This looks like a Device ID match although I am unsure what putting what may be the same Bios on your card will solve but maybe this Bios has a different release date to yours............

IMO starting with a vBIOS flash is the wrong approach. You should do a lot of other troubleshooting before you do something as risky as the vBIOS flash.

It is the correct one for your card as it matches the device ID (presuming that the bios on your card is the original bios), if you are concerned because it is unverified, don't be, that simply means that it has not been checked and deposited into the verified bios uploads as we receive sometimes hundred's of Bioses, all of these have been dumped using GPU-Z.

the vbios flash is not my first step... When I play any modern game GTA V, RDR2, Battlefronts i get a few seconds into the game and the screen goes black, the pc makes a disconnect sound, the screen displays no input. Sometimes there is game sound but the keyboard/mouse/controller are locked. I have to hold the power button to power cycle. GTA V has had random crash issues for about a year, red dead ran fine until 3 days ago and now its unplayable as are all games now except for old school emulated systems.

I have updated all drivers and software on the system
I have uninstalled/reinstalled all software including windows
I have cleaned out the inside of the pc, including all fans
I have applied new thermal paste to the CPU and GPU
I have unplugged all nonessentials from the PSU to make sure I wasn't putting strain on it
I have updated BIOS
I have ran with my fans turned up and on an msi afterburner profile setup

All I have left is update VBIOS and get a PCIE extension cable to move my GPU away from my NOCTUA NH-D15 as they are crammed together and it may be putting pressure on the pcie slot causing a bad connection for the GPU.

How old is that PSU? I am only suspicious because clearly from your 1st post your problems occur when you are pulling a higher load out of that PSU, may be nothing but I have had similar in the past, try playing one of those games in a window at something like 720p and see if you still get the same problems.

Ok, I will try that.
The VBIOS flash didn't change anything...
Im going to head down town and try to pick up a PCIE extension and place my GPU elsewhere in the case. Beyond that I'm guessing a dead card. I bought it new from amazon.ca in 2020.

Check event viewer.

As of late gpu memory has been failing, pretty common on rtx 2000.
