I messed up the bios on my gtx 570 by trying to edit the fan speed. Nvflash erased the bios and then failed to flash the new one. Whenever I try to flash any bios to the card I get this: C:\Users\Travis\Desktop\nvflash_windows_5.165>nvflash --index=1 -4 -5 -6 bios.ro m

Ok, try flashing with a older version such as 5.142.

UGH! Same thing: Identifying EEPROM... EEPROM ID (C2,2011) : MX MX25L1005 2.7-3.6V 1024Kx1S, page WARNING: Adapter does not have a preservation table, unable to preserve board settings. Clearing original firmware image... . Storing updated firmware image...

C:\Users\Travis\Desktop\nvflash_windows_5.142> I've even tried doing it from a usb flash drive and it says the same thing.

Ok, download driver sweeper. Uninstall all the nvidia graphics drivers & software from the system using add/remove programs. Reboot PC. Run driver sweeper 3.2.0, check mark NVIDIA - Display & NVIDIA - PhysX, select Analyse button, if a list of entries pop up select the Clean button, when asked to reboot select Cancel. Do the scan again to make sure all entries are removed/deleted. Shutdown PC. Move GPU to different PCI-E slot. Start PC. Try flashing with both versions. EDIT: Link fixed.

I did everything except switching pci slots as I no video signal if I try booting off of the bad 570. same error. I'm gonna try reflashing in a different rig and see if maybe that makes a difference. Otherwise I'll have to see how much evga wants to repair it.

Enable iGPU if your system supports it then flash the card.

Tried another computer with an onboard gpu and used a usb flash drive and I get the same same error. I can pick up anther 570 for around 100 bucks. I wonder if its even worth sending into evga. I bought it used and the serial number sticker is missing. I'm sure I'd have to pay to have it repaired.

You will need to find a method to repair the BIOs if it doesn't match the original factory BIOs

What he meant is that EVGA won't touch it if you send it in without the correct BIOS on the card. The missing S/N sticker is a second issue. Basically, if you send it into EVGA, they will just send it right back to you.

There are surely more than three possibilities, but three things come to my mind.
1) your saved BIOS backup could be corrupt 2) the bios could be locked or the lock bit could be corrupted. Have you tried "nvflash --protectoff"? 3) windows abstraction could hinder hardware access. Have you tried booting from a USB stick into good old DOS?

All I ever did when flashing a single card was run cmd and type: cd desktop\nvflash_windows_5.165 (then press enter, to run nvflash that's in the desktop folder) And then nvflash --protectoff -4-5-6 yourbios.rom (then press enter) Using the iGPU/onboard graphics and having only 1 card it's: nvflash -i0 --protectoff -4-5-6 yourbios.rom (then press enter) You can use nvflash --list to ID the card and show it's position (<0> or <1>, etc.)..The proper position must be specified if you have more than one card or are using the iGPU/onboard graphics to flash the graphics card..-i0 is for card 1, -i1 is for card 2, -i2 is for card 3..If you're using --index=1 (-i1), that would be for flashing card 2, not card 1. I think you're messing up on the command lines.

bob16314 You can use nvflash --list to ID the card and show it's position (<0> or <1>, etc.)..The proper position must be specified if you have more than one card or are using the iGPU/onboard graphics to flash the graphics card..-i0 is for card 1, -i1 is for card 2, -i2 is for card 3..If you're using --index=1 (-i1), that would be for flashing card 2, not card 1.
If the OP's motherboard has a PLX chip on it the first card will actually be --index=1.
