Gigabyte didn't told me more than "You updated it incorrectly; We only have Samsung memory for it; Talk to your vendor...", so I sent my GPU back to warranty, to the store where I purchased it, and they tested it, found it was malfunctioning.

At least that's what the people from the Store said to me via e-mail, and they said they are sending me a good or new one: But I'm really unsure about all of this, mostly because of the store — they have lots of complaining about their service. Anyway, I might give you more details later.

I also told Gigabyte to put more warnings or take off the BIOS update from their website to avoid this, they could even put it on a different place, but they didn't listen! I guess people who doesn't understand about GPUs will be falling in this trap for a very long time yet.

Hello, Thanks for update.

I fully agree with you about warnings: Gigabyte should think for additional check for users who will going to use this BIOS update.
Please keep us updated when you will received your card from the store. Thanks

For those to whom it concerns: I had the same issue: flashed the bios thinking it was needed (just like with mobo) then card went all brick on me. It took me two days, but I fixed it and decided to post it here, In case it may help somebody. Here is how I fixed it: I moved the defect card to a second pci-e slot and placed an old pci-e card into the x16 slot. Then I got a suitable bios from the list in techpowerup and downloaded nvflash, also from techpowerup. I placed both in a folder I made on the C-drive and I rebooted into safe mode and disabled the defect card in the device manager. Then I opened up a dosbox (command prompt - I am old fashioned and still call it a dosbox :) ) cd'ed my way to the folder in which I had stored nvflash and the bios, which I renamed to bios.rom (dos allows solely 8 chars max) and ran nvflash64 -6 bios.rom (64 bc I use win10 64 and -6 because it kinda disregards which slot the defect card is, as I understood). If you have a wrong bios, like I did, it will first warn you that you have an incorrect sub pci or pci-sub and you have to type "y" if you agree to override the mismatched pci sub. Typed "y" and then it prompted me again to confirm whether I wanted to update the bios. Did so and when it was done, I rebooted into normal Windows again. Where my device manager previously had said that windows has shut down this device because it reported problems, it now says that it is working properly. Also, GPU-Z previously reported that my bios was unknown and that I had zero ram and MHz and more of that good stuff, it now shows me everything the card has. See pic. Hope this helps. Cheers from Dublin.
