Flashed Wrong vBIOS (Gigabyte 7970 OC)

lundi 13 avril 2015

Hi guys,



It's no big deal, I flashed the following vBIOS:

Upon restarting, I logged in and realised the drivers for my GPU have 'uninstalled themselves'. I installed the latest drivers from AMD (same ones I was using15.3 Beta). But upon restarting I was welcomed with a BSOD instead of the login screen. After the third Restart + BSOD, the OS (Windows 8.1 64Bit) allowed me to choose advanced start up options, at which point I booted into Safe Mode and used DDU to uninstall the drivers.



Logged into Windows fine, in MSI AfterBurner it showed me a new GPU name which I've now forgotten (7970, but it wasn't Gigabyte, and it wasn't Ghz Edition, it was Lightning Fast or Lightning something). Anyway that's not important, it was clearly the wrong BIOS. But I felt like I should attempt to install the drivers again after a fresh DDU Clean-up. After restarting I was faced with the same BSOD's, used DDU again. Flipped the BIOS switch on the GPU and booted fine (Thank God for that)... So basically I'm assuming my GPU didn't like the new clock speeds it received (it was too much), that's the only conclusive answer I produced.



Anyhow, I want to flash back the F72 BIOS for my Card on the messed up bios... I remember a year or so ago there was a method by which one would switch the bios to the messed up one while Windows was running, then proceed to flash the normal bios back using WinFlash or something (I don't recall).



So yes, I've completely forgotten the method. Anyone know if it's safe to switch the flip while the PC is running? I have no other choice really. I have to flash back a working bios over the wrong one from above.
