| Flash Trouble Gainward fx5900 I just flashed this board to a xf5900U. Flash was successful But on rebooting my mahine the card has dissappeared from mw system. Tried reflashing but flash Proggie says there isn't a nvidia adapter to flash (that is flashing back to orig bios). used nvflash 4.41 and gainward bios. I've tried reseating the card re-booting all to no effect. Any help would be very helpful. Thanks in advance. |

| I think you bios on the card is corrupted, i had the same problem and a friend fixed it. I dont know exactly what he did but he typed the command and used just one extra thingy to see what it sead. So for example he typed nvflash /P en next time and an other time nvflas /u etc.. |

| Do you still got something on your screen or is it black? Isnt there an option with nvflash to force the flashing? See the text file with it..
