    Enable the IGP, if you have one, boot into windows and reflash the VGA !
    Plug the video cord to the MOBO, of course. If you can't start windows try using safe mode, uninstall VGA drivers and reboot normally.

    It is a shame your motherboard hasn't got an IGP.. you will need to do it in safe mode or just take the vga to another computer and flash it from there !!!

    Well, the same way you flashed the bios first but with the original bios that came with the VGA. you didn't backup, didn't you?
    lol....
    well, if you didn't backup, you should go online and search for the bios yourself and reflash it with that. look for the model carefully (on the box)

    Maybe one of these bios? download them and try !

    Here's some info on how to flash bios:

    http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/overclocking/vidcard/34

    It is a bit old but it can help. of course there's new software nowadays to do that, but just so you understand the basics.
    Yopu can use any flashing tool out there, but it is recommended to use a flashing tool approved by many users...

    Nvflash Commands

    nvflash -b bios.rom
    to pull the bios from the card

    nvflash bios.rom
    to flash the bios to the card

    If you have more than one card...

    nvflash --list
    to see what cards you have and what index they've been assigned

    nvflash --index=x bios.rom
    to flash to a specific card in a multicard system, where x is the index number from the nvflash --list command

    nvflash -f bios.rom
    to force flashing


    use or find a pci video card if flash fails

    looks like you would use
    C:\nvflash -f 570.rom

    First of all update nvflash to the latest version (nvFlash v5.77) from www.mvktech.net and also get your correct bios from the downloads section as all bios files have been tested and verified from that site.
    Looks like your version of nvflash is from 2004.
    I dont trust bios files from techpowerup, had problems in the past.
    Good luck.

    does it work ?

    if yes leave it alone before you break the card.
