ok i was browsing through omegacorner.com and saw the bios updates and everything so i though id give it a go to see how much performance id get. so i downloaded the latest 9700 pro bios and flash utility. sus'd everything out. then rebooted to dos and typed in atiflash -p 0 978004p.bin its started doing stuff. had "SERIAL ROM" with some id's and stuff.

then had an error saying "ERROR: timeout: ROM IDLE AFTER BULK ERASE"
and now my gfx card beeps long and boots up without a display. so i put in my tnt2 and it bootup. im guessing my 9700 doesn't have a bios. ive tried flashing the original bios but the same thing comes up. so how the hell do i get my bios back? Please help as ive run out of ideas and i guess i wont be able to get a replacement. Thanks guys

If you have a PCI video card you should be able to boot with it and then reflash the 9700 back to the original bios

Maybe try flashing it in a friends PC..could be that your mobo is causing a concern?
