Dear Avolate,
I can confirm that the BIOS does not change anything besides the fan curve and I am very sorry to hear that your system is having a issue. I am showing that we have a EAR in our system and we will have a replacement card sent out to you as soon as possible to assist.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you should need any further support.

I updated the BIOS because my card was running super hot on BF1 and now I am getting BLACK SCREEN on PC reboots. This is stupid...
