    Help with my Gigabyte 6200 PCI-E

    Got one of these to go along with my venice (@ 2.7 rock stable!) and was planning to activate the other 4 pipes.

    But, I accidentally changed something in Riviatuner and now something is seriously messed.

    Vidio card doesnt read as anything in Riviatuner, window and I can't install drivers.

    Would a fresh BIOS fix this? if not, what should I do?

    Ok, Flashed the bios, that did nothing.

    Reformated HD and installed windows and flashed the bios again.

    Still getting the same thing...

    try wiping the card clean of it's bios. totally bare.

    use the command nvfalsh -e

    but do not reboot.

    flash the card like normal, after you erase the bios.




    "The command and conquer model," said the EA CEO, "doesn't work. If you think you're going to buy a developer and put your name on the label... you're making a profound mistake."

    ok, so i was using nvflash 5.13 which registered my card as an nVidia 6200

    with nvflash 4.42, everytime i try flashing i get "ERROR: NO NVIDIA display adaptors found"

    Hi SDX

    Early nvflash does not work with 6200/6600 series hence the error.

    If the vidoe drivers are not loaded then Rivatuner does not give much informtion. If you go into the standard display control panel what drivers does it say are loaded in there for the video card ?

    Regards

    Andy

    When I enter into properties of the video card it reads as "VGAsave"

    its using "non plug and play drivers"

    I will SS this when I get home later.

    Use nvflash 5.13

    nvflash -5 -6 -j file_name.rom

    then try installing drivers

    make sure you have the right bios too
