GeForce 8800 series, and flashing with two cards present? - 2008/05/02 15:01 Hello everyone, I have a small problem, I have two cards, one of them is the GeForce 8800 GTX and the other one the GeForce 8800 GT. The problem is that the GTX seems faulty. When I put it as the only card in the computer it won't beep, but it won't boot neither. If I put it as second one onmy Foxconn X38a mainboard and connect the display to the GeForce 8800 GT one, I am able to run Windows, it starts to install the drivers, but after all all I can see is the yellow exclamation mark in device manager.

I believe it may be a problem with the GeForce 8800 GTX's BIOS, so I want to flash it, the problem is how to flash just the GTX if I have two GeForce 8800's in the mainboard? Or maybe it's not the BIOS problem, what may cause this? Thanks for all answers.

It might be indeed an issue with the BIOS though the best way to find out is to first see to backup the BIOS. So to do so we will use nvFlash v5.57 or newer and a bootable DOS media, so a floppy or a USB memory stick. And you boot your PC from it with both card installed into it, and then you use the commands as listed below, once done attach both BIOS's on this thread and also provide us the brand of each card?

nvFlash v5.xx Commands...
"nvflash -b -i0 orig88gt.rom" (Backup of BIOS from Card #1)
"nvflash -b -i1 orig8gtx.rom" (Backup of BIOS from Card #2)
