thank you all, I downloaded this Bios, but its not working for me!!!
I have an old PCI VGA adapter, I tried to boot first from PCI and let the AGP Card inside but my PC wouldn't boot to bios or DOS, I tried with another PC then I heard 1x long signal and some other short signals think 8 or 9 signals, the VGA RAM seems to be dead. I'll contact MSI for the Warranty!!!!!!!

Thank you...

LOL you should have heard ....
and even more if you got a MSI why don't you use MSI updater ???
it can't be more easy ... install tool ... let it search for ahrdware .. see whats new ... and do not install GPU BIOS
but this maybe the only chance ... if you can get your PC running even with blank screen you can program the BIOS of Grafics card .... download MSI BIOS .... see how the update mechanism works .... remember all steps and do it blind .... or use for eyample a tool like VNC to watch your PC from another PC in network .... use good GPU install the tool ... replace it with bad one ... and then do the operation per network ..

Try to use the PCI along the AGP but this time you might try to clear your CMOS first, by adjusting the jumper. This is to let the Motherboard forget the old setting (may be AGP is set to primary or what ever) and restore to the default. If you motherboard doesn't have the jumper, try to remove the battery and put it in again after 2-3 minutes. I think this may be the ultimate solution before you cantact MSI for warrenty. Good luck! :wink:

Mertsch is correct, you killed it. Try getting a RMA by saying it just quit working and you don't have a clue as to why. Play as dumb as possible and NEVER try what you did again. Welcome to the "experience" club...

It's only funny when somebody else does it needlessly. The last thing I roasty-toasted was an AMD 1.4 T-Bird just before I hit 1.9ghz with it. AMD didn't really believe that it "just quit working" and only sent me back a 1.13 CPU as a replacement along with a little note that said if it died, too bad. That was two years ago, maybe I'm not trying hard enough...

Hi,

thank you all, only for those people to know I didn't damaged my Card, it stopps alone to work, my Monitor was dark.

Now I tried that way with PCI card I can boot with the PCI Card and the AGP is in the AGP-Slot and tried to flash the card but the NVFLASH says ((NO NVIDIA CARD FOUND)) can I do anything to try to read the eeprom or erase it to programm again...I got the MSI BIOS and the NVIDIA BIOS for the TI4200...

Please help me...

if you have both cards inside it a compatibility problem I think ....

can you pls telll again what cards you have ...w hich one is PCI which AGP which stopped working ..... and most important ... : is it possible to start the PC with the damaged card ... or does he give you a peep code and out ..... because that would mean the card is dead ..... when I flashed a GF2 with wrong BIOS there was simply no more signal from the card .... but PC run I was able to program new BIOS unfortunatly my card was that no name that no BIOS ran on it and there was not a single information about the manufacture

ok...

the dead card????? is MSI TI4200 T8X and the othe one is PCI ATI rage fury, as I told I can boot the PC with the ATI one PCI into Dos and the MSI still in the AGP-PORT, there is no problem till now I changed the first boot in bios to the PCI, the computer does't make any signal that means the AGP card is not dead, caused when any thing is wrong on the AGP card then my computer will not run, but the problem is hen I tried to programm the card the NVFLASH means ((no NVIDIA card was found)), is there any tool to use it instead of the NVFLASH to ignor thes problem, and programm the eeprom.

Mercy....

I don't know about any other tool ... but look very close at the options ... there is one switch to force update ....

but what is the reason you have both cards in ??? why don't you only plug in the nvdia card and try to flash it ???
if NVFLASH gets the Atir first there is no question why it malfunctions ... and it is not advicable to prgram Nvidia BIOS on Ati i think ;)

Try to use an older card such as 4 mb card and not a card which support 3D acceleration. That is what i think will probably works. And try to play with the primary AGP or PCI setting in bios. The tool that enable you to edit your bios is NVIDIA BIOS Editor utility from Ray Adams i have tried this utillities and it works fine. Which i convert the nvidia reference bios to my board manufacture bios, and there are a lot of setting that you can change, it is really cool (for me) thanks to Ray Adams.

Good luck! :wink:

I booted my PC with another PCI Card 3dfx, now I can start Windows XP, then installed some PC tools like DR-Hardware, Sandra 2003 and other tools no tool of them can get my AGP Card they got only the old ATI and the new 3dfx on the PCI bus, now I am sure the Card went with the wind (dead) , now I must contact MSI and tell them that the Card stops alone to work. May this is the last thing I have to dooooooo.

Thank you all for your help...
