is in DVI port, on a Sapphire GPU, yes the power is connected to my GPU via 6pin. YES my GPU is inserted in a PCIEx16 port :)
Yes i tested every one of display ports on my GPU, including HDMI and DisplayPort.
If i unplug the 6-pin connector, and put the display cable in iGPU my PC can start.
I can leave my GPU in a PCIEx16 port without 6pin, with cable connected to my iGPU and it POST's.
As soon as I plug 6pin in my Sapphire GPU, PC doesn't want to even POST.

I am not dumb, i tried everything. I know what I am doing, i fucked up, and i want to know if I can repair that.
If the card is fried, dead, burned to ashes, i will accept that, but i just want to try to repair it, is there an option of soldering something, or unsoldering something on a PCB of GPU to repair FlashChip/BIOS?

How can i flash the GPU when my PC won't post with it being plugged in, and when i unplug 6pin, it won't even detect that, something is in PCIEx16 port.

It's not like; "Ohh I don't get the signal, but PC posts, and goes to Windows, i can hear windows noises, without displaying anything" If it were like that Autoexec would got it done, but it doesn't even POST :)


I know i am repeating myself a lot, but i just want You to know that i very appreciate Your help, and that, You are wasting Your time on My problems, but You're giving me thing to try, that I already have tried :)
I tried to say as clear as I can what the problem is, english is NOT my native language, but i am trying my best, to at least make any sense :)

P.S.
About BIOS of my MOBO, that GPU worked in that PC before. :)
I have 2 of them, both were inside at some point and they were working without any problems, but I will update my BIOS tommorow, and will tell You if something changed.

Fyi I was only covering all the bases.

There is 1 bios setting in some motherboards, that is video boot priority- look at that too.

Yes the card is most likely bricked.

If no display on mobo bios setting change for video, restore it then i want you to put card in spare pcie slot, have monitor hooked up to igp and then get a GPU-Z screen shot from the card. That may help determine what is wrong or right too.

Ok so when monitor is hooked up to igp and you plug the 6 pin in it causes a no boot?

Yes exactly. But i figured that flashing wrong BIOS could not make GPU act like it was toasted.. so I posted a thread here.. to find out what i can do.

Hmm so you cannot get anything on screen using igp when gpu is in pcie slot and 6 pin power is inserted.

Do you have a spare 6 pin?

If you're going to muck around with soldering, you might as well go whole hog and buy an SPI flasher to do it right.
