Anyone got a few mins spare to post a flash guide for a 3090?

Hi all, I've searched the forum and the newest guide (I found) was 2015.

Can anyone give an up-to-date guide on flashing the RTX 3090, zotac "trinity" is the make, will be flashing it to a Gigabyte Gaming OC.

I've looked online. No detailed guides on how they did it for a 3090, only info given was the card and bios to be flashed details.

I've tried following guides for other cards but run into a problem. Step 1 is back up the BIOS, I try that with GPU-Z and get the following BSOD with an error message "Stop code : SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED. Stop code nvlddmkm.sys" and it reboots automatically in about 10 seconds.

In case this error is caused by protection on the BIOS, I tried nvflash64.exe --protectoff in cmd prompt (as admin) and get the same error message as above. I've tried googling the error message, there's nothing there relevant to GPU BIOS flashing.

I haven't actually tried the command for flashing the BIOS yet, i'm a bit hesitant, with the above error message and all and it's a £1600 card etc.

Any ideas?

vga bios:

next you'll also need nvflash 5.66.0 which can be had here

https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-nvflash/

lastly here is the link for the steps to flash your card

https://www.overclockersclub.com/guides/how_to_flash_rtx_bios/

follow all the steps as instructed in the walkthrough, if at any point up until the flash process you don't feel comfortable just exit and nothing will happen or flash over.

if any of the above links arn't allowed please let me know so i can remove them
