gpu flashing freezes-----FUUUUUU... need help right away!
18 replies, posted
so today I decided to overclock my little HD 4650 so i moded the bios a bit and than flash the on the card with winflash
the progress bar stoped after a few seconds right in the middle of the thing
and than the whole computer froze, I could move the cursor at the beginning but now after around 10-15 minutes I cant do anything
any ideas or is this supposed to be like this?
Do not restart. You have to restart for the change to take place, try to reflash it. You did make a backup of the old BIOS, right? Just put that back on it and never touch it again, use Rivatuner or other programs instead.
how can I do anything accept hard restarting if the whole thing freezed?
and yes i did make a copy of the original bios
You can't CTRL+ALT+DELETE or anything? In that case, hopefully you have an onboard GPU so you can reflash the ATI card.
yeah I have an onboard GPU
wait...
even when using the integrated card I can reflash the HD4650 card?

so i restarted in safe-mode and the card seems to be working, but there are some artifacts showing up in bios and in windows boot procedure (image is jumping from left to right and stuff)

I believe so, but I think you have to do it through a DOS bootable CD - I'm off to bed though. Shouldn't be too hard to Google it from here.
now I normally booted up and found out that everything is working fine, now just let me play a little game...
hopefully everything is stable
stupid computers -.-

it seems to be working fine
the flashing was succesfull I oc'd it to 700MHz/900MHz at 1.2V

More like stupid people who don't know what they're doing.
Why would you flash from your OS in the first place?

Flashing 101
People like you should stay away from flashing anything. That includes optical drives, gpu's, and your BIOS. You can cause permanent damage (rendering it useless) if you mess up. Only flash something if you have some way of repairing when you fuck up or it patches super critical security errors.
you gotta learn somehow right?
And most google results will tell you to flash from usb or floppy. Not directly from your OS.
Nothing wrong with going out of your comfort zone, guys.
well next time I'll know it
it turned okay actually
i got to 750MHz core and memory is at efective 1100MHz all running at 1.2V
next thing I'll do is ramping up the voltage a bit and overclock the core a bit, the memory i think can't go any further at any voltage

Why dont you just use a tool like evga precision? it means that your chances of everything going to shite are virtually none unless you decide to overvoltage it, which reduces the lifespan of your card
Or MSI afterburner, personal favourite.
like I already said: I gotta learn somehow
Flashing from within windows really isn't that bad, he just got unlucky.
It is odd though how most flashing utilities tend to take systems down.

Most flashing utilities work best on a USB DOS image
