Are you typing a command similar to 'nvflash.exe -f -p 0 bios_name.rom'?

no.

 

only found to either type nvflash biosname.rom or with -4 -5 -6 in between

since mine says 0, should I then yup -f-p 1 biosname.rom?

Well, should've asked this first, but what command are you typing?

[AndersT2]

I've typed "nvflash bios.rom"

 

I've seen people use all different, like -4, -f ect, but no explanation about that they do or mean.

Right... sadly, I'm not sure on how flashing on Nvidia's side works. So you can try this. Use the nvidia card as the display without any other card in the system, though make sure it's set to boot in the DOS environment first. Then, once waiting about 30 seconds to make sure it's in the environment, slowly type out the command for flashing, making sure to make no typos. Then press enter, waiting a minute or so, before restarting the system. Yes, I know you'll be going in blind, but this should help.

I've tried booting into DOS, but can't find any nvflash that supports the 1080ti in DOS, only in the CMD within windows. and I only can get into safe mode in windows.

what was wrong with the original bios that came with the card?

[AndersT2]

Hopefully this is positiv.

 

I just reinstalled my 970, and the machine restarts at the same point in windows with that.

So I think I'm going to reinstall windows to see it that helps.

Got it working again. Crisis aworded.

 

Reinstalled Windows and everything seems to be working. Did a couple of minutes in "Tomb Raider" and it works without glitches. (Kinda impressed by the card, didn't start the fans anytime during the short test)
 

 

Thanks to everyone who took time to help.

Lession leaned, don't touch a GPU bios again.

 

 

Don't know what happened, but it seems somehow the Gigabyte way of flashing the bios, .exe file downloaded from the cards support site on gigabyte.com did f. up Windows somehow.
