do you have onboard graphics?

My PC system is:
Mainboard X38 (dual PCIe 16x) I have another VGA card (not on board), thanks you, please tell me how to fix the problem.

try using the serch function at top for blind flashing or I think it may be possible to flash with the old GFX and the 3870 in at the same time...you just need to be certain to use the right ID to flash to.

This topic has been covered tho already for sure.

May be quicker to search than to wait for those same few with experience in this exact endeavour!

use the other vga card. then flash the 3k with the factory bios. you don't have to blind flash if you have another card. PM if you need more help

that's fine if it doesn't show it up. it won't if there's a bad flash. just restart and run ATIFLASH.

run this command- atiflash -i

and tell me if it sees your card then. IT SHOULD!!!

or if that doesn't work, find your self a spare PCI (not express) graphics card, then try that, it can somtimes mess up flashing software having the card you dont want to flash as primary and the one you do secondary.

You can try this too, but it should work with pci-e. Always work for me.

when you go to flash the card use this command.

atiflash -p -f 1 (then the bios name)


the one stands for the second slot, 0 is for the primary.
