lol =D goei vraag ff ook eens zoeken
In the future, when you flash your GPUs BIOS from Windows and it fails, DO NOT reboot!
You can immediately reflash it from Windows with no issues.
While I was varying/testing my overclocks on my pair of 4850s I must have failed flashing at least 10 times, immediately reflashing saved me every time.
At this point you have two options.
First, you can do a blind flash.
You will need a bootable USB stick, BIOS file and a bit of googling.
Alternately, if you have another PCIe 16x slot and a spare GPU, you can put your bricked GPU in the second slot, boot from the working GPU and reflash the bricked card from Windows.
Either way, it can be fixed with a little work.
Just make sure to be more careful flashing in the future.

+ .Yes it worked. Thats what i did:
1) I bought a cheap PCI video card
2) I was still unable to boot to windows in normal mode (it shows loading screen but after few seconds auto restarts) but I could boot in safe mode.
3) I uninstalled my flash faild GPUs drivers and after that i was able to boot in windows normally with both cards inserted
4) I made a boot able floppy disk, put atiflash content and my bios file into this floppy
5) Restarted and boot into dos mode.
6) Commands that i used:
a) A:\atiflash -i (to check if atiflash was able to recognize my GPU)
b) A:\atiflash -p 0 BIOS.ROM
7) I still was seeing black screen so i removed my PCI card and I succeded
hopelijk helpt da
