G752VY 980M-G-sync BIOS (from GPU-z) Original suffers power throttling, at least that's what GPU-z Perfcap says... Can you apply your magic here too? Thank you! GM204.zip

Wanted to share my experience here to help other users with a much less invasive solution to restore BIOS access and make the PC boot again... The other day I bricked my ASUS G751JY: black screen on reboot after I used Intel XTU, where I checked the very dangerous option "Force Reboot" (which actually means "Apply on reboot even before the POST and BIOS loading!") after I changed core MHz from 100 to 108. No BIOS booting, nothing: laptop switched on but after 10 secs switched off. Any key combo to access BIOS wasn't working anymore and all I could see was a black unlit screen. Lucky enough I've found a way to accede the BIOS... My G751JY was stock: the other 2 upper RAM connectors were empty (16GB).... So I tried adding to the stock 16GB a PC3 12800S @ 1.5V (no DDR3L) in the upper (wrong, on purpose!) slot: the system did not boot at all and shutdown immediately after I pressed the Power button on (weird!). Then I moved the bank in the slot below (correct) and tried to boot: something strange happened at this time... Black screen, but after 5 secs it flashed (is alive!) and reset the BIOS due to config changes!! From that moment on I was able to access again the BIOS and I resurrected my powerful G751JY!! EDIT: Beware though! XTU was still installed and on next successful reboot it tried to re-install the bad CPU profile! To avoid that, reboot first in Safe Mode and with 'Autoruns' tool disable everything related to XTU from Everything tab (filter "intel") or the loop will restart again!

So, is it 100% safe using VBE7.0.0.7b to edit current card (I got 7970m by Dell in my MSI GX660) VBIOS dump? I mean, is it a reliable tool (consider I want just try some under/overvolting and nothing else) or may create corrupt images? EDIT: Yes it is. Just undervolted my Dell 7970m [VBIOS 015.017.000.001.042717 (113-C42904A1-117)] with VBE7 and worked fine!

Need help! Bricked my Dell 7970m (stalled black screen boot won't progress through BIOS) because of the f****g stupid ATIWinFlash tool where I accidentally tapped with the other hand on the mouse-pad and the program suddenly (!) started flashing the loaded (I was just curious to see voltages etc.) VBIOS without a damn warning/confirm request!! When the nightmare comes true... So, now... who can help me to blind re-flash the card (I have the vbios backup)? I'll pay of course for disturb... Plase, PM me, it's a pain to go back to 5870m! FIXED!
