I think i just bricked my GPU (FIXED )

[Karjian]

So recently i just bought a used GeForce® GTX 1070 WINDFORCE OC 8G and been using fine but i did something stupid and download Install a VBIOS download from the gigabyte website , and now i cannot boot up my PC with the GPU is there anyway to fix this ? I need to boot up PC by unplug the GPU and go into BIOS change the graphic configuration to IGPU and install back the GPU to make it boot up .
Whenever i use the GPU to boot up it will have a beep sound and i cant find any solution for that , have try removing the CMOS and put it back after few minutes its still same .
Sorry for my bad english , hopefully someone can help me fix this .

The first picture i attach is before i install the bios (Still can boot up details from GPU-Z)
The second picture is After i install bios and boot up using IGPU not the PCIE GPU

Do you have a copy of the original BIOS?

Definitely a bad bios flash. As its now on BIOS: Unknown
You need to find the same bios as your card originally had.
Keep the card plugged in but from bios as you told that you have switched to igp. So i presume you have no issues with the card plugged in while the display is from your igp.

You need this to flash its bios

That's the wrong bios man

There are 2 files one matches your device ID and subsystem ID of 3703 and bios version, the other does not.

This is the file you need.

One of these Tools you need to use for flashing, disable antivirus/antimalware tools.

If that tool doesnt work for you, use this one.

Flash back your original BIOS. If you didn't make a backup and can't find the original here in the GPU BIOS database, buy a new card. That last option kinda sucks, but always make backups..

 

[Karjian]

I dont have the original BIOS .. If i buy a same model GPU can i copy that BIOS ? Or all the BIOS is different

Sorry for bumping old thread but i have the same card as op except it’s rev.2.0 and almost the same problem.

Long story short is that i bought a used Gigabyte GTX 1070 WINDFORCE OC 8G (rev. 2.0)
The seller stated it was a working card, received it and i have spent hours to get it working.
Tried it with 3 different computers with different configs but no signal out.
The seller is not responding anymore.

stumbled upon this thread and gpu-z gives me similar info as op.
My problem is that i have no clue what the orginal bios was...

so what is my options?
Just start to flash different vbios from the database that is reported as the same card i have and hope it is going to work?

Can you take pictures of the labels on the back of the card? They might hell identify what exact card you have. TPU might have a VBIOS in it's database you can use to get it going, presuming the card has no physical defects.

Depends where and how you bought it.
Returning it for a refund should be the first option.

Hey, I have the same problem but with a gtx 1080. But the problem is that I can install any vbios, however, any vbios work for me. Its so weird because I only can install a vbios if I use ddu and then install the vga standard driver.
The device manager gives me error 31 when the vga standard driver is installed, and when nvidia driver is installed the device manager gives me error 43.

Although any vbios is installed, gpu-z show me the same picture as @Karjian

Thanks a lot.

Hi!
Sorry for my late reply, i have been in contact with gigabyte esupport, they said that according to my serial number my card should have the F60 bios.

They can’t help me rma the card because i dont have the invoice of the card (cant send it back because of private seller who refuses to answer calls or mail)
And they cant provide the bios either.

However, now that i know what bios i need i found it on this excellent site.
have tried with several different nvflash and i get a an error reading/protectoff/writing.

So i did order a CH341A programmer with 1.8v adapter. So i am currently waiting for the long shipping from china to Sweden.

will update when i received the programmer.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Check TPU's VBIOS vault and you should be able to find the right one.
