Evga rtx 3070 firmware update failed!

[Dallies]

Hi thanks for looking. Evga's precision x1 software prompted me to update my gpu firmware which has now failed and presenting me with a message to contact evga and not to power of or restart my machine until instructed to do so by evga!

What the hell?

Not much you can do here but instructed by the message, if evgas own software has advised you to do this, then they're responsible in my eyes although I haven't seen the disclaimer or software myself to give proper advice. Just phone, live chat or email support and try get them to sort it.

Either that or is there an evga rep on here?

What model EVGA 3070 ? make sure to have the model and part number, you may need to NVflash it to make sure it boots up again on next reboot, if the firmware has been corrupted by precision x1 while flashing the update.


Check if the card you have is on here :- https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios...=RTX+3070&interface=&memType=&memSize=&since=


Then download the bios and flash it with NVflash before rebooting or shutting down. If the card has a dual bios then you can always use the second bios to boot back up and flick the switch to the corrupted bios and nvflash it too. BUT if a single BIOS version then do not power off or restart windows unless you make sure the bios on the card is fine, download GPU-Z to check if the program sees the bios version you have before even flashing the card to make sure they are the same as the ones listed on the site and if GPU-Z shows a bios version and sees the cards details correctly it may have not flashed the card the precision x1 bios update tool.

Download GPU-Z https://www.techpowerup.com/download/techpowerup-gpu-z/ and stick a screenshot up before doing anything, also do not power down the pc or restart windows until you are sure the GPU BIOS is fine or it will need to be RMA-ed if it only has one bios and basically a brick unless you have another card to start the pc up with that works and have the broken card in to flash it back to life.

Thanks for the replies. Nvflash has successfully flashed it. Thanks. The old and new bios versions are exactly the same, I don't know what happened there. Panic over.
