I bricked my GTX960 and after so many attempts of flashing BIOS I finally able to make the GPU work. But the Display output is garbled even at the BIOS screen. From some googling I figured out it was caused due to Flashing a Corrupted BIOS and not related to Drivers or Operating system. That is why even the BIOS screen is even Garbled the only place where the Video output is good is when some information is shown just before the BIOS screen.

 

The BIOS I used is a Galax 2 GB which is the GPU I am Using.

Could Flashing BIOS with another GTX960 2GB card Fix the problem ?

Why not flash to a proper vBIOS made for that card?

This is the Proper BIOS but some how it is corrupted. I tried flashing it again but no use

man why can't people resist doing things that can literally break your stuff. I hate flashing BIOS's on my hire laptops, because ive literally seen them fail midway through on about 5 or 6 occasions, and turn the laptop into a paperweight, sure we have enterprise protection and can get it replaced in less than a day, but for people who actually bought and own these computers, doing a BIOS update when you dont NEED to is just retarded.

Dude I was trying to get Fanless mode on my GPU but the BIOS Update failed. I thought it turned into a Paperweight but after continues Tries it finally Worked but with Garbled Display output. Now i am tring to fix it. I know flashing BIOS is risky and I won't do it unless I have something to Gain from it

so your card didn't officially support fanless mode ?

Its not the corrupted BIOS its the PCI slot of my motherboard that created the garbled image. I connected the Gpu to another machine, ended up working fine. Now i need to change the Motherboard. No problem my friend has a H61M-S a mini itx board with all the features of mine and he doesn't need the PCIe slot. Better have a exchange with his one. Nothing to blame i inserted the GPU and removed the GPU more than 100 times. Today.
