Re:EVGA GeForce 7600 GT, and some BIOS flashing help needed? - 2008/05/15 00:29
First of all we don't like guys with no patience who just think they are alone having issues, and therefore this is your first warning and will also the last one. Just so you know some people have to sleep and secondly this is a website that is non profit, and which is just done out of hobby... Second, this is not just like any forums where you can just post just to get your problem solved first, you wait and hopefully someone will post a solution and if we don't have one than you are stuck. Just as you are now... But maybe we have some solution you can try out.
Than again, there are no BIOS's that are just slave SLI BIOS's so that is certainly not the issue, though you have flashed a different BIOS on the PNY card and most likely that newer BIOS was not at all well suited for it, though when it is kind of second to a card in SLI it can handle it as the first card does control the SLI config. But once it is alone something is missing. That is the only explanation I can think of and it is not very common though itis common when you have an older card and use a very new BIOS that was not designed for it as such since the design and memory chips have changed since.
So, the best thing you can do is you keep both card in the system, you use a bootable DOS media and you try flashing the second card, the PNY one once the PC is booted from that DOS media using nvFlash. Be careful as you need to make sure to use the correct index while flashing. And if that doesn't work, then I doubt your backup BIOS is okay or the newer BIOS you tried has overwritten some data it shouldn't have and then you are best to erase the full EEPROM first, though don't reboot when it is erased, do a flash after that immediately.
