1224919 2011-08-21 14:34:00 Hi all nerds and geeks. :rolleyes:

Just got a Dell xps 630i.

With this graphics card ASUS EAH4870/HTDI/512M/A
www.newegg.com

Bios they used was from here
www.asus.com

Person tryed to flash the graphic card bios and it failed.

Problem is when powered on nothing shows on screen not even the no signal logo. I have another graphics card that I have tryed in the system and it boots fine into windows and screen works.

The mother board is Nvidia 650i SLI
www.compxp.com

Any ideas on how to flash a new bios to the card or is a brick.

Thanks

1224921 2011-08-21 15:04:00 The bios file off asus site is a exe. But found this link its got a Bin file vip.asus.com

could I install the working card in slot 1 and the not working card in slot 2 and reflash the bios?

Also the fan of the card spins like normal.

Just seen there is a EAH4870/G/HTDI/512M version of the card to. Has G in it but looking at the bios specs they look the same exe file.

I would think so as long as the flash program is smart enough to let you choose the correct card. I'd want to try it with some old card I didn't care about as the main myself in case it stuffed that one too.

1224923 2011-08-21 22:16:00 Are you using Vista / Win7? And was a single card installed (like it says on the ASUS site, when whoever tried to update it before)?

Looks like this is how you use ATIflash (www.techpowerup.com)

So, first you have to make a bootable disk / or USB flash drive

Only had the single ASUS Card in the machine at the time of flash.

Will look into that now.
