URGENT help needed! Please, help me. 7970 BIOS flash gone wrong

[taltool24198]

Hey all.
I just tried to flash my 7970 GHz bios. Now I cant boot the PC. I cant see the blue screen it gives, because its going too fast, but I tried to unplug the 7970, tried to run safe mode (which fails to boot as well), tried the windows repair tool.
I don't know what to do next, as the only solutions I found are by going to the bios backup and re-flashing it, which I can't do as my PC wont boot in any mode.
What do I do next?
P.S, I have no support at all available besides you guys, for the next 2 days. I really need help. And fast. Got a game I need to attend tomorrow morning :|
Thanks!
P.S YES, I did use the right BIOS.
P.S.S When I try and boot in safe mode, it crashes exactly at the same driver every time, which is the CLASS.PNP .
Every time, the same driver. I dont rekon it will help, but worth writing if it will.

Have you tried messing with the Cmos battery? Also if you used the Factory reset header on the motherboard did you reseat the jumper in it's original position after jumping it? It's really beginning to sound like this may have turned into a motherboard problem.
Definitely see if you can find somebody with a computer to pop the 7970 in and test it on. Also have you tried booting with just 1 stick of RAM, I know it probably has nothing to do with the RAM but may be worth a try.

No idea what you mean by CMOS battery. Or the factory reset header. Or the jumper.
I dont have any gamer friends. All of them have crappy laptops. Im the only gamer I know with the kind of setup that can drag this card behind.
Tried booting with each and every one of the RAM sticks, alone, as of one at a time. Same error that is too fast for me to read, its literraly .2 seconds.

Unplug all of your stuff....take out the mobo battery...

With no GPU in and no mouse or keyboard or anything plugged (no hard drive) in see if it will post. (Put the battery back in tho)

Then add just what you need. Monitor to the mobo, mouse, keyboard. Power on and get into BIOS if you can.

See if there is any change.

I cant locate the battery.
I unplugged literraly EVERYTHING on the pc. Same result.

Also how far along exactly are you getting in the bootup process? Like are you still able to get past the Motherboard posting? I see you listing a lot of different things you've tried and I'm trying to get a picture of when exactly the system is failing in the bootup process.

I start up. I get the MB logo, and then "Start windows in normal mode" or in repair mode, I choose normal, or safe mode by pressing F8 repeatedly, I get the 4 little lights of windows circling together. About .5 seconds after that 4 lights appear, they are stuck for around .2, .1 seconds, and it then crashes. I get a blue screen that lasts for .1 seconds or something, I cant even see the text, my eyes arent fast enough to focus on it, and then it starts that process all over again.

^Yeah thanks so much mate, I didnt at all work for weeks in a grocery store to get the money to buy that card...
Excuse me for trying to push my hardware to the limit. "In god's name" I dont have the money to keep upgrading my PC, SO I want to be able to OC as much as I can.

First of all sorry for being harsh.
Second did you try what I said ? get live cd os like ubuntu or portable windows xp (not very legit if you don't own license for one) and check if rest of your hardware is working.
Third you don't buy pc hardware for the future especially not the high-end overpriced one 😛 In next gen same performance part will probably cost around 40% of what you paid now.
I say that GPU overclocking is only worth it when it delivers staggering performance increase within safe thermal headroom check GF 460 and most mid-high range GPU's they are often good OC and you don't loose 500$ when you fail LoL.
That's just my opinion pushing hardware to the limit is for people who agree with the risk and can afford it... it's like going to casino great excitement but sooner or later you loose money. Max overclock varies from chip to chip by huge factor so don't expect to match achievements of oc and cooling specialists posting theirs stable oc data.
Honest opinion OC 7970 to it's limit now ? when It maxes all games without effort why ? You take the risk gaining nothing but bragging rights in return. I have 6850 factory OC and I'm perfectly fine with it's performance (1440x900 screen) ultra on all games never below 30 fps and mostly over 50-60 only biggest hogs hamper it.

Fourth it's you don't need to OC 7970 to play on max details probably for next 2-3 years.

might or might not be related but did you try switching your SATA mode to AHCI? I have an SSD and whenever I reset my bios settings I had to switch it from IDE to AHCI or else it bsods over and over.
