Doing a BIOS flash on the GPU shouldn't be necessary if things were working before your clean OS install. To me, flashing the BIOS on a GPU is meant for two things:

1) Being an extremest - someone that wants to fine tune and get the most out of their GPUs
2) Very last ditch effort to fix a GPU if all else fails.

A clean OS install should not require you to flash the BIOS on your GPU.

You need to type the nvflash command parameters after the nvflash name.

It has no gui, so you need to feed it command line arguments

start an elevated command prompt, navigate to the folder with nvflash using cd and other commands, then type nvflash and the parameters.
