Hi my graphics card loads up all right up just before the winxp logo screen and then goes out I think my bios is damaged is there a way of reflashing a gigabyte gv-r92s128t

Hi before taking the route of flashing the graphics bios, have you on xp boot up pressed F8 and tried starting in safe mode? if it starts in safe mode then check in device manager for a graphics card conflict , (yellow exclamation!)right click to uninstall corrupt driver you will have to reinstall graphics driver once xp reboots. what makes you think its the graphics bios? regards

Hello there! Im having issues with my card today and yesterday, and I've just reflashed my card, it didn't work but my problem is likely to be fried memory, rather than your problem. Check this out, you can flash pretty much any cards BIOS, I know Nvidia use NVFLASH, but not experienced with ATi. Have a look here: http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1633&page=2 Hope this is of some help. Be sure to have the correct BIOS for your card, and you WILL void your warranty by flashing the BIOS as this is something that the manufacturer cannot control you from doing, hence voiding your warranty. I've flashed two corrupt cards with similar symptoms before, but I'd recommend testing your card in another system first to make sure that its deffinately the card that is at fault, and not a conflict thats occured on your mobo or something else. Flashing is the last resort. PS - if it goes pear, you can attach an Nvidia card into your system so that you get a display again (flashing the incorrect BIOS is very likely to leave you with what appears to be a duff GPU - no display) and then reflash the ATi card whilst that is also attached... the ATi and Nvidia use specific software for flashing, i.e. not the same software. You can't fix a busted Nvidia card by using another Nvidia card as NVFLASH cannot differentiate between the two makes as they are the same. If you screw an ATi card, and put an Nvidia one it so that you have a display, you will use the ATi software to flash the card back, so it will choose the only ATi card in your system, NOT the Nvidia one. Sorry if this is confusing... use google and you'll be suprised at what you can find. Best of luck. But BE careful. Read the instructions carefully. Your card is older and I very nearly screwed an 8 month only Nvidia 6800 GT, worth at the time about £290!! Cheers, Alex Alex

You should troubleshoot your problem...I highly doubt your video BIOS is to blame. I don't recommend reflashing...you may end up making your card completely useless. Alex's post above is an excellent example. Don't do it! ASUS A7N8X-X Athlon XP 1800+ 8.5 x 200MHz 1024MB PC3200 2.5-3-3-7 Asus A9550GE/TD 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro SP2

I agree with Jam. The Bios is not your problem. Try a different monitor. If that doesn't help try reseating the video card. If still no good, replace the video card.
