Hey all

I have a problem with my sapphire radeon graphics card. What it is iv been having problems with drivers with being not responding then recovered. So i did some research online and quite a few forums have said flash and update the gpu bios. (stuped mistake of my life) Anyway iv worked out iv put the wrong bios on and i was wondering if its possible to revert the flash, but one problem i didnt back up the bios before hand so im stuffed. I have found one online what apparently it will work but i dont know how to make a bin format file to boot with a usb stick. If anyone can help me resolve this issue would be fantastic and saves me worrying to spend more money than i have.

Many thanks
Ryan:)

Hi,
You may be able to get the factory spec vga bios from this website Video Bios Collection | techPowerUp
You need a bootable USB and a flash tool. There is a tutorial here:Guide to Video BIOS flashing
If you get it working again learn for this and leave the video-card alone. I messed a Sapphire Radeon 9200 up years ago and had to send it back under warranty. Good Luck. Tony.:)
