Alright, I bricked my Gigabyte windforce R9 290 by flashing faulty bios on to it, even better, i managed to brick the second bios (I am very smart).
Also while switching the switch to use another bios i managed to brake the switch and it came out ...
PC doesn't POST with R9 290 in it (classic black screen), only posts and works fine when I use Intel's iGPU (which i cant game on).
And right now i cant flash the normal BIOS on because system wont even recognize the card because there is no bios, I also get "adapter not found" when trying to get info or flash the bios in the DOS using AtiFlash.
I've found the "short 1+8 pin on the bios chip" method but it wont work
, also tried shorting 4th and 5th pin (1st YT comment) but that also doesnt work.
My best guess is that i didnt make good contacts on the pins or the BIOS switch on the card is fucked and doesnt make good contact as well (I managed to put it in somehow, but it doesnt feel right).
Here are all the pics, might help.
